About Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina)

Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina) is a first-person single player, narrative-driven experience that presents contrasting perspectives on French and Indigenous first encounters. Be prepared to face the dangers of Canadian wilderness and to make choices that could affect your characters.



Explore 17th century Canadian wilderness in this 3D linear game and experience the intertwining journeys of Jeanne, a French King’s Daughter stranded far from the French colonies and Maikan, a young Innu hunter trying to uncover what is disturbing his native forest, land of his ancestors.

Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina)
Jeanne is a strong-willed French woman who set sail to the colonies of Nouvelle-France, hoping to start a better life overseas. After her ship runs aground, she and the dog Capitaine emerge as its sole survivors. Forced to weather the dangers of Canada’s uncharted wilderness, her faith in God will be tested as she makes her way to Quebec. Will she remain a Saint in the face of impossible odds? Or commit grave sins for the sake of survival?

Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina)
A young hunter-gatherer from an isolated Innu community, Maikan is the great-grandson of a medicine man, and has never known what life was before the arrival of white men. After discovering a sinister phenomenon that threatens the future of his people, he sets off on a journey west, hoping to uncover the mystery behind the land’s defilement. Tradition will guide his path through unfamiliar wilderness. But nothing can prepare him for first contact with the outsiders.

Will you dare to experience this thrilling and enthralling mystery?
