That's right - the game is now completely free for everyone!
It's been 6 years since we released All Walls Must Fall, and we've decided that we'd love if everyone who always wanted to play but never quite got around to buying it has the opportunity. So it's now totally free on Steam and itch.io!
We hope you enjoy playing our tech-noir tactics game that we made. We put a lot of our hearts into it, and while we've all moved on to other projects now, that time we made our own little indie game will always be special to us.
Love from Berlin,
Isaac, David and Rafal

Today's update fixes an issue on the newest version of Windows 11, where the game wouldn't start at all!
Unfortunately going back in time to previous versions of Windows is not really an option, so instead All Walls Must Fall has been updated to the newest version of Unreal 4 so that it can be enjoyed on newer devices once again.
If you have any problems with this version, please post here! You can revert back to the old build by selecting the "oldVersion" steam beta branch in the game's library properties.
Due to contractual reasons, inbetweengames will stop selling the All Walls Must Fall Original Soundtrack on Steam, on November 1st. If you haven't purchased it yet, now's the time! Once sales end, existing owners will of course still keep it in their Steam library permanantly.

It’s been 8 months since we shipped All Walls Must Fall, and in that time one of the most requested features has been for a way to keep playing the game after you finish the Campaign, and to continue with all your unlocked gear. It could be a bit of a disappointment to unlock your favourite new weapon or ability, only for there to be just one mission where you could use it on. That’s the case no longer - you can continue fighting and flirting your way through the clubs of Berlin 2089 again and again - forever if you want to!
Here’s how it works:
As well as this new feature, there are a few small fixes and improvements, like the ability to reset your controls to the defaults - you can read the full list of changes here.
One of the most commonly requested features since we launched All Walls Must Fall earlier this year is a way to keep playing after you finish a campaign, to keep the challenge going and continue to use your gear - and keep upgrading it. Today we're launching an Early Access test
One of the most commonly requested features since we launched All Walls Must Fall earlier this year is a way to keep playing after you finish a campaign, to keep the challenge going and continue to use your gear - and keep upgrading it. Today we're launching an Early Access test for a NEW GAME + mode that allows exactly that.
In NEW GAME + there are some changes:
Normally, to start a NEW GAME + campaign, you'd need to finish a normal campaign first. Then, the Continue Game button will become a NEW GAME + button. However, for this test, we've added a "Convert to to NEW GAME+" button that will be available if you have a campaign in progress. You should see this in the main menu - if not, start a new campaign, then return to the main menu. You'll get some extra cash to spend to get Kai up and ready for the new challenge.
To try out this build (Windows only for now), follow these steps:
We expect to keep NEW GAME + in Early Access for 1-2 months. During this time we'll be updating the build with balance tweaks based on your feedback, as well as fixing some of the issues that we didn't manage to squash yet. Let us know what you think on the forums!

It’s been a month since All Walls Must Fall hit Version 1.0 and CAME OUT of early access, and today we have another update for the game! The main focus has been on bugs and performance, but we also have a few new features to announce! The full release notes are here for all the details, but let’s get into the exciting stuff!
First up, the game is now available in Brazilian Portuguese!
muuutsch’s latest track Last Minutes is now playing in the clubs, in-game! Have a listen on soundcloud.
The soundtrack is also now available on Spotify, itunes and all good streaming sites!
We’ve added bathrooms to the game! How did we manage to go this long without them?
We’ve added some character variation to the clubbers, as well as some of the dialogue NPCs!
We’ve added some new, better fitting furniture to the labrooms that appear in some clubs, and tweaked their layouts a little!
Different enemies now shoot projectiles that match their visual style, to help you work out which projectile came from where. We’ve updated Kai’s weapon effect a bit too - now including muzzle flash!
We’ve spent some time making some small balance tweaks, fixing bugs, polishing visuals, and improving performance, in particular in the later missions in larger clubs. The biggest thing here is that the Drop camera should no longer point at walls! Check out the full release notes for all the details.

Bullets tear across a sweating dancefloor, heaving with bodies. Flashes of metal and flesh, lights pulsing and skittering across glistening bodies. All Walls Must Fall’s nightclub shoot-outs are a devilish dream, capturing at once the brilliance of Terminator’s Tech Noir horror and the actual punk in cyberpunk. I just wish there was more to the game than a thousand murders on the dancefloor.

The blizzards of Siberia have gone on holiday to the United Kingdom this week. But the RPS podcast, the Electronic Wireless Show, doesn t do snow days. The pod squad have trekked hard through the whiteout (from their bedrooms to their computers) to gather on their respective microphones. To what end? Well, to talk about the weather. Blizzards, thunderclouds, sandstorms and, er, night-time? In videogames, it all counts.

It was Superhot that first made me think about the old writer's adage, that you do the slow stuff fast and the fast stuff slow. This is the thinking that powers Jack Reacher novels, for example - Lee Child talks about this trick often and with great clarity. If Reacher's doing a bunch of research, you whip through it in a couple of lines. Literary montage! If Reacher's outside a bar, though, and a horseshoe of bad'uns is forming around him, time slows until it forms a thick mineral goop that traps everyone within it. The next few seconds are going to involve the shattering of kneecaps and the bruising of aortas (if aortas are a thing that can be bruised - having typed it, I am unconvinced). The next few seconds are going to be violent and memorable. Crucially, the next few seconds are going to take eight or nine pages to play out, because every move will be examined in great forensic detail. We will count the separate sparks in the air, and be deafened by the clatter of a spent cartridge case rattling on the tarmac. We will be fully present and fully conscious in these terrible, glorious moments.
Is Superhot turn-based? Not really, but it's a unique kind of meter, certainly - the work of a ludic Dave Brubeck. It is strange, given the unprecedented control over the variables that make up the universe they afford, that many games are so uninterested in time. Sure, they shatter it into loops with the death and save systems. They may also slow it, Reacher-like, when the guns come out. But genuine inventions, such as Superhot's world in which time only moves when you do? These genuine inventions are quite rare.
I've been thinking of all this these past few weeks as I've been playing, by sheer coincidence, through a range of rather brilliant turn-based tactic games, some of which have come out and some of which are yet to be released. Turn-based tactic games are hardly inventive by this point, but they definitely force you to think about time, about how it is broken up, and about what happens when you can pause it and step outside of it and really ponder your actions. Specifically, the games I've been playing have made me think about the way that time affects storytelling, and I think I'm ready to present my findings. Turn-based games, I suspect, are uniquely suited to generating incredible stories. They are more cinematic in the narrative sense than the games that we lazily refer to as being cinematic. And I think this is because of time.

We’ve covered All Walls Must Fall quite a bit over the past few months, and it’s easy to understand why. Starting out veiled in mystery, this bizarre cyberpunk music-synced fusion of tactical gunfights and conversational infiltration does a lot to stand out. It has evolved to a surprising degree during its time in Early Access, with developers Inbetweengames bolting on major new features with practiced confidence.
Befitting the name, All Walls Must Fall has burst forth from its confines and into the dazzling moonlight, fresh from the dance-floor and ready to launch. Within, we’ve got the cheekily named ‘coming out’ launch trailer. While earlier marketing may have coyly weaved around the central environment type of the game (gay nightclubs heaving with scantily clad men), this one goes all-in, leaving very little to the imagination.
Today we’ve launched version 1.0 of All Walls Must Fall! You can check out the COMING OUT trailer here: If you haven’t played the game yet, now’s the time! We’ve spent the last month polishing the look and feel of the game, including adding the final in-game backer rewards, Party
Today we’ve launched version 1.0 of All Walls Must Fall!
You can check out the COMING OUT trailer here:
https://youtu.be/2Zc77HwYflI
If you haven’t played the game yet, now’s the time! We’ve spent the last month polishing the look and feel of the game, including adding the final in-game backer rewards, Party Posters and Drinks. We’d like to thank all our Backers for your support - without you, we’d have never made it this far!
We’re also very honoured that Eurogamer has given the game a Recommended rating! Check out the review here, or keep reading to see what’s new in this update:
We’ve improved the pacing and look of the sections of the game that take place on the Bridge of Spies between missions, and added some more content to the two endings. Our very own muuutsch has also put together some new music for these sections which really enhance the mood. There’s even a different track for each ending, so try and get both for the full experience!
We’ve also added muuutsch’s track The Last Stop to the credits that play after you finish the game. All this new music is already added to the soundtrack download, and you can also listen to The Last Stop on bandcamp
A big focus this month has been polishing up the look and feel of the clubs. The way we’ve done this is by adding different “themes” to the game, which match the party that’s happening there. These change the colours of the lighting, as well as the fog (now there’s fog!), and neon highlights on some objects. We think this gives each club a distinct feel, and improves the look of them in general.
We’ve also added more decorative objects to the club, such as trash on the ground and objects on the walls, as well as variations of things like the bar furniture and wall lamps.
The HUD has had an overhaul to make it a bit cleaner and crisper, as well as adding missing icons in a few places. The biggest changes are a much better looking combat mode HUD as well as improved health bar-circles for NPCs.
The party posters chosen by our Kickstarter backers are now in game and featured as posters throughout the clubs. You may also find them on leaflets while rummaging around in ashtrays!
The cocktails chosen by our Kickstarter backers are also in game, featured as holograms in the Bars! You can order one by interacting with the hologram and add them to your collection!
Last but certainly not least, we’ve spent a lot of time this month on improving the performance of the game, especially in the later, larger clubs, as well as fixing a few bugs and improving some gameplay issues (you can now see when you’ve failed an objective!). You can see the full patch notes here. But there’s still more work to be done on that front - and that will be our biggest focus for next month’s update, as well as fulfilling the remaining digital Kickstarter rewards.
Thanks once more to everyone who’s supported us during the Kickstarter, Closed Alpha and Early Access! We’re really lucky to have such a great community and we’re so happy to have shipped our first indie game! Spread the word to your friends - the game’s on 30% for a week so there’s never been a better time to play!

I have heard All Walls Must Fall described as a blend of real-time and turn-based tactical action, set in a retro-futuristic Berlin in which the Cold War never ended and where all matters of consequence unfold in the procedurally-generated nightclubs favoured by gay time-travelling superspies. Deep breath. Influences cover everything from Twelve Monkeys and X-Com to Invisible Inc, Superhot and - when it comes to the wonderfully grungy animation that chops together 2D character models and low-poly 3D backgrounds - the old Paddington Bear children's series that was so memorably narrated by Michael Hordern. It all sounds a bit complicated really. But it isn't. When you get into a fight here, All Walls Must Fall is gloriously, deliriously, skull-shakingly straightforward.
Gunfights are when All Walls Must Fall switches from behaving like a real-time nightclub exploration game (one of my favourite genres) and becomes a turn-based, grid-based tactical battler (which happens, rather neatly, to be my other favourite genre). You play as a hulking metal-armed killer who has been sent looping back through time within a single night so as to stop a bomb going off in the present. This means that time is as much his plaything in shootouts as space is. In fact, when you're exploring in the real-time mode, time is space. Each room you scout out rewards you with a few units of time resource that allow you to do all sorts of rewind-based shenanigans when the guns emerge. Time is space! Einstein would be proud. I bet he'd be well up for some futuristic clubbing, too.
Oh dear. I've made it sound very complicated again. It really isn't. Once the guns emerge a grid is imposed on the landscape and enemy targets are picked out with bright highlights. You can shoot them - weapons frequently have a couple of distinct attack modes - and you can dash around from one square to the next dodging incoming fire. The system's sufficiently kind so as to warn you when you're planning on moving into a square that means you'll be taking damage. The perks of a time-traveller, I guess.
