The Incident is a fast-paced, retro-style game. Its hero is one Frank Solway, an ordinary guy whose life becomes a frantic adventure when he tries to hail a downtown cab one morning. His world gets turned upside down and shaken loose – quite literally – as seemingly everything in the world starts to rain down from the skies. Frank does his best to avoid this deadly shower of stuff and climb the growing pile towards the source of it all.
