The Incident
Parent and Kid Reviews
Is It Any Good?
The incident in THE INCIDENT is a sudden rain of random objects from the sky. The hero -- an everyman who just happens to be on the street at the time -- must climb the ever-growing pile of stuff while trying not to get smashed by falling cars, guitars, toasters, and whatnot. The simple gameplay is loads of fun, and there's a lot of entertainment in simply seeing what will come down next. Some items (like famous works of art) are unique and if you happen to get hit by them and lose the game, your disappointment may be lessened knowing you were killed by, say, Van Gogh's "Starry Night." If you can manage to make it all the way up to the source of the incident -- somewhere in space -- you'll even save the world.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
