I’ve never used that line, but that is in fact precisely what happened to Talorel, the main character of Heaven’s Hope, a 2.5D point and click adventure game from Mosaic Mask Studio. He is an angel in training, close to becoming the real thing. However, when he is struck by an unknown flying object while he is nearing the final exam in the stunt flying academy, he crashes onto 19th century Earth near the town of Heaven’s Hope. The game follows Talorel’s story as he attempts to return to Heaven in time for his final exam."
If you're hoping to have a little slice of Heaven with this game, prepare to be disappointed. It's a pretty-looking game, but that's about all it has going for it. Jerky animation, a tedious plot, and dull characters will make you want to leave the small English village almost as soon as you arrive.

What is with adventure games and their obsession with lovable idiot Guybrush Threepwood-esque characters? Yes, Monkey Island is seen by many as the pinnacle of the genre, but that should not mean that every game must follow it down this over-beaten path. In Heaven’s Hope, an adventure game from German developers Mosaic Mask studios, you find yourself guiding fallen angel (more of a literal plummet than a biblical evil sense) Talorel back to heaven. Unfortunately in the fall his wings have been destroyed and his halo lost, making the task at hand that much more difficult.
