DLC.” The second playthrough, definitely a bit bloodier, but also different enough at the end to be distinctive.Considering the state of the genre, and the outsized influence that Quantic Dream has had on it recently, Interior/Night has managed to deliver a game of comparable quality in terms of production values and considerably better in terms of plot and character. As Dusk Falls isn’t perfect, but it’s sufficiently well done that players can forgive its minor flaws in the pursuit of the overall experience.“I have PTSD, my folks are divorced, my grandpa’s got dementia, and I live in St. Louis. Yeah, definitely regretting my life choices.”Axel reviewed As Dusk Falls on PC with a review code. As Dusk Falls is also available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X. Delightfully bombastic cinematic story mode Interesting new characters among a roster of classic favorites Character variations add meaningful diversity Comprehensive tutorials explain fundamentals, high-level fighting game concepts, and character specifics very well Towers Of Time are a rewarding and compulsive single-player activity --> Randomization of rewards in the Krypt can be disheartening --> "As Dusk Falls" shows that you can have a great adventure game with multiple paths without being David Cage. Despite a few minor flaws, it's a solid title with good storylines and solid voice work. If you're fed up with Quantic Dream games with pretentious plots and ham-and-cheese acting, this is your palate cleanser. 8/10: Radiant - Axel Recommends About GameLuster's Reviews

As Dusk Falls Sign in to your Game Rant account It's easy to tell what As Dusk Falls is going for at a glance. Between As Dusk Falls' limited animation graphic novel style, and its gritty down-to-earth story, it's clear that it's going for an interactive version of prestige TV. It's a fitting move for Interior/Night. The studio was founded by former Quantic Dream developers, who cut their teeth on cinematic experiences. It makes sense that its first outing would be a smaller-scale version of that. Still, Prestige TV shows can have very variable lengths. They can be self-contained miniseries, like Netflix's The Queen's Gambit, or they can be sprawling stories crossing multiple seasons and series, like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Where does As Dusk Falls land on that spectrum? As Dusk Falls' Length and Chapter List As Dusk Falls is split into six chapters, whose names are listed below: Chapter 1: Desert Dream Chapter 2: Economics 101 Chapter 3: Small Seconds Chapter 4: Shima Chapter 5: Paradise Found Chapter 6: Cascade Each chapter takes about an hour to finish, depending on the choices the player makes and how quickly they make them. A single playthrough will take about 6-7 hours. This number, of course, does not take into account replay value. As Dusk Falls is a choice-based game, and if a player wants to complete the game's flowchart and see every possible permutation of the story, their playtime will triple, going for about 20 hours. Players can

To mouse and keyboard on the PC.So, about that story…The writing is really tight, no question, and that makes As Dusk Falls whip along pretty quickly. Think of your favorite one hour dramatic series and how it just moves from start to finish at a rate that leaves you wanting more while also dismaying you that an hour seems to have suddenly vanished. That’s pretty much how it goes, at least the first time through. But much like a visual novel, seeing the same fixed elements again shortly after your first playthrough tends to engender a sense of disconnection, a sort of mental “autopilot” which occasionally makes you forget which choices you didn’t make the first time around. At the same time, while the writing is tight overall, there’s some moments which seem like the characters have been given a hit of “plot stupidity,” and a couple seem to have it for a number of scenes.“Whether you live or die tonight depends on the whims of the Internet! God help you all.”Naturally, you have to go through again to see what you missed. Thankfully, there is a decision map to help you plot out your next moves, but you find yourself experiencing a weird form of ludonarrative dissonance. It’s as if you’re trying recall, “Were these characters this stupid/obnoxious/irritating the first time I went through?” There will undoubtedly be all manner of guides written about how to get 100% completion for all possible paths, but trying to tease them out at this point feels oddly painful. Having a contextual hint or indicator within the scenarios themselves about potential choices might have helped, though some choices are not always clear about whether you’re making a momentous decision in the story or if you’re just flavoring your character. I would have liked a better understanding within the storyline viewer about which choices help influence which designators of Values and Traits, and what percentage of QTEs you have to “fail” to get a different Play Style designator.All that said, the storylines for As Dusk Falls in general do not have the sort of trite and superficial feel that Quantic Dream has turned out in recent memory. Shocks are genuinely shocking in an almost uniform fashion, not simply for shock value. You find yourself identifying with the viewpoint characters and (with a few exceptions) feel like the secondary characters are pretty well developed. A couple of the scenarios towards the end did have a faded feeling to them, as if the writers panicked about loose ends and tried to make sure they were tied up, with a corresponding sacrifice in heft being the result. Without giving any serious spoilers, my first playthrough reached a fairly good conclusion, all things considered, with a minimal amount of fatalities, though it did kind of feel like the writers (or somebody in the design staff) said, “There’s too much happy ending here. We need to whack somebody! Don’t worry, they’ll just think we’re setting up a sequel and/or

Sign in to your Game Rant account As Dusk Falls is a game that presents players with many choices. A large majority of these choices will have impacts that echo throughout the game and make each playthrough different. In As Dusk Falls, players will take on the role of Vince, a father to a family of four. Players will need to guide Vince and his family through the dangerous first act of As Dusk Falls or risk losing them as the game continues. Vince's family consists of himself, his wife Michelle, his daughter Zoe and his father, Jim. While not actively playing as Michelle, players will still interact with her and make decisions and choices that can greatly affect the outcome of her life. In order for players to get the best ending, they'll need to ensure that all members of Vince's family survive the Desert Dream motel incident and that all of their relationships remain intact. These decisions will be made not only within the Desert Dream but also through Vince's flashbacks with Michelle. How to Save Michelle As Vince's wife, Michelle is put in direct danger whilst the Desert Dream motel is under siege. This means that while playing as Vince, the player will contribute to whether or not Michelle makes it out or not. Michelle can die in the Desert Dream motel if the player opts to run for the door when the police first storm in. This will result in quick-time(QTEs) events where Tyler assaults Vince.

For me, Arizona is home. Yes, it’s got problems. Yes, it’s got obnoxious people I’d just as soon see plunging to the bottom of the Grand Canyon without mechanical assistance. But for all that, it’s got a lot to recommend it. It’s got a character you won’t find elsewhere, even in neighboring states like New Mexico or California. So, when a game comes out that features Arizona in some fashion, I want it to be good. I want to see if that game captures an aspect of that character the same way Breaking Bad captured aspects of New Mexico’s character. Imagine my surprise when As Dusk Falls came across my desk and turned out to do most of what I was hoping for.Combining elements of visual novels and Telltale Games/Quantic Dream-style adventures, As Dusk Falls takes players on a sun-drenched journey through the heart of darkness. Across six chapters, organized into three act “books,” we follow the lives of two families whose chance encounter on Route 66 near the fictional town of Two Rock leads to a night of tragedy that echoes with repercussions for them and those around them for years. Naturally, your choices and your performance at quick time events will alter the course of the story: who lives, who dies, who’s hurt, and how badly the scars remain. At the end of each chapter, you’re given a quick summary of your actions, broken down into three categories of Values, Traits, and Play Style. And when you’ve reached the end of the game, you can explore and replay chapters, seeing what other choices lead to.Visually, As Dusk Falls primarily uses a motion comic style of animation rather than the typical character meshes inside a 3D “set.” The exception to this are short animated sequences involving vehicles; useful for letting players know somebody has left or entered the area, but visually not in tune with the characters. All that said, the visual style is gripping. There’s no question of which character is which. Each area is visually distinct and feels consistent across different camera angles. The UI is appropriately minimalist and contextual. And, for the most part, they captured the general feel of different locales fairly well.“I want to tell you about the time I almost died…”The only complaints visually are in fine details, little things that don’t seem like they should be noticeable. But they’re details which cause a subtle dissonance in the player’s willing suspension of disbelief. The biggest offender: green “running man” exit signs. These are distinctly European and not typically found in the southwestern US, certainly not in the late ’90s. Detroit: Become Human made the same error, and it’s harder to ignore here because it can’t be brushed off as “oh, it’s the future, stop nitpicking.” The only other nitpick is found in scenes in the forests of Northern Arizona. What the player sees are big deciduous forests splashed with color as fall starts to approach. In real life, they’re primarily coniferous, with small
