As Dusk Falls
Developed by: Interior Night

As Dusk Falls was a frustrating, but engaging and entertaining experience. A “choose your own adventure” style game similar to Telltale’s The Walking Dead or Quantic Dream’s Detroit Become Human, As Dusk Falls has many branching storylines and is filled with little moments that will effect the way you view a character or their character development. As Dusk Falls has decent voice acting, some well written and not so well written characters and great art design. The game isn’t revolutionary in any way and your enjoyment of the game will 100% will rely on your investment in the characters and the over arching storyline.
While I enjoyed my time with As Dusk Falls as a completionist towards the end I started to wish that the developers had put in a “speed up dialogue” button in the game. Having to rewatch scenes over and over again to pick a different outcome felt tedious and not enjoyable.
With that being said I still enjoyed my time with As Dusk Falls and would recommend this game to anyone that’s a fan of Telltale or Quantic Dream, or Dontnod style of games. I played As Dusk Falls via Xbox GamePass on Xbox Series X.
Pros:
The narrative
Graphics and the art design
Depth of branching storylines that encourage replayabliity
Cons:
Some voice acting is subpar
Occasional lag and unstable frame-rate
Played on: Xbox Series X via Xbox Game Pass
Review score: 3.5/5
