    A good game, I liked the plot, kept it in suspense all the time and it was interesting to follow the development of events, sometimes the sound was buggy, but this is a trifle.

    Nice art style, good acting and OST and overall the best thing for me is that is very well paced.
    In most similar titles (Telltale's games, Life is strange, etc.) the choices and situations most of the time seem forced and irrelevant (or at least presented in a clunky way). As Dusk Falls managed to get me scene to scene engaged with the characters and the issues at hand.

    The compelling storyline entertains across the multiple choice drama filled moments. Not sure the art direction was the best choice but it serves its function. The playtime was perfect - not too long to short and the voice talent and soundtrack are excellent here. I think of it just had a more compelling art style I might have upped my score a notch or two.

I really hope it gets a sequel and would love to see them work with Xbox/Game Pass again.

    If you like these interactive story telling, narrative first games then I think you’ll enjoy this as much as I have. If that’s not your cup of tea then I doubt this would transcend the genre enough to make you a fan of it.

    10/10 for me. Interior Night is definitely a studio to watch. Great job guys!!    … Expand

    In honesty, I’d give the game/movie an 8/10. But too many people are in their feelings because it doesn’t cater to their ADHD need constant action brains. Good dramas take time to unfold. If you think the game is boring, it’s because you are boring, dog.

    As dusk falls is excellent in it’s storytelling and believable characters. Wrapped in a clear graphical style that works very well once you get used to it and a timeline that isn't chronological makes this story compelling right to the end. In fact, the final piece gives you food for thought and makes me long for an extension of the story.

    Pros:
    - Story
    - Voice acting
    - Art style
    - Many story paths/different outcomes
    - Replay value

    Cons:
    - There are some moments, altough not much, were the game is not giving the player a choice while expected to be.    … Expand

    Excelente jogo, não esperava que o jogo fosse tão bom assim, a narrativa é intrigante e prede o jogador a todo momento, um jogo em que suas escolhas realmente tem um peso. Para quem gosta de jogos de história como LS e TWD vai adorar esse tenho certeza. Os gráficos em Power point não me desagradaram pelo contrário me prenderam mais a história que estava sendo contada. Recomendo bastante!!!

    Bien entendu, il faut aimer les jeux narratifs, mais si c'est un genre qui ne vous rebute pas, c'est l'un des meilleurs que j'ai fait ces dernières années. Très au dessus des Life is Strange par exemple, ou de pas mal de jeux Taletale.
    Combiné à une bande son excellente et un doublage français de grande qualité, un replay value énorme (on a vraiment envie de refaire le jeu pour voir les autres possibilités) c'est un titre à surtout ne pas manquer.

    My personal experience with As Dusk Falls is fantastic. I understand that after the Motel event, the story slowed down a lot. But It has an awesome story that will catch you from start to end (even if the end is not that fantastic).

I understand that after the Motel event, the story slowed down a lot. But It has an awesome story that will catch you from start to end (even if the end is not that fantastic).

    I would like to describe my experience in 3 parts:

    Story: For this kind of game, the story is almost always slow and you have to spend too many hours and go deep into the plot to really start to enjoy the game but with this one, you will empathize with the characters from the very beginning.

    Gameplay: Magnificent. You always feel that your choose will affect the character and the way they interact with each others. I never felt this kind of feeling with any game before. You have to play it to really understand. I want to share that I was studying very hard that week for my U, but I feel the need to finish the game after I started and when I finished I had to replay the last part to take some choices again in order to get the finale that I wanted. I really want life being like that. hahah just going back to the part that you want and took the choices that You didn't at that time that maybe were better.

    Sound: I played it in Latin american Spanish and It was awesome. I don't know if the English version is good but the Spanish dub was outstanding. And about the music, the main theme is really cool and the sound effects, fantastic.

    In conclusion, this game is something that you have to experience yourself. Please do. I know that this game is not for everyone but at least give it a chance.    … Expand

    Narrative games is all about narrative. Convey emotions, put players in interesting choices, create interesting environments that fits the actions happening during the gameplay. Using that as a criteria, this is a 10/10 game. Awesome and deep narrative, gorgeous and atmospheric environments, fantastic music. Even better if played in multiplayer mode.

The art direction is just wrong, and anyone who says its a choice is lying to themselves. Some of the true live animation cutscenes later in the game are pretty bad and janky, which leads me to believe the art direction is the result of either a small budget, or lack of technical know-how. I would have preferred a telltale artstyle and animations at the least. The story while good for a single playthrough, just left me wanting way more, especially in the second half. The majority of choice and consequences usually lead to the same plot ending, with minor shake ups here and there, (apart from maybe the one major choice in each chapter effecting the ending). Also not a big fan of the jumping back and forth, especially during the first half.

    The story was great, but this choose your own adventure system is not.. its just ok. The execution and design choices of this game is questionable. Why cant i skip dialogue when exploring the story? Why does it feel like some characters arc just ended?, etc etc.

    Decent for a single playthrough, but so much wasted potential.    … Expand

Despite the abundance of games of this genre, especially due to Telltale games, the choice began to be perceived as a linear story that simply develops in a slightly different way. There is a good plot, pleasant music and a logically completed ending. After passing As Dusk Falls, feelings remain that he watched an excellent mini-series. Of course, INTERIOR/NIGHT is still a young studio, but I hope that their next project will continue to develop the ideas of the genre, and As Dusk Falls itself would not be bad to port to mobile devices… Expand

    Looks like guys had a very limited budget. Most of the time you just look at the screen and waiting to make a choice or trigger a quick time event. So it could be called an interactive movie, but that's not a movie that's mostly feel like a comics with a number of pictures changing one another.
    That results very low impressiveness and makes game boring.
    Another issue is controls - they were designed for a PC and controlling a mouse with sticks is the worse adaptation for a console I can imagine.
    What developers call "cooperative mode" - just sucks. Players vote for decisions and share quick time events. In that mode game is even more boring and I'd suggest that's the reason why they made the game comics-style. They sacrificed impressiveness to have so-called coop, which brings even less impressiveness.
    Guys should have invested into the story instead of inventing worse coop ever.
    This game is nowhere close nor to any of the Quantic Dream masterpieces, nor the Life is Strange series and even the Road 96 with it's very limited variability, but very nice atmosphere.    … Expand

If these developers are going to be extremely cheap and lazy to make an actual game, movie or even a walking simulator, then they might as well go all the way. They're literally not impressing anyone with those tiny amount of animations. The story is terrible. It's already bad enough that this multi-trillion dollar company makes a bunch of indie quality games. Now they're selling $30 Microsoft PowerPoint presentations? Not even EA would be that greedy and lazy, and they have a fraction of the money Microsoft has.

    Apparently this game has multiplayer, but why would I care about multiplayer in a game that literally has no gameplay to began with? Even walking simulators like Gone Home has more gameplay than this so-called video game, not to mention that the Gone Home developers charged $10 less than this trash. It's very embarrassing and pathetic that this garbage was published by a division owned by a multi-trillion dollar company. Meanwhile, companies with even less money can give me a superior gaming experience at the same price or cheaper. My Xbox game pass benefits will end in a few days, and I sure won't be missing that horrible service. I will not subscribe until they give me a top notch AAA quality game not named Forza.

    Эта игра представляет собой визуальную книгу историй, а выбор в игре очень напоминает Detroit: Become Human, история принимает очень разные повороты из-за вашего выбора. Оно и неудивительно, ибо дизайнер раньше работал в Quantic Dream.

    Единственно, что мне не понравилось - это сюжет. Он слабый и пытается держаться на одних интригах. Игра пытается каждый раз тебя удивить приёмом - "убийца дворецкий!", но они его используют настолько часто, что никаких эмоций не вызывает от такой банальности . Смелый эксперимент и понравится далеко не каждому, но потенциал для сиквела есть.    … Expand
