A brand-new, highly interactive drama, in As Dusk Falls, every single secret found within will have a price. It’s up to you to explore those secrets, driving the lives and relationships of the cast as you go.
Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S (fully optimised) and PC (Steam or Windows) (either for a cash outlay or via Game Pass), As Dusk Falls comes out of the INTERIOR/NIGHT studio. Now, you may not have heard of these guys before, but when you consider that this is a team put together by ex-Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls lead Caroline Marchal, you can be sure that the quality that comes will be of the very highest quality.Â
That’s the hope with As Dusk Falls as that INTERIOR/NIGHT team whisks us off to small town Arizona; 1998 in fact. It’s here where we’ll get the opportunity to take in the lives of a couple of families, as the timeline spreads some thirty years, kicking off with a robbery-gone-wrong. From there, the choices you make will dictate how As Dusk Falls plays out, and how the lives of those found within will take hold. It’s so interesting that As Dusk Falls easily found a place in our Up Next article for July, as we detailed the most exciting Xbox games for the month.
In As Dusk Falls, every family will have secrets, and every single one of those secrets will have a price. It’ll be your decision making that will decide how the tangle of these stories play out, with As Dusk Falls coming across as an uncompromising crime drama, full of interwoven destinies.
