As Dusk Falls

It starts when the trajectories of two families collide in the Arizona desert.

One is the Walker family: the couple Vince and Michelle, their daughter Zoe and Vince's father Jim are moving from California to Missouri in the Midwest.

Through a chance encounter, a car accident, they cross the path of the Holt family: the three brothers Tyler, Dale and Jay who are on their way to rob the local sheriff Dante Romero.

From that setup a branching storyline is developed through the player's decisions, with no fail states.

The game consists of six chapters, divided over two 'books': Collision and Expansion .

The game largely plays out as a visual novel.

The story is told through cinematic scenes and every now and then player interaction is possible.

Filmed with real actors, the game uses a photoreal comic strip art style.

Rather than full animations, a key frame technique is used where still images or small animations are quickly chained together fading into each other, adding to the effect of a comic book.

At key moments a decision needs to be made.

There are usually multiple actions to choose from and a timer counts down.

Sometimes additional options to choose from appear after a few seconds.

At most times a neutral option or not making a decision is not possible, and an option is chosen automatically if time runs out.

There are different choices: small ones that influence relationships between the characters, choices that change the story entirely, choices that lead to a death and the most important ones are called crossroads where the story permanently branches into a specific timeline.

Crosscroad decision are clearly announced with a warning during gameplay.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For As Dusk Falls, loose is €57.94 and CIB is €21.08 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
