Xbox Game Pass Day One Title: As Dusk Falls
In short,As Dusk Fallsis an interactive drama about two families across thirty years. The interactive drama part means there are tons of choices, where players can expect different outcomes for the various characters involved. It has a unique graphic delivery style, as seen in the above trailer, and is perhaps more “cinematic” than otherchoice-heavy games likeLife is Strange: True Colors. After all, Interior Night describes it like a motion-based graphic novel.
The game begins in 1988 with a robbery in Arizona that goes horribly wrong, and the impact stretches three decades of “betrayal, sacrifice, and resilience,” according to developer Interior Night. The story sounds intriguing, and combined with the various choices and characters,As Dusk Fallspromises a high replay value, as players can explore how various decisions impact each character and their development over this extended period of time.
Such choices include how characters deal with theirtoxic families inAs Dusk Falls, what certain characters would sacrifice for loved ones, how their past comes back to haunt them, and so on. Each decision doesn’t just impact one character, but can impact both of the involved families as they recover/move on/deal with the generational curses of their family’s mistakes.
Perhaps the most intriguing feature is that this interactive drama can be experienced by more than one player, as players can doco-op inAs Dusk Fallswith up to 8 playersacross a variety of devices, each person capable of casting their own votes. All in all, it sounds like an interactive group movie night, and with such a plot, it could be a good time with friends or solo.
