The interactive crime drama set in the escalating night in the Arizona desert is currently available on the PlayStation Store for a significantly reduced price.
One night is enough to confuse the lives of several people. Here are the sets “When Dusk Falls” an: After a failed attack, two families cross paths, whose stories remain intertwined decades later.
A narrative adventure tells the story from multiple perspectives and focuses heavily on the characters and their decisions. Each choice can affect subsequent events – sometimes immediately, sometimes many years later. However, if you’re expecting a classic puzzle or action adventure, you’re wrong. The tension comes primarily from the characters and their conflicts. You won’t find any obvious heroes or villains here.
As Dusk Falls is cheaper than ever on PS5 and PS4
Instead of charging 29.99 euros PlayStation-Store at the moment the standard version costs only 8.99 euros. The price drops by 70 percent. The bottom line is that you still have 21 euros left in your wallet. However, the promotion will only last until July 16, 12:59. PS Plus members can save this amount. The game is also in the additional catalog.
The international trade press rated it “Twilight is Coming.” 77 points on Metacritic.. With a score of 7.7 out of 10, players agree. And the reviews on the PlayStation Store are also convincing: awarded 4.33 PSN stars out of 5 possible.
The dialogue and voice actors deserve special praise. The extensive decision-making system also left a positive impression, as it allows for multiple options and encourages further iteration. In addition, many decisions have noticeable consequences. However, there is criticism of the second half of the story, which loses some of its momentum. The ending also did not convince all testers. The controls also take some getting used to.
The most striking feature is that shared decision making system. Up to eight players vote simultaneously, either through a controller or a smartphone app. Disagreements are resolved democratically. This leads to heated discussions as everyone has a different idea of how Vince should save his family. Opinions often differ greatly, especially in morally gray areas, meaning that each round of the game plays out differently.
Visually, “As Dusk Falls” takes an unusual route. The scenes consist of hand-drawn images, reminiscent of image tiles in a graphic novel. Although the environment is presented in three dimensions, the characters appear as static illustrations. This style isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it gives the game its own character.
Other great deals on PlayStation Store:
Fans of interactive dramas like Heavy Rain or Tell Me Why will find one of the genre’s greatest exponents here. Anyone who appreciates authentically written characters and big decisions can now get an unusual story-driven adventure with plenty of cross-course options for €8.99.
