This game was great UNTIL we got to the very end and you get left on the biggest cliff hanger and there is no second game and no mention of there ever being one. I was very exited for this game and the end made me never want to pick it up again!

It’s been years, but this is still one of my favorite games. Whenever my friends ask me what game they should play, this is always the one I recommend. The unique art style and storytelling left such a strong impression on me that I still think about it even now. But that ending… it didn’t just haunt Zoe, it haunted me too. After all this time, the story is still stuck in my head, and I’m still waiting for answers. …

The first book is excellent, probably the best game in that genre, yes even slightly better than Life Is Strange 2 or Walking Dead Season 1. It's packed with action, the story is amazing. The art style original, the voice acting extremely good (apart from one particular character). Unfortunately everything fall apart in the book 2, the story goes all over the place, it completely drops some important characters from …

When they say that your choices matter in this game, they mean it. It's not a long one, 5-6 hours maybe, but that's precisely why - there are so many outcomes to so many storylines. The visual style works perfectly, the characters are mostly believable, and the story keeps you engaged for the entirety of its duration. Also the main theme song kicks ass! Definitely recommend As Dusk Falls to any fan of the visual …

Fantastic story, ran fine on the Steam Deck despite being listed as unsupported. Fair warning, it ends on a massive cliffhanger :(

There is plnace in game for 3rd book but no actual book. You can't just end story on cliffhanger, either then ran out of money or decided they can instead pack it as complete and make sequel in followiing years instead, neither which is moraly right. Story is good, but starting without closure is pointless. Its like movie who has 1/3 of it missing.

Deedlit in wonder Labyrinth straight up Team Ladybugs best game. As Dusk Falls aka what if Quantic Dream would make a good game (without Cage).

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was expecting a nice story game but it quickly turned into cuck simulator. Vince and Michelle, can't have the "happy" ending unless you are ok w her infidelity Sharon and Paul. Paul can't get his win unless he is a tool for Sharon Jay and Vanessa, the game outright condemns you for defending Vanessa from sexual coercion. IT went from story device to "I think a writer somewhere is trying to tell us something" It's super creepy and gross

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Story I have mixed feelings about the story. I admit it does a fairly good job how certain choices can have long-lasting impacts on many people. Some parts feel well written, but others got me bored or annoyed, where I wished it would end soon. While there are many branching paths, some of them are limited to "left" and "right" choices without a "middle-ground" choice. The amount of flashbacks is also a bit too much for me. Gameplay The gameplay consists only of QTE and making choices. Unlike…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →possibly the BEST choices matter game ever. really a shame that they arent making book 3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't advertise it as a choice based game with a lot of outcomes if they all return back to the main story line every time. Also the main menu theme is incredibly irritating, and Zoe is a complete drama queen.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As Dusk Falls is one of my favorite Telltale style games. This is an epic Fargo-like story and it appears there may not be a continuation, which is a shame. Regardless I recommend picking this up if you like interactive movies.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite coming out after Detroit: Become Human, As Dusk Falls feels like a massive step backward for the genre. INTERIOR/NIGHT made some baffling decisions regarding the user experience: - Terrible Gamepad UX: Instead of mapping choices to the face buttons (which is the industry standard for a reason), you are forced to drag a slow, clunky cursor across the screen. - Kills the Flow: Instead of making split-second decisions and enjoying the "interactive cinema" experience, you’re stuck…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great story, exploring survivors guilt and how a single choice of yours could effect lives of so many people. Really wished the characters had a little bit more depth and values that they stand for or attract towards, alot of them and their actions felt predictable at times. Would have loved playing this game with proper character animations.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Went in expecting to drop it after an hour or two because the premise isn't my typical cup of tea, but the writing is well executed and the choices seem to matter a good bit. Only con for me is that I wish this was animated instead of being a slideshow, but that didn't stop me from seeing it all the way through.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As Dusk Falls is like a show where you make the decisions. If you're into games like Life is Strange or any TellTale title you will most likely enjoy this game too. The voice acting is pretty good and the characters feel believable. I'm looking forward to more games from this developer!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Peak storytelling, but I can't in good faith recommend this game with no end, it just got me frustrated ending with a cliffhanger and a lot of questions without answers...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely fantastic story and many branching paths, I place this one at the same level as the other critically acclaimed narrative-driven games from Telltale Games and Quantic Dream. I can understand the art style is not everyone's cup of tea, but it didn't bother me personally. My only serious gripe with the game is the inability to skip dialogues or fast-forward to easily explore more branching paths for subsequent playthroughs. There is also one plot point left open by the end, though the…

neutral · AI labelView post →2/10 TLDR; The problem with these games is the story is 99.9% of the gameplay. If you don’t think the story is good, you will hate the game. First warning If you’re bothered by “woke” stuff in media, don’t touch this. Made in the UK. Feels like the director was dumping his thoughts and interests straight into the script. The “race mixing” is baked into the premise — two families from different backgrounds get tangled up and stay tangled for decades. Diverse casting, “lived experience” team…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very underrated game in its genre. Each character is revealed in their own way, showing us their experiences, their history, and their reactions to what's happening when they all find themselves in the same boat, and it's incredibly interesting. I mean, you really care about them. There are characters with relatable family problems, as well as "troubled" teenagers who can also resonate with someone's heart. I'd also like to mention the unusual graphics and art style; for me personally, it…

neutral · AI labelView post →3/10 Honestly? The animation was beautiful. But this was not a game that was completed, just released. More over, this was not worth my time. It actually took me several weeks to muster the energy to get through the game. The story? Unfinished. The choices? Some of the worst I’ve ever seen in a choose-your-own-path game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The soundtrack is really great and atmospheric, but that's the only positive I could find in this. The writing feels forced and that's basically all there is to the game itself.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →8,5/10 Barely a game but what an impressive interactive story! As Dusk Falls is very close to the interactive movies genre made in FMV (full motion video). But here, the graphic style is a mix of 3D and drawings. The characters are directly drawn over photos. In my opinion, it's well made. I own several comics made with the same technique and while it mays seem a bit artificial for some people, I think it helps to convey the emotions of the characters. The scenery is animated and in 3D. The two…

We're playing online co-op with our friends and it's a blast. The multiplayer up to 8 players is perfect! Best online multiplayer I've ever played.
positive · AI labelView post →I loved this game. It has great storytelling, I played through repeatedly until I saw every ending. I highly recommend this game if you want a story-driven game with good storytelling behind it. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got really into the story. Then a game breaking bug stopped my progress. The game refuses to recognize when I make a circle with my mouse, so I failed two QTE events when packing up the home. Once I returned to the motel, I got stuck in an endless loop of trying to pick the door lock, because the first action it wants is a circle with the mouse. I was really looking forward to seeing the story through. UPDATE: I was able to work-around this issue by switching to an XBox controller to make…

neutral · AI labelView post →Jesus, this is bad. Some of the worst writing I've ever seen in a game. Immediately after finishing it, the first thing I did was try to find a picture of the dev team, expecting to see an endless wave of blue haired culture warriors. Instead, I found a behind the scenes video where, 14 seconds in, they start talking about the diversity of their team. "We're writing for as many people as possible, to be as inclusive as possible." And honestly, I wasn't surprised. I clocked this horrendous…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good game. Runs perfectly in Linux. This is a lie: "Requires 3rd-Party Account: Xbox LIVE (Supports Linking to Steam Account)" I don't have an account and played the whole game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is a bit shorter than some other choose-your-own-adventure games, i.e. Life is Strange or most Tell Tale games, but it gives more in terms of story branching, making it more valuable to replay and see alternative ways the story can go. I highly recommend if you're interested in seeing all possible outcomes instead of just a single playthrough.

positive · AI labelView post →As a big fan of "Choices Matter" type of games, I loved it. It's intriguing, with unique visuals and a good story.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked, but... 🌊 This is a rather entertaining game in the “decisions with consequences” genre, which I liked overall, but there are a couple of buts, ofc. The unique, slightly watercolor (soapy) graphics will appeal to some. In some places, may not like it when there are quite emotional scenes, and simply cannot read the characters' emotions because there are literally 2-3 fps here. I would also like to note a certain nuance, more of a minor drawback, in one scene where a child was crying.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I honestly don't even know what to write here. This game left me completely speechless. The voice acting, the art, the attention to details, everything is just absolutely incredible in this game. It's not just a 10/10. It deserves an 11/10. And I've only completed the first three chapters.. I wonder what's gonna come next.

I played them on the phone and it nearly felt like playing a native mobile game and especially the latter game was a better experience than on controller.
neutral · AI labelView post →As a huge fan of the genre, I would easily put it in its top tier - along with the likes of The Quarry and Detroit: Become Human. More than decent replayability too, thanks to its multitude of branching paths with interesting outcomes. Strong recommendation for anyone interested in narrative-first games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An unfinished story. The biggest problem is that the game leaves you with a cliffhanger, while throughout the story it keeps hinting that there's more to what happened. Some moments are also overdramatic or just kind of stupid and unrealistic. Personally, most of the story and characters didn't really grab me. As for the gameplay, there are some difficult choices to make, quick-time events, and lots of different outcomes depending on your decisions.
