Published on 06/13/2022 at 09:01
Announced in July 2020, As Dusk Falls is the first project from Interior/Night studio founded by former Quantic Dream and Sony employees. For a while we didn’t have any news about this title, but the Xbox Bethesda conference has just brought it back to the fore and the least we can say is that its narration and its subject are announce like a breath of fresh air.
In this story dealing with family relationships, resilience and sacrifice, the player will have the fate of several characters in their hands, each with their flaws, aspirations and daily life. In development for eight years, the work of the team of Caroline Marchal, CEO and Creative Director at Interior/Night aims to unite players from all walks of life around a single adventure. Obviously, the narrative game requires, it will be a question of choices and modular events, in the vein of the productions of Quantic Dream or, more recently, of a title like The Quarry.
Bringing a virtual world to life
To create the world ofAs Dusk Falls the developers brought in professional actresses and actors and put together an amazing art direction. It all started in 1998 in a small town in Arizona. A heist goes awry and the player finds himself in the middle of a family dispute involving not one, but two families. It will thus be necessary to manage the temperaments of each individual and to make difficult decisions, torn between survival and the protection of loved ones. As Dusk Fall promises to be a refreshing experience that has the good idea of being playable up to 8 in cooperation! Indeed, all you have to do is use your phone or tablet (with a dedicated application) to vote with or against your friends.
With its amazing universe and multiple conclusions, As Dusk Fall arrives in a very short time since it is expected on July 16 on Xbox Series X, Steam and Windows PC. And like most of the games presented at the conference, it will be available on Xbox Game Pass as soon as it is released!
