As Dusk Falls is a choose-your-own-adventure story drama, so once players finish playing through one potential story, there is plenty to revisit.
Once players complete their first playthrough of the interactive story drama As Dusk Falls, there is plenty to do that warrants multiple playthroughs. As Dusk Falls functions like a TV show where players have a role in how the story plays out. Each decision that players make has consequences for the characters in the game, so players may not get an ending they are happy with on the first playthrough. Additionally, this game can be played single-player or with As Dusk Falls’ multiplayer co-op, providing more reasons to come back for more story once players beat the game for the first time.
Part of the charm of games like As Dusk Falls is the character development. Over the years, story-driven games have become more popular, beginning with earlier titles like The Walking Dead. Whether fans love or hate the main story, character- and choice-driven games have become more popular with time. As Dusk Falls belongs with other games in this genre. As players follow around the Walker family and Holt brothers, they can make crucial decisions that affect gameplay; some characters will survive, and others may not. As Dusk Falls, like the recent game The Quarry, can be replayed to get different endings.
After beating As Dusk Falls, players can opt to replay for different endings and try to collect all 50 achievements. Some of the game achievements happen depending on the choices players make in the game, so if players want to get all of the achievements, they will need to play through the game multiple times.
There are many character endings in As Dusk Falls and they revolve around the Walkers and Holts, the two families who converge on the Desert Diner Motel. If players want to revisit the game after beating it, or are trying to earn all of the achievements, they will need to make different choices throughout the game to earn different endings. For example, there are several endings for Jay depending on how players do during the quick time events, and whether or not they have Zoe forgive him. Players can also choose whether or not Vince and Michelle stay married.
Since there are 50 achievements in the game, players who like to 100% games will have a lot to do once they beat As Dusk Falls for the first time. Some of the achievements will be unlocked by simply playing the game, but others will require making different decisions that cannot be done in one playthrough.
Finally, since As Dusk Falls was released as cross-platform multiplayer co-op, players can choose to revisit the game with friends. This will make it easier to remember and complete certain puzzles, like the one in the beginning when Jay loses the As Dusk Falls safe code in his pocket; if players split up the job of remembering the codes to certain puzzles, it will change how the story plays out.
As Dusk Falls is available for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
