‘As Dusk Falls’ review: A sluggish small-town soap opera
As Dusk Falls is an ambitious narrative adventure game that fails to execute its grandest ideas, hemorrhaging tension along the way. It attempts to tell a mature, action-packed story about family and loss, but repeated missteps in logic and emotion strip the story of its power.
