Is As Dusk Falls a horror?
As Dusk Falls is an original interactive drama from INTERIOR/NIGHT that explores the entangled lives of two families across thirty years. This game may contain content not appropriate for all ages, or may not be appropriate for viewing at work. The developers describe the content like this: “As Dusk Falls includes playable situations related to intense violence, family conflict, mental health, suicide, and other mature themes.Despite seeming heavily derivative of old school shooters on the outside, Dusk has an entirely unique atmosphere, personality and sense of humor that is just unlike anything I’ve ever played before. The levels are creepy and ominous, while still feeling very enticing and incredibly metal.In designing Dusk’s levels, Szymanski took cues from John Romero’s level design in both Doom and Quake, emphasizing non-linearity and abstract geometry. The visuals of Dusk were crafted to be evocative of 1990s first-person shooters.
