Dimension: 5
With a heavy narrative, the game’s dimension is usually about its length and branching. This one's pretty huge, but it's basically an interactive novel.
The Flair: F
As Dusk Falls dares to be unique in its audiovisual style, and it nails it in an outstanding way. The amazing soundtrack and splendid voice acting make it a real treat for both players and spectators.
The Feel: 9
In games like this, the main goal of gameplay is not to get in the way of the storytelling, and As Dusk Falls does this right. However, the gameplay is pretty simplified and not really new – the QTEs are a bit uninspired, and there's not much originality in the dialogues or other mechanics.
The Fuel: C
The story is great with some incredible moments that pull you in and make you feel immersed. The storytelling is brilliant, and the characters are well-written. However, like many games in this genre, sometimes your choices don't really matter as the story converges to the same points. Sometimes it’s well done, but other times it feels forced and unnecessary. Also, playing as a fugitive is starting to feel a bit unoriginal.

Conclusions
As Dusk Falls is a unique graphic adventure game that grabs you the moment you start playing. While it might not surprise you with its predictable QTEs and choice mechanics, it will definitely captivate you with its exquisite audiovisual style and remarkable story full of charismatic characters.
