What players say
After being on my wishlist for years, finally bought this game. Really interesting game, it's not too hard with saves. I recommend giving it a try upd: sometimes these horned motherduckers are creepy af

The style and feel is a bit off-putting and janky to start with, and the first episode is somewhat generic. It gets MUCH BETTER by episode 2, when the maps become weirder and much more creative, and Episode 3 keeps up the quality. Totally worth sticking with it all the way to the end. Finished it in a respectable 7 hours on second-to-hardest difficulty without caring much for secrets.
Dusk is like if Texas chainsaw massacre, jeepers creepers and David Lynch had a baby and you're the quake ranger guy trying kill all these creepy ass monsters trying to kill you. Absolutely in love with this game
