Dusk, the definitely an old-school first-person shooter As of 2018, an even older demake gets riffs on classic puzzle games such as Chip’s Challenge and SokobanAnd no, this is not a joke, despite the fact that the first word of its existence fell on April 1.
Twilight ’82 has everything you want from one Dusk game – shotguns, cultists, explosions – except it’s now turned around and takes place at a snail’s pace compared to the breakneck speed of the original game. As such, the demake is less geared towards nervous, Earthquake-Inspired shooting and more about strategic bullet dodging, block pushing and puzzle solving.
In addition, Twilight ’82 comes with a level editor so you can create your own puzzles full of dangers from scratch. Players can then trade these levels by swapping simple text strings. The game will also have Steam Workshop support, allowing for even more sharing and customization.
As mentioned, Dusk creator David Szymanski showed his new puzzle game on April 1 and made everyone believe it was a joke. But no! Here we are a week later and the very real puzzle game is now listed on Steam. That’s the best punch line possible.
Twilight ’82 currently doesn’t have a release date, but Szymanski said it should be ready “in a few months”.
