Stage 1 – Complete all 6 Chapters.


Welcome to this trophy guide for As Dusk Falls an interactive drama from INTERIOR/NIGHT that explores the entangled lives of two families across thirty years.
The game is a fantastic narrative-driven game, which can be played however you like thanks to a very generous chapter select which let’s you pick certain points to replay and get other trophies. As a result you can play the game however you like but the “Free Bird” trophy which is unlocked in Chapter 6 would require the most backtracking, so it is advised to play Jay as a passive and not shoot or kill anyone, additionally succeed in hot-wiring the car in Chapter 5 and leave for Canada on your own in order to meet the forest ranger instead of having the police chase you.

Stage 2 – Cleanup.


Once you completed the game it is now time to go back and clean up the trophies you missed. It is recommended to use the game’s explore feature which allows you to replay scenes and take different routes without overwriting your game or an alternative save on a different save slot.
