An interactive movie that tells a memorable story of human choices - our review of As Dusk Falls:

Releases 19th July on Xbox Series S/X and PC for £25. Included with Game Pass

As Dusk Falls takes this a step further by letting onlookers directly join the game with a controller or, via a companion app, with phones/tablets, and selecting what they think characters should do. The most popular choice wins. There's even Twitch support allowing viewers to do similar. I didn't get a chance to test the game with friends but I did play it via the companion app and it controlled fine. The app turns the phone into a giant touchpad, effectively.

What's so clever about this is it does away with all of the laborious, time-consuming and expensive animation work usually involved in making a game like this. There's no need to lip-sync, which has the happy side-effect of making the game very easy to localise in other languages . It means the game is easier on hardware, too, running fine in 4K on Xbox Series S for me.

Broadly, the story follows two families who collide in a motel in small-town - tiny-town - Arizona. One is a family with a small child and old grandparent, on their way to a new home, and one is a family with a more troubled make-up. But what initially seems like a contained confrontation soon balloons into something much bigger that will spread over a larger area and many, many years.

The game takes on some heavy topics, and that's partly why it stands out as a sophisticated dramatic experience. Everything is handled with care and, as you can see, plenty of trigger warning.
