^I don't think this game was ever hyped enough to be considered a bomba.

I was one that when the game was shown at the Xbox Showcase, wasn't drawn to it at all because of the visual novel format. Didn't like it. But then I played it and after about 20-30 minutes, it really started to win me over. I can honestly say I like it and am currently up to Chapter 3. If you have Game Pass, at least give it a shot and see if you feel the same way about it afterwards.
As someone who loves visual novels this game was a huge nope. Hate the art style and nothing about the plot read as remotely interesting. If you can't grab the kind of people who already play these kind of games what audience is it being sold to?
Keep in mind that this list takes a few days to update.If this was true it should be on the most played list right?
I hope at least the devs made their money back with the game pass deal. Always hoping for the best for a studio that tries to be better than being under David Cage.
Was there even any marketing for this game? Honestly, if it wasn't for this site I would have never even heard of this game.
That plus releasing the same day as Stray (which was top selling on Steam) didn't do it any favors either.
Once again, if it's not an action game it is not considered a real game on Era.You ever heard of a genre called visual novels?
Those comments always....
Can we maybe try and make our points without comparing it to Forza? Heh
I'm just not interested in visual novels. I don't want my video games to tell me grounded stories about family drama. If this were on Netflix, I probably still wouldn't watch it - I just don't see the appeal.
Hmmm. I do remember seeing it in the xbox conference, then felt like the game just disappeared until release.Besides being part of an E3 Microsoft conference twice, being part of the Tribeca Festival stream, having a Kinda Funny launch day stream and being pushed by Xbox social media? Yeah. No marketing.
It was shown on the recent Microsoft E3 presentation.. one of the biggest shows of the year. Lol.
Doesn't help it being 70gb for people to even bother giving it a shot. I mean wtf is all that data used on.

Stray on the other hand kept popping up in social media everywhere and in various games discussion i saw.
Weird.
Thankfully more and more people - unlike you - are actually opening their minds to different varieties of game types. Seriously... what a closed minded comment.How many people are going to play PowerPoint simulator in 2022?

its 70 GB on PC (for some reason, I think with the HD textures and such automatically bundled). But yeah. Kinda redonk.Wait WHAT?
How is that possible? Does the entire game consist of uncompressed 8K PNG files? Kojima-tier uncompressed audio for every language? An indisidous psychological ploy to promote XCloud?

Strange, I had never heard of Stray until this week. As Dusk Falls was on my radar from the Xbox conference, but I forgot about it until recently.Hmmm. I do remember seeing it in the xbox conference, then felt like the game just disappeared until release.

This 100%.Saw the sales (or lack thereof) coming a mile away haha…
With that being said though, the whole point of funding this game is so that it didn't need to rely on actual sales to still bring value to the MS ecosystem. I'm sure MS is just fine with it's performance. Pretty much zero marketing $$ spent, and is used to prop up game passes diverse offerings.
🤣🤣you mean to tell me As Dusk Falls doesn't have the same broad appeal for tiktok like an accurate cat game with pretty graphics
Did you watch like any of Sony's PS5 showcases? Feel like it showed up 3 times minimumStrange, I had never heard of Stray until this week. As Dusk Falls was on my radar from the Xbox conference, but I forgot about it until recently.
Honestly believe WOM did most of the heavy lifting for Stray.Compare the marketing for this to that of Stray and you'll see why this is getting so few players. It's a shame cause I really like the look of it, and will be looking to pick it up soon.. but seeing it sell so little makes me feel like there'll be a sale sooner rather than later for it, so I might just wait (sorry devs!)
Hopefully it finds an audience, I love these sort of interactive dramas.

no I don't think it does. I've tested it plenty of times personallyThat's wild. Does the Xbox App and Windows store still hold your storage space prisoner after uninstalling games? Kinda want to try this game eventually and some other stuff on PC game pass, but not enough to throw 70 GB into a potential void. Those horror stories have scared me away for years.
Most PC players won't play free games at Epic (that works better than Xbox app)
