About Song of Twilight
Song of Twilight is a narrative-driven horror adventure developed by DSNK. Released in 2026 for PC, it casts players as one of two sisters trapped in a nightmarish realm ruled by a deranged figure called "Father". The game blends exploration, puzzle-solving, and stealth as you navigate twisted environments to escape. Set in a surreal world filled with grotesque imagery and psychological tension, it emphasizes player choice through dialogue and actions that lead to multiple endings. With a focus on atmospheric storytelling and branching narratives, it targets fans of eerie, story-rich experiences. The game’s single-player format and indie pedigree make it a bold, unsettling entry in the adventure genre.
Gameplay
You alternate between the two sisters, each with distinct abilities. The older sister climbs and manipulates objects, while the younger uses a lantern to reveal hidden paths and repel enemies. Exploration is slow and deliberate, with puzzles often requiring environmental observation. Stealth is crucial: "Father"’s patrols demand precise timing to avoid detection. Combat is minimal but tense, relying on quick-time events and resourceful evasion. The game’s branching dialogue and item choices influence relationships and outcomes, though some decisions feel more impactful than others. Sessions often involve backtracking through shifting environments, with a control scheme that prioritizes simplicity over responsiveness. The pace can drag during exposition-heavy segments, but the eerie atmosphere and sudden horror moments keep tension high.
What Players Think
Song of Twilight holds an 8.5/10 critic score but splits players. Community ratings average 4.2/5, with 72% completing the main story and 38% achieving 100% completion. Average playtime is 12 hours, though some spend up to 20+ chasing all endings. Moods are split: 58% "unsettling", 25% "frustrated", and 12% "impressed". Reviewers praise the "haunting visuals" and "branching narrative depth" but critique "spiky difficulty" and "slow pacing". One user called it "a chilling experience with too many dead ends", while another lauded its "emotional core". Achievement completion rates are moderate (61% average), with hidden endings requiring replayability. The game’s $29.99 price point draws mixed reactions, with some calling it "overpriced for its length".
PlayPile's Take
Song of Twilight is a polarizing but memorable horror adventure. It excels in atmosphere and narrative ambition but struggles with pacing and polish. Fans of psychological horror and branching stories will appreciate its depth, while those seeking action or tighter design may find it frustrating. At $29.99, it’s a mid-tier buy for dedicated players willing to invest time. The 23 achievements and multiple endings add replay value, though completion isn’t essential. Skip if you dislike slow exploration or repetitive stealth. For those who enjoy figuring out twisted narratives, it’s a worthwhile, if flawed, journey into madness.
