What Dusk is
Dusk is an indie game developed by David Szymanski and released in 2018. It was published by New Blood Interactive. It is available on Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity 4.
The premise, in the publisher's words
DUSK reintroduces you to a world where butchery and bloodshed must be mastered if you're to make it to dawn. Inspired by Quake, Blood, Heretic, Hexen, Half-Life and Redneck Rampage, and featuring a soundtrack by metal music mastermind Andrew Hulshult (Brutal DOOM, Rise of the Triad), DUSK unfolds in the eerie backwoods of the American Northeast where, gaining consciousness hanging on a meat hook, you must fight to survive. In three distinct campaign episodes hand-crafted from straight outta the 90’s, players battle through an onslaught of mystical backwater cultists, possessed militants and even darker forces and attempt to discover just what lurks beneath the earth.

What it launched against
Dusk launched on 10 December 2018, within three weeks of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Gris, Battlefield V and Ashen. It reviewed better than all of them. It arrived 5 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Gris, Battlefield V, Ashen.
