About Alone in the Dark

✦ AI summary

Explore a haunted Southern Gothic mansion unraveling eldritch horrors and personal trauma through the eyes of either Emily Hartwood or Edward Carnby, armed with scarce ammunition and unraveling sanity. This reimagining of the genre-defining 1992 classic combines psychological dread with next-gen storytelling, featuring award-winning actors Jodie Comer and David Harbour in their first video game roles and a twisted narrative by the writer of SOMA and Amnesia.

Alone in the Dark weaves a chilling tapestry of psychological horror and Southern Gothic charm, reimagining the iconic game that set the benchmark for the genre. We invite you to join us on a journey into madness, where each encounter could be your last. With each step you take closer to unravelling Derceto's mystery, the eyes that watch from the darkness grow hungrier. Every bullet means the difference between survival and an unthinkable end. The next door you unlock could lead to a nightmarish realm offering nothing but slashing claws, grasping tentacles, and frayed sanity. Journey to interbellum Louisiana, where an era of decadence hides a darker tale - of escape from past traumas and an intolerant society, into the waiting grasp of something darker, something that has patiently lurked for impossible eons. This is Alone in the Dark as you've never seen it - a skillfully-woven narrative of Southern Gothic elegance and eldritch madness that pays homage to its legendary origins while taking the next step forward in survival horror storytelling.

This re-envisioned classic invites you to explore an unforgettable single player adventure rich with suspense, frights, and revelations that will test the limits of your imagination.

Featuring Hollywood Talent

Orginal games, NO PROBLEMS, everything works as it should. The ultra modern and amazing remake.... AUDIO CONSTANTLY CUTS OUT, Sound FX stop and start at random, cutscenes are borked, sometimes ya got only audio no visuals for cutscenes, sometimes you've got visuals and only sound fx but no voice lines.... Don't buy this, what a scam.

Don’t buy. It’s just impossible to play a game with so many stutters like this one. Had to ask for a refund

Play on Hard because you want a challenge, game is okay, little tricky due to limited resources, then final boss fight turns into Elden Ring. No thank you. 99% completed but not finishing.

Game is running beautifully on the Steam Machine right out of the box. Story so far is very intriguing, I'm more than invested which is nice. Playing on old school mode as I'm a 90's gamer so puzzles have been challenging in a good way, making me think and discover clues. Gameplay is pretty solid, fighting monsters isn't always easy, especially if you are trapped in long hallways with narrow spacing. Acting is good, Jodie Comer and David Harbour have done a good job portraying Emily Hartwood & Edward Carnby respectively alongside the supporting cast. It's proving to be a fun playthrough and I'm invested enough to run back through it next time as Emily to see if the differences. Will update this review as I get further through, 3 hours isn't enough to give a final verdict.
