People behave differently around each character, and they’ll also visit exclusive areas, encouraging players to experience the game twice to see everything. Like the original, Alone in the Dark has two separate campaigns for Emily and Edward, and though the story has the same setup, events unfold in a different manner. Pieces is going all-in on this remake by enlisting actors Jodie Comer ( Killing Eve, Free Guy) and David Harbour ( Violent Night, Stranger Things) to lend their voices and likenesses to Emily and Edward, respectively. Emily is also grappling with a mysterious family affliction known as The Hartwood Curse, and their visit soon spirals into a fight for their sanity and lives. They visit the haunted Decerto countryside hospital, where Jeremy checked himself in after claiming to be plagued by an evil entity called the Dark Man. This new vision of Alone in the Dark largely sticks to the blueprint of the 1992 game. After receiving a disturbing letter from her uncle, Jeremy Hartwood, Emily Hartwood enlists the aid of hardboiled detective Edward Carnby to figure out what happened to him. Alone in the Dark rides the recent wave of survival horror remakes, and a dedicated showcase gave us our first look at how the classic is being rebuilt from the ground up. Last year, developer Pieces Interactive announced its plans to revisit the celebrated first game and reimagine it for a modern audience. Numerous sequels of varying quality followed, but it’s been many years since the series was culturally relevant. It even featured two playable characters with separate scenarios, an idea later adopted by Resident Evil 2. Players explored a haunted building laden with elaborate puzzles and scary monsters, with gameplay emphasizing thoughtful management of scarce resources. Overall: A fantastic trilogy and every game that aspires to be a survival horror game should take its queues from here.Before Resident Evil and Silent Hill, 1992’s Alone in the Dark helped lay the foundation for 3D survival horror before the genre even had a name. Visually it improves, but story and gameplay do seem to suffer a bit a time as this style of control was getting a little stale at the time.
Alone in the Dark 3: Perhaps the weakest of the three games. The only thing in this game that was weaker than the original was the story, but even that was good too. Alone in the Dark 2: Pretty much exactly the same as the first game, but improving on everything. This is truly the Godfather of Survival Horror.
The atmosphere in this game kept you on the edge of your seat almost all the time. But I remember at the time when this was new, this game was scary as hell! Puzzles were hard, yet not impossible to figure out. Time has not been kind as the animation is almost comedic today.
All of them good Alone in the Dark 1: The beginning of it all. Time has not been kind as the The games that gave birth to a genre.
