Softonic review

A new version of the cult classic

Alone in the Dark is a pay-to-play survival horror that reimagines the long-established game of the same name. In this version of the game, you will play either Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood and go on a thrilling adventure and uncover the uneasy truth of Derceto Manor.

You will embark on your journey to the manor following the disappearance of Emily’s uncle. Alone in the Dark will have you facing your fears as you encounter strange residents, nightmarish realms, and dangerous monsters and ultimately uncover an evil plot. Experience a haunting story through the original thriller in this reimagined version.

Immerse yourself in the world of horror

Alone in the Dark returns to the roots of psychological horror of the ground-breaking original as it takes you on an atmospheric journey filled with engaging nightmares. While many of its elements like the characters, places, themes, and overall story are the same as its predecessor, you won’t need knowledge of the original to understand and enjoy it. Enough context is given in this adaptation.

As mentioned, the game is set in the Derceto Manor. This property is home for people with mental disorders, where something more sinister is lurking. The environmental design sets the ambiance and makes it feel like the nightmare is there, hiding in the shadows. To further drive the feel of horror, the game also features a haunting yet mesmerizing doom jazz soundtrack that is sure to make your skin crawl.

The game will stir up excitement among horror fans, though there are a few things to keep in mind before playing it. Since the players will be fighting against monsters using weapons, there will be displays of violence toward non-human characters. However, there will be no excessive gore or dismemberment. Another thing to consider is the game’s sensitive themes such as suicide and depression that may be triggering for some.

Experience a nostalgia-induced fright

Whether you are a loyal fan, a horror junkie, or someone who's looking for a thrilling game to play, Alone in the Dark is a highly recommended title to immerse yourself in. It stays faithful to the elements that made the original version enthralling. From the feel of psychological horror to the overall ambiance, this game has it all. Just keep in mind the themes depicted in the game.
