Quote

Return to Derceto Manor in this reimagination of Alone in the Dark, a love letter to the 90’s cult classic horror game.

 

Deep in the 1920’s south, Emily Hartwood’s uncle has gone missing. Together with private investigator Edward Carnby, she embarks on a journey to Derceto Manor to uncover the secrets of this mysterious place and the circumstances of her relative’s vanishing.

 

Encounter strange residents, nightmarish realms, dangerous monsters and ultimately unveil a plot of rising evil. At the intersection of reality, mystery, and insanity, an adventure waits that will challenge your core beliefs. Who can you trust, what will you believe, and what will you do next? 

 

Alone in the Dark is coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Didn't look good at all imo.

It looks good to me, I’m a big survival horror fan. They seem to be doing what Resident Evil 2 did by offering two separate character campaigns that intertwine with each other. I look forward to playing it when I get a PS5.

Embracer group has really proven they horded all these IPs to make a showcase of a bunch of B games that no one will buy.

Can't wait to play it in 2028.

Could work.

I thought about going back and editing in, "except Phasenox"

 

On the other hand, a lot of these games are up for preorder on steam already and priced around $40 so the price is already right.

Looks janky and cheesy, and fun! Gotta be better than the last Alone in the Dark I played, which was just a fuckin' travesty.

[Bloodporne]

It kind of looks like that last HP Lovecraft game? It'll absolutely be 6/10 or 7/10 type of jank but could be good fun. It's not like it's raining Survival Horror so I'm cautiously optimistic to a degree.

 

The dialog is cheese central and that defiling of The Animals' version of House is brutal lol. Kinda funny though.

I assume that you’re talking about Alone in the Dark 2008, I kind of liked it. It had its fair share of issues, but I still somewhat enjoyed it. I still have my Xbox 360 copy. This new Alone in the Dark looks a lot better though.

I was a fan of the first two games and jack in the dark, so I’m curious about this one. If it can give me that same kind of atmosphere then I’m interested. It looks like it has a dark cartoony kind of vibe, which I think this franchise should have, so that’s a positive sign.

Man I forgot about Jack in the Dark! I was probably 9 years old playing Alone in the Dark 1 & 2 when I would spend the night at my grandma’s house.  I remember actually being afraid of the monster that breaks through the window at the beginning of the first game. You had to slide a dresser or something in front of the window.

That Prologue was 12 minutes of almost nothing. Incredible.

Lol ok it really is. But! The only thing this kind of teaser could tell us is if it looks good and runs well. And it looks good and runs well. So considering, that’s nice. I’m definitely interested in seeing more and I feel they did a pretty good job replicating the how the original atmosphere felt, if a bit less cartoony.
