Description
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.



A Haunting Tale of Mystery and Madness
Step inside Derceto Manor, an asylum shrouded in intrigue, guarding a terrible secret. Client Emily Hartwood and private investigator Edward Carnby embark on a harrowing quest for answers; Emily to the mystery of her missing uncle, Edward to the toughest case he will ever face, and both to questions they dare not ask themselves. 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
Experience some of the greatest acting survival horror has ever seen through the performances of award-winning actors Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, Free Guy) and David Harbour (Stranger Things, Black Widow) in their first videogame roles. Jodie and David’s immaculately captured likenesses breathe life into Emily Hartwood and Edward Carnby, lending a deeply personal aspect to Alone in the Dark’s story that demands it be played twice to get the full experience.

A Tribute to Horror Pioneers
Rediscover the essence of psychological horror in a game that respectfully nods to its 1992 origin, the game that established the survival horror genre. Alone in the Dark is your gateway to an experience steeped in the atmospheric dread of classic horror, with next-generation storytelling and gameplay. A must-play for fans of twisted tales, nerve-wracking exploration, and desperate combat.

A Story That Challenges Reality
Envisioned by Mikael Hedberg, acclaimed writer behind modern horror classics “SOMA” and “Amnesia”, Alone in the Dark’s intricate web of mystery delves into themes of trauma, faith, evil, and abandonment. Whether you choose to brave the nightmare as Emily or Edward, you will uncover secrets that defy everything you thought about videogame storytelling.



  • Explore Derceto Manor in this reimagination of Alone in the Dark, a love letter to the 90’s cult classic horror game.
  • Return to the roots of psychological horror and experience an atmospheric journey worthy of the game that started the genre.
  • Dive into a world full of sounds that make your skin crawl with a haunting, yet mesmerizing doom jazz soundtrack.
  • Enjoy the thrill of desperate survival in a world where reality starts to crumble, evil lurks in every shadow and ammunition is scarce.
  • Experience this nightmare from either Emily Hartwood’s or Edward Carnby’s perspective and unearth the dark secrets of a gothic mansion.
  • Immerse yourself in a deep psychological story that goes beyond the realms of the imaginable, by Mikael Hedberg, cult horror writer of SOMA and Amnesia.
  • See Emily and Edward brought to live by the Hollywood talent of Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, Free Guy) and David Harbour (Stranger Things, Black Widow), who lend their voices, their appearance, and their formidable acting skills to the protagonists.

There might be some love for the 92 game

I bought this game because I considered Alone in the Dark as one of the "grand-daddies" of survival horror. Then I played this game and was like "yeah, this is really good". Entering this game with the right mindset is definitely important. It is not quite the modern "ohhhh scary game, gonna get spooked", but more of a Victorian era of horror (kind of like "Frankenstein" or the Cthulhu mythos where playing god reaps it's own punishment). It did deliver and plays it's cards right. The game and the gameplay achieves what I'd expect. If you want to go further and also play the 1992 version of the game you start to see the connections and there seems to be an understanding of the original game to make not just a rehash, but a solid remake. A modern take not on survival horror, but more focused on a descent into madness. I am pleased to have bought the game.

Alone in the Dark Was Worth Waiting For

Incredibly comprehensive video review: https://youtu.be/tLQCkGDtWnM Well, peeps, it's about time I revisit the series that kind of put my channel on the map, isn't it? Alone in the Dark, developed by Pieces Interactive and published by THQ Nordic/Embracer Group, is a passion project 5 years in the making that sees Soma and Amnesia: the Dark Descent writer Mikael Hedberg as creative director, masterfully recapturing the magic of Frederick Raynal's original and the subsequent sequels. Alone in the Dark's fixed camera angles, 2D static backgrounds, resource management, and more became the inspiration for Shinji Mikami's first Resident Evil game, setting the tone for survival horror genre thereafter. But after 6 games in the series, Alone in the Dark had fallen from grace fast and completely of its own inability to understand what it brough to the genre. So does Pieces Interactive have what it takes to bring this series out of the dark and earn back the spotlight yet again?

Great Experience

A straightforward puzzler & light horror game that's tense and engaging but not overwheling in tone. Fantastic voice cast all around.

Great (re)make

I have played previous titles of series and i loved them. I was expecting more difficult and time consuming puzzles and in fact difficulty and length of puzzles we`re perfect, nothing too difficult but not too easy either. Combat was also good but i didnt like breakable melee weapons. I have completed game with both characters and im going to play new game+ soon.
