Best Alone In The Dark game!

The New Nightmare is decidedly the best game in the Alone In The Dark franchise and one of the greatest horror games ever made. Even after 25 years (soon to be celebrated) it still has a generations of players who love it. I sincerely think that a remaster or a true-to-the-original remake would be the next step in ensuring that the legacy of the AITD ftranchise will go on. The sooner, the better...

Really great game

I played this first on my ps one, and this version is great, i can set it on higher resolution and etc. I had bad experiences with compatibility when i first got this game (no textures loaded at all), but i'm not sure if is just this version, but it work really great. The game itself is really good, like a middle ground between silent hill and resident evil (i think), and right now is really cheap, so it is really worth it (it hasn't aged that good but is good nevertheless)

What Even Was This Mess?

It started so strong, with references to the original game, including a near-perfect replicated shot from inside a top-floor window overlooking the grounds. This scene alone got me excited. I immediately noticed how well the characters controlled, and I had little trouble utilizing a program such as JoytoKey to map a controller (though the keyboard and mouse option are likely completely fine if that's your preference). Beyond that, the story and overall experience are a mess. It's nearly impossible to feel properly alone in the dark when there's a new character standing around every corner attempting to add some obscure bits of information to the plot. Need more than the cryptic clues that NPC 1, 2 or 3 gave you? Just turn around and crack open one of seemingly dozens of books strewn about the game world. Each is guaranteed to dump an excess of lore into your lap after you've read through the ten, fifteen, or even fifty-odd(!) pages found in each book. This would almost be enough to make you think this would lead to an excellently crafted story, but sad to say, the ending is about as tangible as the nonexistent clues to beating a number of the bosses.
