Alone in the Dark: The Trilogy 1+2+3

Games like Resident Evil and SIlent Hill would never have existed if it wasn't for Alone in the Dark. This game is fun, smart and enjoyable, even more than a decade after its release.

If you're curious to see the inspiration behind the original Resident Evil and Silent Hill games, then look no further. Everyone else is advised to stay away. Everything this game has to offer is done better in more recent games such as Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Eternal Darkness. The story goes nowhere and the game is not scary; only frustrating. There is not enough meaningful feedback or context to indicate whether you are doing something right or wrong or are even doing anything at all. In other adventure games, you'll encounter a secret passageway and receive a description like "there is a star-shaped depression in the wall here." In Alone in the Dark, you get the same message in every location: "There is a mechanism which can be triggered here". That's it. Enjoy trying every item in your inventory at every location, and then back-tracking to try the items you've left behind because of limited inventory space. Controls are clunky even by survival horror standards. You double-tap the forward key to run, but this doesn't work consistently. Your actions (fight, search/open, throw, push, close, drop) must be pre-selected from within the inventory menu, and then performed by holding down spacebar. You'll need to fight off or evade monsters while searching cupboards, chests, etc; which means you're opening the inventory screen constantly to switch actions. Not worth my time.

I have this two games in the original CD. This is a really good game and i remember having a really good time thinking about the puzzle and being afraid of dying, because that's what the game was done to, to scare you. One of the first survival horror games.

this is a really great game love it i might be young and only 17 but this game is perfect you mess up on one little thing and you are screwed and it didn't tell you that just makes it better

I've been searching for ages to play AITD 1 but to also have found a website that includes the second and third game as a bonus is just brilliant. 10 out of 10 to Gog.com for providing great games. Thank You
