The original Alone in the Dark is credited as the first "Survival Horror" video game. This release in the series pays homage to its trailblazing predecessor by offering the same spooky mix of puzzle-solving and action-oriented gameplay, in a new story featuring well-defined characters and detailed environments. Take the role of either paranormal investigator Edward Carnby or archeologist Aline Cedrac and guide your hero through dark corridors filled with deadly creatures and hidden clues. The heroes' storylines intertwine, but each character follows a slightly different plot for a unique experience.
