Alone In The Dark is a series that, long ago, meant something. It was the original 3D survival horror game, and the first two titles werenāt just terrifying and a blast to play, but had a gorgeous old-timey art style as well. In later years, thoughā¦well, letās just say time and some publisher misdeeds pissed that legacy away.
There hasnāt been an Alone in the Dark since 2008ās dreadful reboot at the hands of Atari, but hey, thatās not stopping whatever company inherits the old brand name these days from waiting a few years and trying again. At this yearās PAX, the publisher will be showing off a game called Alone in the Dark: Illumination.
The developer is a studio called Pure FPS that I canāt even find a webpage for. The press release describes it as āre-imaginedā.
I am afraid, then, but not in the way Atari is probably hoping.
As a chaser, then, hereās a playthrough of the first game.
