Alone in the dark 2024 is a great game and as a big time survival horror game fan this is must buy its a great remake of a game that is to survival horror what mario is to 2d platformers and what wofenstein is to fps games this game was here to pay homage to a legendary title. story. Sometime in the 1930s Louisiana, private investigator Edward Carnby accompanies Emily Hartwood to Derceto Manor, a remote sanatorium, after Emily receives a disturbing letter from her missing uncle, Jeremy Hartwood. Jeremy, a once-renowned artist, had been receiving treatment at Derceto, but his message hints at danger and urges Emily to stay away. Upon arrival, Edward and Emily find Jeremy missing and the manor filled with signs of unrest among both patients and staff. As they search for Jeremy within the compound, they uncover evidence of a secretive voodoo-influenced cult operating within the institution. Their investigation leads them into hidden passages and eventually into nightmarish alternate realities, accessed through a talisman that belonged to Jeremy. These realms, which represent twisted reflections of the real world, manifest Jeremy's deteriorating mind and are populated by monstrous, surreal creatures that warp the logic of space and architecture. Along the way, they encounter a strange masked entity called the Dark Man. Throughout the journey, Edward confronts his mounting guilt toward Grace Saunders, a young resident of Derceto whom he once failed to protect on a previous case. The resurfacing of his memories intensifies as the supernatural influences of the manor grow stronger. Meanwhile, Emily struggles with deep emotional wounds from the death of her husband in World War I, a loss that the eldritch visions exploit to break her resolve. The investigation reveals that Jeremy has made a desperate pact with the Dark Man in exchange for forbidden knowledge and artistic “inspiration.” Jeremy trapped fragments of his consciousness in a submerged dream-temple within his own mind. A battle ensues with a monstrous creature in the alternate world, and after defeating it by stabbing it in the left eye, it is revealed to be Jeremy in the real world. The result of the incident leaves him lobotomized. Ultimately, both the patients and staff of Derceto are revealed to be cult members and are preparing a final ritual centred around a corrupted “wish tree” in the conservatory, intending to summon a cosmic being known as the Mother or Black Goat. Gameplay. You get the option to play as either Edward and Emily and depending which character you play as you get to experience the story from different perspective which is great i played as Edward on my play through.The action is in the over the shoulder perspective which i prefer to fix camera angle or aka tank controls you have many puzzles to solve which is how a survival horror game should be and not focus heavily on action speaking of action you will encounter a range of Grotesque creatures to deal with or try to avoid depending on you're playstyle you only get a few weapons to deal with these enemies with a pistol,flaregun,shotgun and a tommygun and a range of melee weapons that have durability bar and some throwable items to use aswell you also have special items you can collect and you can only find certain items depending on which character you play as there is also a new game plus option after completing the story which adds to the replayability of the game. Sound and voice acting. The voice acting in the game is great i enjoyed learning more about jeremys fall in maddness and and interacting with the strange inhabbitants of Derceto also the banter between Edward and emily was a treat to play entering the twister worlds the creepiness and loniness of exploring these strange worlds was amazing. Pros and cons. A great remake of a truely ground breaking game from 1992 the visuals look great the voice acting sound effects the exploration the puzzles i enjoyed all of it Cons.I experienced many stuttering issues which were down right annoying also a strange sound glitch where the sound sounded like it was lagging even though the game was running great at that time i had to quit out and it seemed to solve it i dont know why it happends but its was annoying lastly the last boss looks great really Grotesque but was a chore to fight a massive difficulty spike everything up to the final boss was great but seriously that boss was trash to fight against. Final verdict. This game is great except for a few issues and that last boss which i mentioned before was trash to fight go buy this game and experience a great survival horror experience by the game that started it all which went on to inspire the likes of resident evil ,silent hill and evil within. Rating 8/10.
The remake of Alone in the Dark is a love letter to the grandfather of survival horror. It successfully revives the eerie, cosmic horror atmosphere of the 1992 original while modernizing the gameplay. Set in a gothic, southern noir version of Derceto Manor, the game focuses heavily on exploration, puzzle-solving, and a deeply unsettling psychological narrative rather than just non-stop action. 🟢 Pros Superb Atmosphere & Setting: Derceto Manor feels incredibly creepy, decaying, and atmospheric, perfectly capturing a 1920s Southern Gothic horror vibe. Excellent Star Performances: Jodie Comer (Emily) and David Harbour (Edward) deliver fantastic voice acting and motion-capture performances that bring the two playable characters to life. Great Puzzle Design: The puzzles are classic, clever, and highly rewarding to solve without feeling overly frustrating or modernly simplified. Two Distinct Perspectives: Playing through the game with both characters offers different story details, cutscenes, and unique interactions, adding solid replay value. 🔴 Cons Clunky Combat: The gunplay and melee combat feel a bit stiff, unpolished, and lack the weight or impact found in other modern survival horror remakes. Technical Rough Edges: You may encounter occasional bugs, slightly janky character animations, and minor performance stutters in certain areas. Pacing Drops: Some of the surreal, dream-like nightmare segments outside of the manor can feel a bit linear and break the excellent investigative pacing of the mansion. Final Verdict: 7.5/10 Recommended. It might lack the high-budget AAA polish of recent Resident Evil or Silent Hill remakes, but its incredible story, heavy atmosphere, and classic survival horror soul make it a must-play for true fans of the genre.
SO I'm going to say yes but it comes with sadly some large carveouts. Is this a good game? yes Was it fun? yes Was combat good? most of the time Was the story scary? A bit Were the puzzle any good. They were ok Seem all good so why am I reluctant well because the game strongly implies you need to play it twice, IT's one of the 1st games in a long time that made me feel on my 1st playthrough ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I got to know what the other character is seeing and doing. SO I played it twice and well It's Story was well mostly the same. Like if this game was a tree the roots and trunk would be the same only the leaves were different. There some big things and small things, but on the 2nd playthrough it became clear this run there was some leaps in plot and logic where when I played As Detective Carnby there were not. It's sadly clear Emily Hartwood was suppose to get more unique things because she does get at least 1 chapter of her own she does interact differently with a lot of people. Yet It was sadly missing the hook I felt when I did that 1st playthrough whenever as Carnby I'd interact with Emily. The feeling like we are not experiencing reality in the same way didn't get justified when I played As Emily. I enjoyed the game glad I played it, yet I half regret playing a 2nd run even if their is a cute skip the last boss cutscene moment on the 2nd run though that was fun.
I'm just gonna start by saying that for 2 years I avoided this game, all due to the reviews. Alone In The Dark is a solid survival horror. The puzzles are top notch, the story is semi interesting once you get into it a bit. The combat does have abit of jank but nothing game breaking. The visuals/environment are also pleasing to the eye. It's a decent experience and any true fan of Resident Evil, The Evil Within, Dead Space, TLOU, Cronos, Alan Wake and Silent Hill will enjoy this game for one play through. It's nothing ground breaking but still worth the experience. 7.5/10
