The game that started the popular survival horror genre returns better than ever! Players control Edward Carnby, the main character from the original Alone in the Dark, on a thrilling journey through a dark and terrifying re-creation of New York's Central Park where Carnby must discover the truth behind a dark conspiracy. With inspiration from the presentation style of popular action TV dramas, Alone in the Dark will be split into a number of distinct episodes. With approximately 30-40 minutes of gameplay comprising each episode, the structure of Alone in the Dark pulls you into world that delivers a fiercely gripping and terrifying experience. Each time the player launches a saved game, the episode will begin with a video summary of the previous episode to quickly re-immerse the player in the story and removing the need to remember where they were or what they were doing. Every episode will close with a nail-biting cliff-hanger ending to rattle players' nerves, and if the player is leaving the game a video teaser of the next episode will play to leave them wanting more. Alone in the Dark will provide a complete next-generation, action packed experience within a highly detailed, free roaming environment, featuring a mixture of real-time physics and full environmental interaction. The game will mark a new beginning for the Alone in the Dark series. The PlayStation 3 version, titled Alone in the Dark: Inferno, was released in November 2008 and includes several enhancements from the other versions

Played this game originally on xbox, and if you want to play it there you'll probably have an ok time.
Sadly, I can't manage to play this game on PC, so I have to base my review on a faint memory of it.

Alone in the Dark attempts to revitalize the classic survival horror franchise with a blend of puzzle-solving, action, and a mysterious, Lovecraftian-inspired story. The game boasts impressive visuals for its time and an intriguing narrative about a haunted mansion and forgotten secrets. However, its execution falls short with clunky controls, frustrating combat sequences, and some obtuse puzzle design. While ambitious in scope, Alone in the Dark ultimately feels like an unpolished gem, offering moments of intrigue but hampered by technical shortcomings.

While there are some really crazy ideas in the game for player interaction with the world, most of the time they end up being artificial and a point of frustration for the player, who is fighting the controls to do basic interactions. Then of course - we have the 2nd part of the game that suddenly turns the game from a linear third person game to a grindy -semi-open world, as the player is forced to collect certain amount of resources before being able to progress.

Zerei com meu primo muitos anos atrás e lembro que nos divertimos muito.

Listen. This game sucks ass. I'm rating it 5 stars because this might be one of the best shitty games ever made. I've never laughed harder than when I streamed through the city escape driving section with my wife. The ambition of this title is constantly butting heads with how poorly the game is constructed and every impact causes something extremely unexpected and funny to happen. Bless this mess.
