Jack in the Dark is a spin-off game made during Alone in the Dark 2's development. It was used as a promotional game, distributed at Christmas 1993. The game was on a single floppy disk in a golden wrap featuring a Jack-in-the-box illustration on top. Later CD versions of both Alone in the Dark and Alone in the Dark 2 came packaged with Jack in the Dark. It is Halloween, and Grace Saunders is out for tricks or treats, when she enters a small toy store and gets locked in. The Jack-in-the-Box laughs, the toys play and walk by themselves and hold a dark secret. Grace must discover what secret is that and figure out a way to leave this somewhat eccentric toy store, governed by a somewhat psychopathic Jack-in-the-Box.

Review EN/PTBR
"Okay, we need to launch a game between Alone in the Dark 1 and Alone in the Dark 2 where we convince our audience to buy the next game, so I had this idea, what if Santa Claus was kidnapped by some toys then you have to go there and make all the toys look like fucking idiots to make them release the hostage?"

"Tá bom precisamos lançar um jogo entre o Alone in the Dark 1 e Alone in the Dark 2 aonde convença nosso publico a comprar o próximo jogo, então tive essa ideia, e se o papai noel fosse sequestrado por uns brinquedos ai tu tem que ir lá e fazer todos os brinquedo de otário pra fazer eles liberarem o refém?"

A spin off to alone in the dark very short, its basically like a dlc to alone in the dark its nothing special with the same clunky controls.
I don't have much to say about this since it's a miniscule teaser/tech demo. It doesn't stick around long enough to be all that annoying. It's a little charming I suppose.
Had a funny thought that if I were presented with this in current year as if it were made by a solo dev I would probably think it was super cool. Funny how that works.

That's... cute? I guess...
Jack in the Dark is a bonus game supposedly made to promote Alone in the Dark 2 featuring the same gameplay and it's only 20 minutes long. I'm not rating this it's just a bonus and it's really whatever and it also runs really poorly, but I guess you might as well check it out if you already went through the pain of playing the original game.

Милый небольшой спин-офф с тизером Alone in the Dark 2.
cute
