Alone in the Dark (Video Game)	comment	Alone in the Dark is a series of Action-Adventure game originally published by Infogrames. The series is regarded as the progenitor of the Survival Horror genre, with the first game providing an early Sprite/Polygon Mix.Although not an Alone in the Dark game per se, Cold Fear was originally supposed to be Alone in the Dark 5. Although the end product ultimately had nothing to do with the series, it can still be considered Alone in the Dark at sea.List of media:Video Games Alone in the Dark (1992): Set in the 1920s, the game had players take the role of private detective Edward Carnby or socialite Emily Hartwood, who were locked in the haunted mansion of Derceto, searching for a way out while battling zombies, monsters, and a lurking evil inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. It featured 3D polygon characters over fixed 2D backgrounds, allowing for cinematic camera angles. Featuring a mix of combat, puzzle-solving, inventory management, and exploration, the game was well-received and made a rather large impression at the time. Jack in the Dark (1993): A short free PC game released as a teaser for the upcoming Alone in the Dark 2, featuring its then-current engine. Using all of the standard Alone in the Dark mechanics, the small Grace Saunders, dressed as a witch for Halloween, must escape a haunted toy shop. Alone in the Dark 2 (1993): More linear and combat-oriented sequel, featuring a tommygun-wielding Edward Carnby facing off against 1920s mobsters led by the villainous One-Eyed Jack to rescue kidnapped child Grace Saunders. As it turns out, Jack and his gang are in fact immortal pirates, the crew of the Flying Dutchman, who made a pact with witch Elizabeth Jarret and perform regular human sacrifices to retain their life and youth. There were also a few stealth segments where players took the role of Grace Saunders and had to evade the mobsters searching for her. Alone in the Dark 3 (1994): Takes place in an abandoned Wild West ghost town, with Carnby attempting to save Emily Hartwood (who was filming a western film along with a film crew in the deserted town), who has inadvertently awakened the ghosts of the town's evil inhabitants, led by prospector Jedediah Stone. Although still linear, the game featured a more balanced mix of combat and puzzle-solving. Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (2001): A re-imagining of the series. Taking place in modern times, the game featured a new protagonist - also named Edward Carnby (No relation) - who teams up with linguistic expert Aline Cedrac to unravel the mystery of Shadow Island and its reclusive inhabitants, the Morton family. This ultimately puts them into a battle against the Creatures of Darkness, reptilian shadow monsters originating from an underground underworld known as the World of Darkness. The game featured many control, gameplay, and presentation elements taken straight out of the playbook of Resident Evil. Its most unique feature was the use of the flashlight to reveal hidden details of the environment, as well as to drive back some of the light-sensitive monsters. Alone in the Dark (2008): A reboot of the franchise known simply as Alone in the Dark (later given the subtitle Inferno when it was ported to the PlayStation 3). The game features the original Edward Carnby from the original games, waking up in modern day New York City alive, unaged, and with a major case of amnesia just in time to witness living fissures wreck the city and turn many of its inhabitants into vicious monsters. Taking place in Central Park, the game was a Gameplay Roulette featuring elements of First Person Shooters, Third-Person Platformers, Driving Games, Beat Em Ups, etc. It also borrowed quite a bit from the film version released three years earlier; this was not prudent. Alone in the Dark: Illumination (2015): A co-op shooter. Originally scheduled to come out in December 2014, it ended up coming out on the 12th of June 2015 and was critically panned even moreso than the 2008 game, leading to Atari selling off the rights to the franchise. Alone in the Dark (2024): A Continuity Reboot remake announced on August 2022, after the franchise was sold to THQ Nordic in 2018; it was released on March 20, 2024. The developers describe it as a third-person over-the-shoulder survival horror game, akin to Resident Evil 4, though with a greater emphasis on plot, atmosphere, and a sense of dread.Films Alone in the Dark (2005): Borrows a few bits from The New Nightmare but had little else to do with the games that came out before it. Directed by the infamous Uwe Boll. Alone in the Dark II (2008): A direct-to-video sequel.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_12c65d9b	comment	Abnormal Ammo: In the third game you will find an empty shotgun. Acquiring the ammo for it (and realizing the item is meant to be ammunition) is a Guide Dang It! moment: it shoots gold coins. The zombie holding said gold coins supposedly can only be killed by a golden bullet, either by the gold coins mentioned above or a single golden Winchester bullet found elsewhere. The fourth game is full of these as your enemies are vulnerable mainly to bright light. Your "standard" firearms like the triple shotgun needs magnesium or phosphor rounds, the rocket launcher pistol fires magnesium rockets, the plasma gun needs gas tanks and your final two energy weapons require an otherdimensional crystal to power them.

From the fourth game onwards such odd moments were completely absent.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf	type	Unwinnable by Design
Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf	comment	Unwinnable by Design: In the original game, you need two small mirrors to defeat the Nightgaunts at the top of the stairs and proceed further into the game. If a monster attacks you just once while you are carrying the mirrors, they will shatter and are lost forever. There are only two mirrors in the entire game. Without both of them intact, the game is unwinnable. Other possible unwinnable situations are entering the caves beneath Derceto (it is a Point of No Return) without every required plot itemnote including the key above the ballroom's chimney, which is required to open a chest that contains a gem unlocking the door to the final boss's room, and the star-shaped amulet of the library's secret room, which is required to beat the final boss (the library's secret room itself being very hard to discover), neglecting to unlock the passage back into the basement so you can get back after the bridge collapses (depending on what version you're playing), and running out of fuel for the oil lamp, which you need to reach and defeat the Final Boss. The second game has a bullet-proof vest which reduces damage and keeps Carnby from getting stun-locked. It has limited durability, and if you break it before an area where you must fight off multiple gun-wielding enemies at once, all you'll be able to do is watch Carnby in a Santa suit repeatedly flinch and then fall down dead. In the third game, advancing in the plot requires to shot a villain with a golden bullet (one hit is enough to kill him). There are exactly 11 golden bullets in the game (a single Winchester round and a bag of gold coins kept by the enemy himself, that can be stolen from his hands with the whip). Naturally, using up those bullets will make the game unwinnable.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_1c2b6ac8	comment	Soft Water: Inverted in the first game. Shortly before the dark maze and final boss room, there is a large room with a maze of catwalks over a pool of water. Although it's only about a 10-20 foot drop, falling in the water causes instant death, no matter what your health. At least until you destroy Pregzt, after which it strangely becomes Soft Water. Definitely not toxic water, either, since going in the water in other parts of the caverns (which connect to this room) doesn't kill you.

Much later, he uses that door from the other side to get to the cellar again.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_273b4c2a	type	Some Dexterity Required
Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_273b4c2a	comment	Some Dexterity Required: As shown in the trope image, the 2008 game. The game allows for players to switch between first and third person and use a variety of improvised weapons, set items on fire to permanently kill enemies, and mix items together in the inventory to make things like fire bullets, an improvised flamethrower, or a bomb that you shoot out of the air. Problem is, the inventory tends to be extremely finicky (requiring you to use a thumbstick to scroll through Carnby's jacket pouches and stop the stick precisely at the right spot to get what you want), and virtually every button had a specific use that may or may not change depending on what you're doing at the time; even putting away your flashlight and gun can be a pain for newcomers. Melee combat tried to be flexible by allowing for several different swings and precise movements of held objects for pushing items or holding them against a flame, but Carnby moves like a tank and doesn't swing much faster than he turns. And the inventory screen doesn't pause the game, meaning that rapidly building a bomb or fire bullets that will actually kill an enemy or grabbing a healing spray or bandages to avoid death involves fighting the imprecise and complex interface while you try and avoid getting smacked in the face.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_29c50e28	type	Trial-and-Error Gameplay
Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_29c50e28	comment	Trial-and-Error Gameplay: The first game has quite a few: There are two "evil books" in the library's secret room (which is already a Guide Dang It! to find). The first, "Fragments of the Book of Abdul", hurts you, while the second, "De Vermis Mysteriis", instantly kills you if you so much as look at the front page. That is, unless you are standing on the pentagram symbol in the room, Guide Dang It!. If you accidentally bump into a ghost (touching the one by the fireplace is almost certain on the first try), they come to life as a swirling cloud of psychedelic death that chases you around the house until it kills you. Another unavoidable first-time death occurs in the hallway leading to the library, where the woodsman painting starts throwing axes at you. Further down the hallway, a painting of an Indian starts shooting arrows that home in on you, at which point death is inevitable. The player learns the hard way to put the Old Indian Cover on the woodsman painting and to shoot the Indian painting with the bow and arrows. Simply opening the front door of the house results in death. One of the books you can find contains something that could remotely be considered a clue to this, but it's obscure enough that it's doubtful a single player has ever been stopped from trying to open the door in good faith (rather than to see the death) on their first playthrough. The third game has a spike pit that you must cross by stepping on invisible platforms. Nothing gives you any indication where the platforms are. Mercifully, falling into the pit just quickly and unceremoniously returns you to the main menu. The 2008 game is also rife with moments like this, such as the part where you have to scale the side of an exploding building. Such instances are often due to shoddy game design.

Those not in the darkness, in well lit areas, will end up dead by the end of the scene. Also, in The New Nightmare, all enemies are weak to light, but Photosaurus in particular are extremely affected by it. The flashlight will force them to retreat a few steps, and turning on the lights of the room they're in will instantly kill all of them.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_33ca811a	comment	Game-Breaking Bug: 2008 Alone in the Dark seem to be made of these. In the 59th Street level you'll find that your vehicle can and will get stuck into invisible walls. The rest of the game doesn't get much better; driving never outgrows the invisible walls, which also invade jumping puzzles, while combat is helplessly random due to both the accuracy required (enemies have only specific weak spots) and the problematic collision detection. There is a sequence where you must drive a car from a building near Central Park all the way through some of the nearby streets in order to escape a gigantic fissure wreaking havoc on the city, however, during the very last part of the ride, a very nasty bug will sometimes prevent the map from correctly loading during the last jump, making you fall to your death and forcing you to repeat the whole driving sequence. When playing the original trilogy in modern computers, you may find that the game glitches when having to push heavy objects. While they were intended to be pushed in a few seconds, they may actually take a lot to be pushed. The worst example of this happens at the start of the second game. You must push a huge anchor statue that is blocking the entrance to a hedge maze while three mooks are shooting you. You're supposed not to fight the mooks, since they're quite hard to beat, and instead ignore them and enter the maze as soon as possible. If done fast enough, the guards won't have enough time to harm you. But, if the statue happens to glitch, the guards will have shot you to death before you've moved the statue a few inches, so you have no choice but fight those mooks.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_40b1b989	comment	Resources Management Gameplay: In the original game, you have a limited amount of oil for your lamp. Keeping your lamp lit is necessary in some dark rooms. If you run out of oil, you're screwed because you won't be able to get past some rooms or find important stuff in them, and it's required to kill the Final Boss. Same applies to healing items: you find very few of them throughout the entire game. Not to mention weapons, which break or run out of ammo rapidly, and are also finite in number. Fortunately, the enemy population in the mansion is relatively low for the genre and are finite in number, and unlike most games in the genre fisticuffs are a viable means of dispatching many of the otherworldly horrors. The above also applies to the second and third games, with the additional factor that many of your enemies wield guns and thus you can't just punch them to death. The New Nightmare is perhaps the most extreme example. It has the usual limited ammo typical of the genre, as well as areas (including narrow hallways) where enemies respawn either when you backtrack through or actively while you're in the room. You have to be very smart with your ammo management, as there absolutely isn't enough to kill every enemy in the game or even every enemy that gets directly in your way.

The first game required two objects from the game to be entered, which was already saying something given the large number of one-use clutter. The second game, however, was a bit more complex. When you entered the first screen, it had a message something along the lines of "Protection Ace of Hearts over Three of Clubs First Hole". This could be disregarded, and if one tried to enter the hedge maze without inputting a code with the F keys, the game would say "YOU DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION" and smite you. It turned out the manual told what the question is, and the game came with a number of hole-punched playing cards. Only by correctly laying the cards over each other and examining a hole could you figure out the required code to get on with it.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_4de1a4f7	comment	Improvised Weapon: In the 2008 game, most enemies can only be killed by fire. If no fire is around, the player must use inventory items to improvise. Alcohol can be poured on bullets to make fire bullets, or the bottle can be thrown and shot midair for an explosive weapon. There are also classic examples, such as the flamethrower from a aerosol can and lighter, or using cloth and a bottle for a molotov cocktail.

It's a good thing they keep their 200-year-old swords and flintlock pistols (and cannons) in pristine state for you to kill them with once you are on board.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_6602cad	comment	In the original game, you need two small mirrors to defeat the Nightgaunts at the top of the stairs and proceed further into the game. If a monster attacks you just once while you are carrying the mirrors, they will shatter and are lost forever. There are only two mirrors in the entire game. Without both of them intact, the game is unwinnable. Other possible unwinnable situations are entering the caves beneath Derceto (it is a Point of No Return) without every required plot itemnote including the key above the ballroom's chimney, which is required to open a chest that contains a gem unlocking the door to the final boss's room, and the star-shaped amulet of the library's secret room, which is required to beat the final boss (the library's secret room itself being very hard to discover), neglecting to unlock the passage back into the basement so you can get back after the bridge collapses (depending on what version you're playing), and running out of fuel for the oil lamp, which you need to reach and defeat the Final Boss.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_7d561d58	comment	Too Awesome to Use: Guns can end up being this in the 1992 game if you're reluctant to waste what little ammo you have, although the rifle's ammo should best be used up before heading into the underground caverns, since falling into the water there will wet the cartridges and render them useless. In The New Nightmare, each path has one weapon for which you won't be able to find ammo, thus being limited for the whole game to the initial ammo coming with the weapon. In each case, it's a weapon you'll seldom use in the path with less ammo anyway: ammo for the plasma cannon is found in Carnby's path, which is more action-oriented and features Night Rippers much more often, for which the plasma cannon is the weapon of choice; ammo for the grenade launcher is found in Aline's path, which has Howard Morton as a Recurring Boss, for whom the grenade launcher is the weapon of choice.

Yes, he narrates his own growing insanity and eats scenery with gusto. And for the evil side of things, Ezechiel Pregzt' final note before the "boss fight" with him where he very hammily implores you to "COOOOOOOOOME TOOOOOOO MEEEEEEE...." The narration voiceover for books and pages in the original trilogy gets hammier as the series goes on, to be arguably crowned by Engineer Hutchinsen's notebook in Alone in the Dark 3. The dramatic reading delivers a truckload of ham.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_8b9c512e	comment	Down the Drain: The New Nightmare has a sewer level early on in Edward's scenario. Though not very long, Edward's speed is halved by being partly submerged in water, and the place houses a particularly nasty Eldritch Abomination, the Phocomelus, that will pop from beneath to attack him if he takes too long to reach the exit. Except trying to speed up catches the creature's attention. You spend the level alternating between slow/fast pacing and trying to hold off the creature with all your ammo, which can knock it back unconscious for a few seconds AT BEST (it can be killed, but it requires six shots with the revolver, the only weapon you have at that point). In Aline's scenario though, he can be safely avoided the first time (when he appears from a rug) and dealt with later on (because you have access to stronger weapons such as the triple-barreled shotgun).

The available options are "Goto Level", which lets you warp to any room in the game (note that the game may crash when trying to access to a room not normally available for the selected character, like Alan's secret laboratory for Aline or anywhere in the fort for Carnby, and there are empty spaces corresponding to Dummied Out rooms that will always crash the game), "All Item", which gives you all the weapons, objects, and documents in the game (including some Dummied Out weapons, unfortunately unusable), "God Mode", which gives you infinite health, "WRInf", which gives you unlimited ammo, and "Debug Info", whose purpose is unknown.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_96ecc67e	comment	Shotguns Are Just Better: Played straight in the 2 and 3 with the riot gun and shotgun respectively. These are both higher-end weapons that give you more damage than the base gun. Averted in New Nightmare, the triple-barreled shotgun looks intimidating but its damage is barely adequate against the zombies you face (it can take up to 8 shotgun rounds to kill one) and each shot uses 3 rounds.

In the second game, Carnby can obtain a bottle of poison and a bottle of wine, which are meant to be combined and used for a puzzle. The poison has an Eat/Drink option. To make it even more glaring, the wine does not let you drink it...but you can drink the poisoned wine! The third game also lets you drink poison, along with a bottle of what appears to be water (it's heavy water).

All 3 games in the original trilogy as well as The New Nightmare feature an "unseen being watching your character through the window" scene at the beginning of the game. Two of the characters of Illumination are said to be related to the original Carnby and Emily; the former looks quite a bit like the 2008 incarnation of the character.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_ad4a45be	comment	In the original game, you have a limited amount of oil for your lamp. Keeping your lamp lit is necessary in some dark rooms. If you run out of oil, you're screwed because you won't be able to get past some rooms or find important stuff in them, and it's required to kill the Final Boss. Same applies to healing items: you find very few of them throughout the entire game. Not to mention weapons, which break or run out of ammo rapidly, and are also finite in number. Fortunately, the enemy population in the mansion is relatively low for the genre and are finite in number, and unlike most games in the genre fisticuffs are a viable means of dispatching many of the otherworldly horrors.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_ba236071	comment	The second game has a bullet-proof vest which reduces damage and keeps Carnby from getting stun-locked. It has limited durability, and if you break it before an area where you must fight off multiple gun-wielding enemies at once, all you'll be able to do is watch Carnby in a Santa suit repeatedly flinch and then fall down dead.

In the second game, being overwhelmed by enemies or even one enemy with a Tommy gun can stun-lock Carnby until he is dead. In The New Nightmare, one particular enemy, the Ophtalmicid, can be stunlocked very easily, as it flinches a lot when shot. This was most likely introduced because Carnby is forced to kill one of them before getting the shotgun, using only his revolver, which requires a lot of bullets (about six shots).

However, the door to said room is locked. The radio room is only accesible as Carnby: he must travel to the abandoned chapel near a marsh, reach Alan's laboratory hidden under the chapel, cross it, and take the underground tunnel leading back to the mansion cellar - the radio room being right next to the cellar.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_eca56f2	comment	Ten-Second Flashlight: Averted in the 2008 game. Your two main inventory items are a pistol and a flashlight. The flashlight operates on batteries (which you find scattered throughout the game) and does eventually run out of power, but each battery lasts for a good few minutes, which can last you a while if you switch it on and off as needed. Not to mention the fact that after you burn one of the evil roots (don't ask, it's complicated), you get an ability that makes killing enemies easy, as long as you keep your eyes closed. It's that kind of game.

Alone in the Dark (Video Game) / int_fc07d409	comment	Hopeless Boss Fight: The final bosses of The New Nightmare. The zombified Alan Morton, no matter how many times you knock him down, always gets back up. After stunning him, you have to run into a mundane alcove which contains a spear, which Carnby automatically uses to kill Morton. Likewise, Obed Morton is so difficult to defeat that to many players he seems like a Hopeless Boss Fight, such that even most of the game's walkthroughs indicate the only way to finish the game is to use an exploit to run past him instead of fighting him. You actually can kill Obed by shooting him (and it doesn't even matter what weapon you use either), but you can only hurt him when he's in a certain pose (he should be knocked backwards if you hit him correctly, indicating you got it right).
