Earn Your Bad Ending | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_132e865c | comment |
Earn Your Bad Ending: Completing the A Goat Without Horns and Dying With Dignity Lagniappes sets unlocks these for each character and require a secret input to be done at a certain point in their normal endings: One of a Thousand Young obtained by collecting the A Goat Without Horns set then looking towards the tree when Emily interrupts the ritual, has Carnby embrace and join the cult, refusing to help Grace which results in her death then telling Emily to run mockingly with it cutting to Emily getting in the car, being surprised by Ruth in the passenger seat and driving off. Radical Acceptance which is triggered by collecting the Dying with Dignity set and then moving the movement controls down and then right when Emily is about to commit suicide will cause her to wake up inside the Dark Man's temple with a bunch of cultists as well as Grace and Ruth both wearing their paper mâché masks as Dr Grey asks her what she sees, she says she sees the Temple every time she closes her eyes and that she's "not afraid...not anymore." | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: In addition to having more graphic on-screen deaths, this is also the only game in the series where a child is visibly killed on-screen with Grace being hanged in Carnby's bad ending, which is notable in stark contrast to Alone in the Dark 2 which never actually had her in any serious on-screen danger. | |

Bloodier and Gorier: While the series was no stranger to depicting dismembered bodies in New Nightmare and the 2008 game, this is the first game to feature dismemberment on enemies during combat as well as more convincing injuries for Edward/Emily after taking damage compared to the 2008 game. | |

Deal with the Devil | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: Jeremy's pact with the Dark Man was this, allowing the Dark Man to take his soul for eternity but prevent the Black Goat from escaping Derceto. If you meet the requirements for Emily's bad ending, she can take the deal in Jeremy's place. | |

Death of a Child: Averted in the good endings where Carnby and Emily save Grace but played straight in the One of a Thousand Young ending where you even see Grace die on-screen. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: At the beginning of the prologue demo, in which you play as Grace Saunders, one of the objects you can interact with in her room is a jack-in-the-box, referencing her first appearance in Jack in the Dark, a Self-Contained Demo about Grace being menaced by a jack-in-the-box, that similarly served to promote the then upcoming Alone in the Dark 2 and in the final game the jack-in-the-box returns as a collectable in a set with a picture of a boat called the "Flying Dutchman". Also in the beginning of the prologue demo, Grace is seen making a paper maché mask and has already painted a bit of red hair on the top. Examining it makes her voice her intentions to give the mask a "big mustahce" later, referencing Edward Carnby's red-headed mustachioed look from the original game. The book Grace tears pages off from to make the mask is a fictional novelization of the original game's story. Carnby is in debt to Obed Morton from New Nightmare. In the last scene of the prologue demo, Emily mentions to Carnby that she had a dream where Derceto Manor looked different and her uncle Jeremy had already committed suicide by the time they arrived. This is a reference to the original game where Jeremy indeed hung himself. You can find a movie script for "Slaughter Gulch" from the third game. The Pregzt Shipping Company is mentioned as a lead in the investigation. Prior to becoming a private mental institution, Derceto has the same backstory as the original game, having been built by a landowner named Elijah Pickford, who founded an Old One worshipping cult at the mansion, and was eventually killed and the mansion burned down by Union Captain Norton. However, in this continuity there's no indication that Elijah Pickford and Ezechial Pregzt are the same person. A late-game weapon is the Tommy Gun with the achievement for getting a kill with it called "Gangster" as a reference to the Zombie Gangsters from the second game. In Alone in the Dark 2 Carnby could optionally push Ted's corpse into a pit while Ted in this version is killed by Carnby pushing his car off a bridge. Late in the game, the perspective switches from the third-person perspective normally used to a fixed-perspective camera identical to those used in the first four games in the franchise. One of the enemy types digs through the ground, leaving fissures on the ground that are extremely similar to the fissures from the 2008 game. Just like the first game, the "Final Boss" is a giant tree. Only this time, it's an avatar of the Black Goat rather than Ezechiel Pregzt, and setting it on fire starts the fight instead of ending it. | |

Dark World | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_294df577 | comment |
Dark World: The character you select to play as ends up periodically being pulled into a nightmarish version of New Orleans inhabited by nightmarish monsters; this is apparently an alternate world composed of Jeremy Hartwood's memories created by his pact with the Dark Man. The character you didn't pick stays in the real world and doesn't witness anything supernatural until the very end of the game. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: Invoked with the "Derceto 1992" cosmetic DLC, which lets you change Carnby and Emily's appearances to exactly as they were in the original game: tens of polygons, static, abstract faces, and rendered at a massively-pixelated 320x240. Curiously, once the introductory cutscene is over and you've selected your character, the one you didn't choose will revert back to their modern appearance. | |

Actionized Sequel: Downplayed since the game is still a slow paced survival horror but there's significantly more ammo and enemies laying around than the original game and the player eventually gets their hands on a Thompson which didn't happen until the action-focused second game. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: A particularly evil example with the chapter 3 safe puzzle as the player finds a note in the room with a vague hint on the combination and while the solution is also technically in the room written down, it's in a dark cabinet near the floor so the player is unlikely to intentionally shine their flashlight down as they'll likely just assume it's just a generic container like many other lockers/cabinets in the game. Completing the "Hartwood Curse" item set requires you to enter the code into the Clerk Office safe early to find a collectable that isn't there when you open it later when you're supposed to. For two of the secret endings, you are required to use your movement controls at a certain point unprompted in each character's ending. | |

Spared by the Adaptation: While the events of the original game are set into motion by Jeremy Hartwood's suicide, in the reboot he didn't go through with killing himself and is instead committed to a mental institution, and plays a major role in the game. He even manages to live through the events of the game, and even remarks "This isn't how the story is supposed to go" concerning his own survival. An exasperated Carnby just gives him a sarcastic "You're welcome". | |

| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_7969557b | comment |
Subtitles Are Superfluous: While most of the game has subtitles, the actual audio that accompanies any documents/items the player picks up isn't even when it goes far from the written text. (For instance, a document found early on mentions "A Goat without horns" without context on the text but the voice over makes it clear the writer overheard it as well as including an entirely unsubtitled conversation by the writer and a store clerk.) | |

Portal Door | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_7c8981df | comment |
Portal Door: In Grace's prologue, the bathroom door in the hall near Grace's room initially leads to a lush forest setting. When she approaches, it slams shut. Opening it again leads only to the bathroom. This can also happen to Carnby or Emily during the main game without warning, with more variety in where they get teleported to. When Carnby or Emily use the talisman, it transforms a door in the room indicated in its glass eye into one of these. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Breaking the Pact between Jeremy and the Dark Man frees Jeremy from his curse, but opens the way for the other Derceto residents, who are all Shub-Niggurath cultists, to sacrifice Grace to the Black Goat. When Carnby and Emily interfere by preventing Grace from being sacrificed, this escalates things even further by summoning an avatar of the Black Goat itself into the world. Taken even further in Carnby's bad ending where he claims that him breaking the pact was the Black Goat's plan all along as he joins the cult and lets Grace be sacrificed resulting in The Bad Guy Wins. | |

Fantastically Indifferent | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_8171b426 | comment |
Fantastically Indifferent: In the prologue demo, the 11-year-old Grace voices her discomfort about the appearance of the sculptures on the landing, but when they move on their own and the foyer is suddenly half-jungle, she merely wonders what Jeremy did this time. When a monster reaches out from the water toward her, she casually orders it to stay. While she is ultimately forced to run from the monsters, the moment she escapes them her casual demeanor immediately returns. At the end of the game, Grace is also totally onboard with being hanged until dead as a human sacrifice to the Black Goat. | |

Second-Face Smoke: A first person variation. The announcement teaser ends with a woman taking a puff on her cigarette and blowing smoke into the camera. | |

Children Are Innocent | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_91672d3e | comment |
Children Are Innocent: In the demo prologue, Jeremy Haywood reasons that young Grace can be trusted because she is so innocent. Grace actually is part of the cult, but isn't involved in any machinations and has no reason not to do what Jeremy asks her to. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The note found a bible early on mentions how the author will have to make a sacrifice akin to those found in the Old Testament, as well as the store clerk offhandedly referencing the sacrifice as a "goat without horns". This references the attempted sacrifice of Claire, the Goat Without Horns, to Shub-Niggurath. | |

Joke Ending | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_a28e1b0b | comment |
Joke Ending: By completing the "All The World's A Stage" Lagniappes set you'll get the option to give Grace "something to play with" before the final boss, doing so cuts to her playing with the toy talisman while Carnby and Emily leave a play that was the events of the game, with it suddenly turning out they're Grace's parents and then leaving while Carnby says the play left him "Alone in the Dark". Emily proceeds to say the play should have had a hedge maze and pirates, two of the most infamously derided parts of the second game. | |

Parental Neglect | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_a54534a0 | comment |
Parental Neglect: Grace's mother never actually cared about Carnby finding her in the past and was only concerned with the valuable painting that was stolen and sent her to Derceto instead of caring for her after her father's death. | |

Self-Contained Demo | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_aa0d7dc5 | comment |
At the beginning of the prologue demo, in which you play as Grace Saunders, one of the objects you can interact with in her room is a jack-in-the-box, referencing her first appearance in Jack in the Dark, a Self-Contained Demo about Grace being menaced by a jack-in-the-box, that similarly served to promote the then upcoming Alone in the Dark 2 and in the final game the jack-in-the-box returns as a collectable in a set with a picture of a boat called the "Flying Dutchman". | |

Final Boss | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_ad4a45be | comment |
Just like the first game, the "Final Boss" is a giant tree. Only this time, it's an avatar of the Black Goat rather than Ezechiel Pregzt, and setting it on fire starts the fight instead of ending it. | |

Static Role, Exchangeable Character | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_af6e7d83 | comment |
Static Role, Exchangeable Character: Unlike Resident Evil 2 or Alone in the Dark: the New Nightmare, the events of the game are not occurring simultaneously for each character. The character you choose to play as finds Jeremy Hartwood's amulet and is thrust into the nightmare world, while the other player character remains in the real world investigating the more mundane aspects of the case and thinks the player character is tripping balls when they start talking about supernatural monsters. | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Zig Zagged, our protagonists are completely incapable of facing the Dark Man in direct combat and can only break the pact to free Jeremy and end up having to lobotomize him in the process, however the Black Goat afterwards once it's summoning ritual is interrupted is defeated by the chosen protagonist in direct combat. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Alone in the Dark (2024) (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Melee weapons only degrade if they actually hit the enemy, so hitting them against walls won't damage them, though they'll still take damage hitting dead enemies. Any location where the player has to break something with a melee weapon to continue will have a container with infinite melee weapons to prevent possibly getting stuck. Carnby's revolver and Emily's handgun will be given a full cylinder/magazine if the player dies with them empty. The game's first patch no longer lets you skip past the sections of cutscenes where you can choose your chosen character's bad ending, provided you've completed the steps to qualify for it. | |

Major Character, Mainstream Accent: Both Carnby and Emily, the main protagonists, speak using a Midwestern accent whilst the rest Derceto's inhabitants speak using a Deep South accent. Grace subverts this in the joke ending where she adopts the same kind of accent as the protagonists. | |
