About This Game

From the moment Edward Carnby and Aline Cedrac set foot on Shadow Island, they are confronted by mysterious, evil creatures intent on thwarting their progress to recover 3 ancient tablets believed to hold the secret key to some incredible menacing phenomena. Danger threatens from every corner. The slightest shadow could be hiding deep secrets, or concealing worse nightmares... Can you see beyond your fear?

Edward Carnby, the supernatural detective is back! And this time it's for revenge. Carnby's best friend, Charles Fiske has been found dead off a mysterious island off the coast of Maine, Shadow Island. Carnby's investigation quickly leads him to Fred Johnson who informs him of Fiske's search for the three ancient tablets which, when placed in a specific location, will unlock an incredible and dangerous power. Johnson pleads with Carnby to pick up where Fiske left off and reopen the investigation in order to recover the tablets. Carnby accepts the mission to find and destroy the murderer of Fiske and avenge his death.

The original survival horror franchise continues with a pure blend of intense action and suspenseful adventure. Alone in the Dark immerses the player into a dark and strange atmosphere where conventional rules do not apply. The player must overcome his natural fear of the dark unknown and control Edward Carnby through a deep and highly detailed storyline. Armed with a flashlight and a pistol, Carnby must find the necessary items to survive as well as the clues which will help him escape his ultimate nightmare.

Eu sempre vou recomendar esse jogo. Ele tá na lista de jogos preferidos meus e que fez parte da minha infância. Lembro que quando joguei ele quando era criança, eu morria de medo! Mesmo assim, joguei até o fim. Hoje em dia, não tenho tanto medo, mas reconheço que os jumpscares (sustos) desse jogo são muito bons kkkkkk É sempre um monstro surgindo do nada, um trovão, alguma coisa doida caótica.... Mesmo se você estiver jogando esse jogo pela segunda vez, sei lá, você vai tomar susto com alguma coisa. Esse jogo é meio estranho porque tecnicamente ele não é 100% um reboot do Alone in the Dark de 1992, que se passa na década de 1920. Esse jogo se passa em 2001, e tem foco na família Morton, em vez da família De Certo. A única coisa em comum com o primeiro jogo é que o personagem Edward Carnby tem o mesmo nome do principal e também é detetive. Bom, dá pra forçar a barra e pensar que esse Edward é um neto ou bisneto do Edward do primeiro jogo, sabe? Mas isso é só ...

Not the greatest RE copycat and I think it has too many problems to be good. There are sometimes difficulties picking up items or going through doors because of some technicality. The puzzles are just a matter of finding an answer or an item for them somewhere else and running around looking for them. Instead of running past the enemies, it's easier to just kill them except outdoors in the large caverns where you can narrowly make it past them. Because where you can or can't go is poorly conveyed, making you often push against invisible walls. In the Carnby's campaign there's also this annoying boss that takes almost 90% of your ammo to kill and it can't even hurt you, if you just stay still and shoot it when comes up to you. The game has a build up of tension only to end abruptly after the pathetic final boss drops dead. There's a glitching save system too, so you better move to the coast area after the stone pillar puzzle to save your game, it sometimes forgets what you have already ...
