Okay so, here is the situation as I understand it, and if I am wrong please let me know because admittedly it's a bit confusing. So this game was released as ALONE IN THE DARK REMASTERED, which in the dev's own words is royalty free, and they do not own the license to the IP, naturally. And yet, now the game is called The Mansion of The Macabre and all of a sudden it's okay to charge for it. Not sure if they were acquired, but the point is the same. If I may give a quote from the page : [b] "I paid for this! Have I been ripped off? Yes! We don't charge for the game, and demand a refund as we don't own the IP to Alone in The Dark, and no one should be charging you for royalty free, fan produced software. Although, you can donate for our hard work and dedication." [/b] (former itch page if I am not mistaken) So... I feel like there is a contradiction coming directly from the source - you saying it's not your IP and it's royalty free, but changing the name somehow, makes it different (a...

About This Game
Michael Praise and Diana Eden investigate the paranormal in this return to classic survival horror. Explore the Crowley Manor and unravel the secrets of the Occult. Inspired by the Works of HP Lovecraft and a love letter to classic 90’s survival horror games.
Featuring an ancient evil and occult conspiracy, Cthlulu and his macabre creatures have their grip on the estate in 1920’s Florida Wetlands. You go in freely, but will you leave the same way?
The mansion is entombed by the creature on the threshold. Only by defeating an old evil will it release it’s grasp and allow you to escape, but perhaps without your sanity intact…
Featuring two characters to choose from with an intricately written story, platform elements, puzzle solving and classic 90’s survival horror tropes, explore the mansion of the Crowley Family and find and defeat the underbelly of true evil.
The Story
Micheal Praise
I am a kept man, I’m also quite a superstitious man with an obsessive personality. My family doctor diagnosed me with a large case of obsessive compulsive disorder along with borderline schizophrenia, but I always shrugged these so called delusions off with the reality of experience. For the past ten years, my obsession with the paranormal had caused my freelance journalism career to change to full time ghost hunter. Upon finishing smoking my favourite brand of cigars, Sterling, of course, I dress in my smartest suit. I received a call this morning, a tip off it seems – A estate known as Crowley Manor had some ‘hauntings’ as of late, and it seems the owner vanished without a trace. I am to get a cab out to the manor this evening and investigate this for myself. Could I prove to everyone and myself that this is all not folly?
Diana Eden
I do despise these family involvements as of late. It seems that my stepfather has finally gone insane, talks of the occult, local gossip and to add insult to injury, the man has gone missing and they want me to find out what’s been going on. I do not believe this! I’ve arranged to visit the wonderful creaking Crowley Manor. I’ve always worked hard in my life, and it is not my intention to be an heiress to the man, although it does have me concerned. I do not really believe in the supernatural but I must admit, there was always something off with that house. When I was a child I always remember the secret drawer of the Piano, the window that was always blocked by the cabinet in the Loft, and the howls of a night. I suppose my imagination was greater then. Still…

As a die hard fan of AITD series and even not as a die hard fan I must say this game is an ABOMANATION! Where do I start... First of all it a copycat of AITD 1 so why calling it other name other than AITD 1 remake or collage. The game is atrocious an amateur asset flip with terrible camera angels terrible controls terrible sounds terrible aspect ratio especially on ultrawide monitor. Couldn't bare playing more than 10 min it's that bad, just a bad joke 0/10
I'm going to be a bit of an outlier here and say I appreciate this game for a few specific reasons. I love the original Alone in the Dark. In fact, although this is a modern remake, I prefer the graphical style of the original warts and all. There is a certain charm in the old school graphics, and I would say the house interiors are more detailed in the original. However, the original is clunky to control. I was able to play it with a Steam Controller but that did not take away that every action is basically menu driven. I'm sure back in the day gamepads were not as prevalent as they are today. I don't know how many people are interested enough to play the first Alone in the Dark in the first place, but this version at least streamlines the process. It ironically takes some quality-of-life updates from Resident Evil, which was of course inspired by Alone in the Dark in the first place. Much easier to play. In fact, I played both simultaneously as I encountered a glitch in the first ga...
