Overview of Alone in the Dark Remake
Alone in the Dark is a popular horror game series created by Pieces Interactive. There are six games in the series, and the seventh is a remake of the first one. In these games, players control a private investigator named Edward Carnby, who explores haunted places filled with undead creatures.
The first game came out in 1992 for MS-DOS and has been adapted for various platforms like MacOS, PC-98, FM Towns, 3DO, Acorn Archimedes, and iOS. Now, the newest title is a complete remake of the original, offering updated mechanics, graphics, and more. This Alone in the Dark Remake game is likely to evoke nostalgia for longtime fans and attract new ones with its modern improvements.
Despite being a horror game, Alone in the Dark is also a fighting game since the main character uses a gun to defeat monsters, and we can expect something similar with the Alone in the Dark Remake.
Alone in the Dark Remake Release Date
Alone in the Dark Remake is set to be released on March 20, 2024, which is less than two months away.
After years of development, the game is finally ready to be released, offering horror game fans a chance to face the creepy creatures from the game’s world.
Alone in the Dark Remake Platforms
The original Alone in the Dark was only for PC and Mac, but the remake will be on more systems. You can play it on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
Unfortunately, it’s not planned for Nintendo Switch right now, but that might change in the future. It’s great that the Alone in the Dark Remake is coming to the three big gaming platforms.
Alone in the Dark Remake Gameplay
The new Alone in the Dark is a “reimagination” of the original game, according to the makers. Similar to the first game, you’ll visit the Louisianan Derceto Manor; but, this time, it’s a rural mental health facility.
Emily Hartwood, Jeremy’s niece, and Edward Carnby, the private investigator Emily has hired to help discover what has happened to her uncle, are the two playable protagonists that you will still have a choice between. Regardless of the character you choose, you explore the manor and some of the neighboring areas of Louisiana while playing in the third person.
It will take two plays through the game to see everything since depending on who you play, you’ll watch different sequences, interact with NPCs in different ways, and sometimes even explore other regions. There’s a good mix of fighting with otherworldly creatures and arcane puzzle solving, just as in a classic horror game.
Alone in the Dark Remake Rating
The game’s official rating is not confirmed yet, but it’s expected to be rated M for Mature. On the Steam webpage, players need to enter their birthdate before accessing the page, and there’s a warning that the game may contain content not suitable for all ages or workplaces.
Although the Alone in the Dark Remake game doesn’t show violence against humans, it does depict themes like self-harm, suicide, and depression.
Is Alone in the Dark Remake going to be a multiplayer?
No, Alone in the Dark Remake is not going to be multiplayer. Though people like playing games with friends online, but horror games are best played alone. Horror games feel scarier when you’re by yourself, which is why the Alone in the Dark remake will only be for single players.
Developers of Alone in the Dark Remake
Pieces Interactive, a well-known game studio, has been delivering horror experiences to fans for years through the Alone in the Dark series. There have been multiple games in the series since the first one was released in 1992. And now, Pieces Interactive is currently working on a remake of this classic horror game.
The last game in the series didn’t do well, so the developers, Pieces Interactive, decided to change their approach. Inspired by the success of Resident Evil 2 in 2019, they worked on remaking the original Alone in the Dark game.
