Prior to testing Alone in the Dark, we took a look at its official website. It was well presented, with lots of interactive features, such as letting you investigate the area the game is based in: New York’s iconic Central Park. With such an impressive website, we were wondering if the game would live up to the high standards. Before we get into the details, let us give you a quick briefing about the plot of Alone in the Dark.
In the fifth installment of the popular horror franchise, you return as the protagonist Edward Carnby, a private detective who specializes in the paranormal. Alone in the Dark 5, or Near Death Investigation as it is referred to sometimes, sees him head to Central Park to check out rumors of supernatural happenings in the tunnels that run beneath it.
The game starts off with you in the clutches of your enemies, along with an elderly man named Theophile Paddington. After the long cutscene, you get your first experience of the ‘cracks’—living fissures that turn up around you randomly, and ‘eat’ anyone in their path. Soon you get to see yourself for the first time, when you face a mirror—a sure shot ploy to show off the developers’ idea of impressive facial animation.
