What players say
"We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no~ 🎶" ~La Familia Madrigal The story of Alone in the Dark is the story of Frédérick Raynal. Who the heck is Frédérick Raynal? Well, that's exactly the problem. While pretty much everybody recognizes Shinji Mikami for what he did for the survival horror genre, Frédérick was the one who actually created it. Back in 1992.

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare was an awesome experience from start to finish. If your a fan of the classic Resident Evil games , you'll definitely love this. The game has that same tense, creepy atmosphere where your constantly on edge, solving puzzle's, and trying to survive 9/10.
This game was terrifying when I was a kid and it has aged well in my opinion. Even now the jump scares from enemies being just behind the door you just entered still get me sometimes, the puzzles are also great. I love horror games and his is one of my all time favourites.
