I figured that since there is a new Alone in the Dark game coming out in 2008 it would be a good time to post some game play from the original. This is the intro, where Emily Hartwood walks through the mansion Derceto in 1925, Louisiana. I love the frog here. The owner of the mansion killed himself and you are there to check out the piano for some reason, which happens to be in the attic. You could also play as a male character, Edward Carnby, who I show in the other AITD video. This choice of character and gender was actually a pretty novel feature for the time. Of course, you quickly discover there's more to the house than old pianos and begin to uncover a convoluted and twisted plot about the Civil War, the occult, and zombies. The game uses re-rendered backgrounds along with poly characters, monsters, and objects. The game move SLOWLY, but this pacing really adds to it's overall creepiness. Once you get downstairs (and, ultimately, under the house) it can be legitimately scary. (more...)
