Review: Alone in the Dark [2024]

Alone in the Dark is a series that needs no introduction to fans of horror games. Debuting in 1992 it began many of the survival horror tropes still in use today, a true pioneer of its time. Sadly the series has fallen a bit into obscurity since then as subsequent sequels and reboots have failed
