The release of Alone in the Dark 1992 marked a significant milestone in the horror gaming genre, standing shoulder to shoulder with Capcom's Resident Evil franchise. Though the latter was out in 1996, the roots planted by Alone in the Dark four years prior can be traced distinctly throughout the eerie corridors of both Resident Evil and Silent Hill's inaugural titles.
Alone in the Dark 1992 was a huge hit at the time. However, as time passed, it somewhat disappeared, making room for new games from Capcom and Konami.

The latest Alone in the Dark is set to be released on March 20, 2024, and fans are eager to know what's in store.

While the latest Alone in the Dark promotional gameplay footage has shown a modern third-person approach, its 1992 predecessor has dated mechanics. The camera angles are fixed and will transition very slowly when you change rooms.
