Alone In The Dark Is Back For ANOTHER Reboot
The official pitch, complete with the line that it’s “a love letter to the 90’s cult classic horror game”:
Return to Derceto Manor in this reimagination of Alone in the Dark, a love letter to the 90’s cult classic horror game.
Deep in the 1920’s south, Emily Hartwood’s uncle has gone missing. Together with private investigator Edward Carnby, she embarks on a journey to Derceto Manor to uncover the secrets of this mysterious place and the circumstances of her relative’s vanishing.
Encounter strange residents, nightmarish realms, dangerous monsters and ultimately unveil a plot of rising evil. At the intersection of reality, mystery, and insanity, an adventure waits that will challenge your core beliefs. Who can you trust, what will you believe, and what will you do next?
It’s nice that this has so much more in common with the original than any other attempt at a relaunch or reboot. But still…so much of the appeal of the original was its unique and gorgeous sense of style, and I find it incredible that we’re two decades into this series being rebooted and nobody actually making the games has worked that out!
