Alone in the Dark is a survival horror/detective/action adventure-style game that takes place in a 1930s Louisiana setting. It has interesting puzzles, decent combat, cool collectibles, and vast and highly interactive exploration that's influence can be seen in similar series. It has flaws such as a lack of enemy variety and short boss battles, but the developers have done a great job of revitalizing the franchise and bringing it into the modern era. It is a great game for any horror fan, but may not be suitable for everyone.
