What is Alone in the Dark?

In this love letter to the ground-breaking original, THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive present a re-imagination of the classic survival horror game, Alone in the Dark. Set in the gothic American south, you control one of our two protagonists: Play as Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood to explore your environments, fight monsters, solve puzzles and uncover the true secret of Derceto Manor.

See Emily and Edward brought to live by the Hollywood talent of Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, Free Guy) and David Harbour (Stranger Things, Black Widow), who lend their voices, their appearance, and their formidable acting skills to the protagonists.

While presenting a completely original story, we incorporate characters, places and themes from the 90’s original trilogy. No prior knowledge is required to enjoy the game, yet those feeling nostalgic for the original games will recognize quite a few things.

Discovering that her uncle has gone missing, Emily Hartwood looks for him with the help of private investigator Edward Carnby. Arriving at Derceto Manor, a home for the mentally exhausted, they encounter strange residents, portals to nightmarish worlds, dangerous monsters – and ultimately a plot of rising evil and its followers.

• A classic horror experience, featuring Combat, Puzzle, Exploration and Story.
• Set in the gothic American south in the 1920s, the game features a noir-setting with classic Lovecraftian horror-elements, where the familiar meets the surreal.
• Play as Edward or Emily and uncover Derceto’s mysteries from two perspectives, including completely different cutscenes and levels.
• Dive into a moody atmosphere of darkness and shadows, carried by terrifying visuals and a haunting, original Doom Jazz Soundtrack.

Experience a deep psychological story that goes beyond the realms of the imaginable, by Mikael Hedberg, cult horror writer of SOMA and Amnesia. The team at Pieces interactive is supported by monster designer and legendary Guillermo del Toro collaborator, Guy Davis as well as Doom Jazz legend Jason Köhnen, who provides his eerie and haunting melodies for the right atmosphere.
