Alone in the Dark

Alone in the Dark is a psychological horror game set in interbellum Louisiana. Private investigator Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood go to Derceto Manor, an asylum hiding a terrible secret. Emily is searching for her missing uncle, while Edward faces the toughest case of his life; both also confront questions about themselves. You can play the single-player story as either character, with each offering a different perspective on the mystery.

Derceto Manor

As you explore the gothic mansion, you uncover its secrets and investigate what happened to Emily’s uncle. The story deals with trauma, faith, evil and abandonment, against a Southern Gothic backdrop where an intolerant society and past traumas give way to an ancient, lurking darkness. Encounters can lead into nightmarish realms filled with claws and tentacles, while reality begins to crumble and sanity is tested.

Survival and combat

You explore, solve the mystery and fight to survive, with scarce ammunition making every bullet count. The game builds its horror through atmospheric dread, nerve-wracking exploration and desperate combat. A doom jazz soundtrack accompanies the journey.

Two perspectives

You can experience the story as Emily Hartwood or Edward Carnby. Jodie Comer plays Emily and David Harbour plays Edward; both actors lend their voices, likenesses and performances to the characters. Their stories are designed to be played twice for the full experience.
