Alone in the Dark - Gameplay video

This foundational Main Game, first released in 1992, blends Adventure and Puzzle genres, establishing early survival horror conventions. You choose between two protagonists, Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood, to investigate a mysterious death at the haunted Derceto Manor in 1920s Louisiana. Gameplay involves exploration, utilizing various weapons, and solving puzzles, as many enemies require specific tactics or cannot be defeated at all. Its distinctive feature was the early use of 3D models over pre-rendered backgrounds, creating a tense atmosphere.
