Alone in the Dark" is a survival horror video game series originally developed by Infogrames. The series is known for its pioneering role in the survival horror genre, influencing titles like Resident Evil and Silent Hill.
The first game, "Alone in the Dark" (1992), is set in 1920s Louisiana and revolves around a desolate town evacuated after a devastating flood. Players control either Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood, investigating a haunted mansion, solving puzzles, and banishing supernatural threats.
Howard Hartford meticulously restored the mansion in the game, reflecting his interest in the history of Pickford, whose real name was Ezechiel Pregzt.
The game's thin plot centers on the evacuated town, and its atmospheric horror and challenging puzzles made it a landmark title. "Alone in the Dark" is recognized for laying the groundwork for the survival horror genre, marking its 30th anniversary with a lasting legacy.
