It's not the dark you should be afraid of. Fear what's lurking in the dark...

Nevermore will you trespass through the night without mortal fear after Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare. Inspired by the chilling tales of horror authors such as H.P. Lovecraft, terror seeps from every seam of the crackled walls and rotting tapestries found in the corridors of this game. The crafters of Alone In The Dark have fashioned innovative new graphic techniques for the game, bringing the fear factor to the brim with dimly lit caverns and lurking beasts that can only be found when shone upon with a flashlight. Venture deep into the darkness as paranormal investigator Edward Carnby in search of mysterious artifacts that led to the gruesome death of a friend. Somewhere in the chambers of Shadow Island lay three ancient tablets of immeasurable power. Fighting with only his wits and a scant supply of ammunition to battle back unspeakable foes, Edward had better reach the tablets in time before the creeping horror that ceaselessly haunt his path seize their ghastly powers.
