THQ Nordic Showcases Alone in the Dark, Prologue Demo Available Now

[T0@st]

In the upcoming Alone in the Dark, players can choose between two protagonists to experience the haunting story: Emily Hartwood and Edward Carnby. To bring these two iconic characters to life, the developers partnered up with famous actors Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, Free Guy) and David Harbour (Stranger Things, Black Widow), who will lend their voices, their appearance, and their formidable acting skills to the protagonists. Depending on who you play, you will get a different take on the same story. You can see both of them in action in the new spotlight video, showcasing a ton of gameplay.

Looks interesting but THQ are crazy to release it one week after Alan Wake 2. Gonna bomb hard.

I really liked the original, as well as the later sequels in 2001 (The new nightmare) and 2008 (soft reboot). The sequels were somewhat flawed, but still fun to play (OK, that car escape while the whole city collapses was a tad out of place and reminiscent of a blockbuster disaster film, but still)-.

Can't say I'm the least intrigued by the direction this is taking. All environments look too well lit, the facial expressions don't seem to be super impressive and the gameplay looks a bit uninspiring. Don't know if it was the best idea to release this sort of 'making of' video as a first impression, instead of the more traditional gameplay reveal or simply a trailer.

I got Alone in the Dark first game on floppy sitting right above me right now.

Damn I look forward to this. But I bet I will be disappointed.
