One of video gaming’s original innovators, Alone in the Dark returns to
revolutionise action gaming with an apocalyptic action blockbuster set
in New York’s iconic Central Park.
Central Park is hiding a secret. Built as a safe haven not only for
the people of New York, but for something else entirely, generations of
guardians have long protected the truth, preserving the vast parkland
while the most expensive city in the world reached skyward on its
fringes. Now the truth can no longer be contained, and paranormal
investigator Edward Carnby finds himself inexplicably cast into the eye
of the storm as over the course of one apocalyptic night he must
uncover the earth-shattering secret behind Central Park. New York will
never be the same again.
Inspired by the gripping style of contemporary TV dramas, the game
delivers a new degree of narrative intensity, presented as a complete
season format of episodes each containing action, twists and
cliff-hangers. Bursting with innovative technology, including
unprecedented environmental interaction, revolutionary physics,
advanced artificial intelligence, stunning visuals, and uniquely
immersive user interface, Alone in the Dark breaks gaming clichés to
fulfil the next-gen promise and deliver a new kind of entertainment
experience.
