Alone in the Dark might be better than Resident Evil in some cases, especially for those who enjoy Lovecraftian elements more than your typical zombie style game. GOG presents us with some amazing opportunity to get our hands on the classic trilogy for free while the offer lasts, the cool part of GOG giving free games is the fact that they aren’t bound by DRM or behind a launcher. Compared to other stores in the market GOG is one that still respects the right of ownership that others should respect, but in this new digital age it seems like that becomes a pipe dream.
Alone in the Dark is a classic
This classic horror title has everything you could expect on a masterpiece, whoever criticism towards it is rather divisive despite the quality. Alone in the Dark has us investigating a mansion in Louisiana, where the forces of evil seem to lurk and have already snuffed some lives away. In spite of that we get ready to investigate what caused the downfall of Jeremy Hartwood, the man who killed himself because he couldn’t face against the horrors in it. It is clear that the game deals more with psychological horror in a similar fashion to Silent Hill.
Tons of puzzles abound in the mansion, and solving each one of them can prove to be a tricky task, but you will need to do so if you wanna uncover the mystery of what really happened that day in Derceto. You are alone, in the dark cast by this mansion, and only your wits and cunning are the tools you have to try and solve the mystery and get out alive before its too late. Remember that the offer for the trilogy will only last until February 5th, so snag it before it ends, you won’t regret having this one in your library.
