Alone In The Dark

Alone In The Dark

Alone in the Dark is a survival horror video game series originally developed by Infogrames. In most of the games, the player controls private investigator Edward Carnby, who goes to investigate a haunted house or town that is full of undead creatures. The series, particularly for its debut game, is widely acknowledged as an early instance of survival horror video games and is often credited with the creation of the genre. The original story was based on the writings of H. P. Lovecraft; later games in the series drew inspiration from other sources including voodoo, the Wild West, and the works of H. R. Giger. Six installments of the series have been created, with various themes and locations. Two comic books and two films were created based upon the games. In September 2018, Atari SA sold the Alone in the Dark franchise to THQ Nordic.
