Review of Alone in the Dark

This game was really tough but the atmosphere of the haunted house Edward Carnby is investigating was awesome - especially by 1992 standards. The controls are a bit floaty and the game can be devilishly difficult at times but it is the early gold standard for survival adventure games.

It also did a good job of presenting an interesting story and some interesting puzzles. They often fall into the hunt for key open door category but the game did a good job of dressing them up and really utilizing that unique atmosphere.
