Alone in the Dark (1992) Retrospective | So, How Was It?

The original Alone in the Dark is a quintessential piece of survival horror history and a classic for a reason. In this video, we're taking a quick look at its development history, then the game itself and finally, the future of the series. I personally had never played this game before, so it's a fresh, exciting experience for me as well! NOTE: Alone in the Dark's ending contains four bars of music from Symphony No.9 in Em, the second movement, by Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1893. That particular part has been flagged by a third party, so don't fret, if I decided to mute those couple of seconds from the ending somewhere in the future!
