Over three decades have passed since the launch of the original ‘Alone in the Dark’ game, which became an instant classic on the MS-DOS platform. Now, the iconic survival horror game is set for a revival this year, boasting some impressive names from Hollywood and a terrifyingly twisted storyline.
A Star-Studded Cast and Intense Psychological Horror
This highly anticipated reboot involves the talents of ‘Killing Eve’ star Jodie Comer and ‘Stranger Things’ actor David Harbour. They lend their voices and likenesses to the dual protagonists, Emily Hartwood and Edward Carnby, as they navigate the eerie corridors of a haunted mansion.
Mikael Hedberg, the creative mind behind the gripping narratives of ‘SOMA’ and ‘Amnesia’, has designed the plot, promising a richly woven tale of psychological horror that’s bound to keep players on edge.
Comer and Harbour’s characters offer players a unique experience as each provides a distinct perspective on the unfolding events within ‘Alone in the Dark’. You can catch a glimpse of their individual roles in the newly released trailer.
