One of the most intriguing and well-executed elements of this adventure is the inventory and item system. This disconnect keeps Alone in the Dark from reaching its full potential, but doesn't keep it from presenting a unique and often rewarding action adventure experience for those with the patience to stick with it.Īs the gruff, amnesiac protagonist, you make your way through a disaster-struck New York City into Central Park, where you begin to unravel the many mysteries before you. There are a number of great elements here that are regrettably hampered by pervasive technical shortcomings.

This unease is not born of the dark, sinister plot or engendered by your unholy, malevolent foes rather, it is spawned from the sizable rift between the game's celestial aspirations and terrestrial execution. Playing through Alone in the Dark, you begin to feel a creeping sensation that something is not quite right.
