Alone in the Dark series of games
Alone in the Dark is a series of horror adventures that began in 1992. Some parts are connected by the same protagonist, but the events take place in different parts of the world.
The main idea of the series lies in the many monsters and paranormal phenomena that the protagonist encounters. Part of it can only be bypassed with the help of knowledge: for example, the animated knight’s armor can be destroyed with the help of a rag doll, and a gargoyle with the help of a mirror.
The Alone in the Dark series also managed to go through a “reboot”, but the new version of the game has gone through enormous changes and is not similar to the original.
