Alone in the Dark (2024) is a new game in the series that was at the origins of the survival horror genre. If in the first parts the heroes looked like simple three-dimensional models made of a few polygons, now their appearance is based on real actors. From this article, you will learn who played the characters in the fresh Alone in the Dark.
The original Alone in the Dark was released in 1992. Today, it's hard to understand what could have scared players, but 22 years ago, the appearance of zombies or a giant worm caused genuine fear. Soon, sequels began to appear, followed by reboots and spin-offs. The most innovative among them was the 2008 project, in which the horror gameplay combines with realistic physics of objects and the ability to set everything around on fire. The new game retells the story of Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood.
