Product description

Uncover the earth-shattering secret hidden in New York's iconic Central Park in Alone In The Dark. History records that Central Park was built on a useless swamp, yet as the New York City skyline hurtled towards the sky over the last 150 years, making the city the most expensive real estate in the world, the park has remained untouched. Why? Civic pride? Perhaps, but the recent strange happenings in and around the park are casting doubt on that, doubts that require investigating. Edward Carnby, Paranormal Investigator is looking for answers to the strange events and horrific creatures reported in and around the park, but gets more than he bargained for when all the mysteries and terrors of the park spill out over the course of one apocalyptic night. It's your task to avoid the new frightening dangers of the park as you search for the answers to what these supernatural occurrences mean and why they are happening.

Amazon.com

There?s something strange and frightening happening in the middle of New York City?s Central Park; something whispered to have been intentionally kept secret; something that players are compelled to explore in Alone in the Dark.

Known today as a safe haven for New Yorkers yearning for relief from the stresses of their chaotic metropolis, history records that Central Park was built on a useless swamp, yet as the New York City skyline hurtled towards the sky over the last 150 years, making the city the most expensive real estate in the world, the park has remained untouched. Why? Civic pride? Perhaps, but the recent strange happenings in and around the park are casting doubt on that, doubts that require investigating.

Enter Edward Carnby, Paranormal Investigator
Despite the title, Alone in the Dark is actually the fifth game in a series that dates back to 1992 and centers around the experiences of Edward "the reptile" Carnby. A paranormal investigator by trade, Carnby is looking for answers to the strange events and horrific creatures reported in and around the park, but gets more than he bargained for when all the mysteries and terrors of the park spill out over the course of one apocalyptic night. It?s the player?s task to avoid the new frightening dangers of the park as you search for the answers to what these supernatural occurrences mean and why they are happening.

Gameplay Based on Full Player Immersion
Packed full of action and vivid in its realism Alone in the Dark goes to the extreme to keep players engaged and immersed by plunging them into the heart of the action in real-time at every turn and challenging them to survive using full movement control. The goal here is to allow players to do or at least feel that they can do more or less whatever is possible in real life, within the game.

Need to avoid a blast of steam or an eruption of fire that has shot up in your path? You can simply side-step it or you can handle the obstacle with a little more panache by using the environment around you, for example by swinging around it using reachable pipes or wires. In another situation you may be challenged by attacking monsters. No problem. You can take the path of least resistance, again by side-stepping them or placing an obstacle between yourself and them, but if you are feeling like taking out a little aggression you can pick up a board, chair, box, etc. and have at it. Nearly anything that you come across that would be usable in real life is usable in game and can be wielded in several different ways.

In addition, game developer Eden Studios has done away with a few in-game conventions in favor of real life upgrades. Instead of old-fashioned health bars Alone in the Dark uses realistic body damage and physiological effects to show players how much damage has been done to Carnby by the new dangerous nightlife of Central Park. Basically this means if Carnby has been taking a licking he?s going to be a little bloody. Monsters use sensory perception of all kinds to find their victims, so players need to keep aware of Carnby?s physical state, as well as the impact he has on his surroundings. Also gone are traditional inventory systems that take players out of the game while you switch or check items in your possession, replaced by an in-game inventory system where items are carried in the folds of Carnby?s trench coat. This allows you to stay in the action the whole time. Sticking with the realism theme, the number of items that Carnby can carry is limited, but since ingenuity is built into the system, items can be combined or their uses altered, mostly with tape, so players can adjust as challenges arise.

TV Style Intensity That Keeps You Hooked
Built around a unique television style episodic narrative game structure, the storyline of Alone in the Dark is split into a number of distinct 30-40 minute episodes, doled out one at a time as you play. This new way to progress through the storyline ensures that players can enjoy the game regardless of the amount of time they have available without ever feeling lost. Each time a saved game is launched, the episode will begin with a video summary of the previous episode to quickly re-immerse the player in the story, removing the need to remember where you were or what you were doing at the end of your last play session. In addition, every episode will also close with a nail-biting, cliff-hanger ending to rattle players? nerves. And when you choose to leave the game, a video teaser of the next episode will play to leave players always wanting more.

Vivid Photographic Rendering
Even on a bad day, and this will be a bad one, Central Park and New York City are something to see. With Game developer Eden?s proprietary Twilight technology and rendering engine, players can expect to see everything from the City?s famous landmarks to the manifestations of the evil that have been festering in Central Park come to life as if you were there. This lavishly detailed game world takes advantage of highly realistic and advanced cinematographic effects including depth of field, camera focus, numerous light sources, moisture, reflections and High Dynamic Range effects.

Whether it?s the innovative game play, the unique episodic game structure, the advanced physics or the return of a ground-breaking protagonist recast in the modern era, Alone in the Dark holds something for players willing to take on the mysteries and dangers at the heart of Central Park.

Don't do it!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2010

Worst controls I've ever had for a console gaming system. It has 1st person and 3rd person. Your character walks slower than an 80 year old lady even though there's a fire and buildings are crashing around him and there's some crazy malevolent force trying to eat you. If you go into first person view to see what you're doing or get a better angle on something, it kicks back to 3rd person as soon as you turn a certain way. It literally would not stay in first person for the life of me. And to walk, you use one stick to move forward and one stick to move directionally....it was horribly done. It wasn't scary at all, either. I gave up on this one, I wouldn't recommend even borrowing it from someone, it's that bad. Don't waste the time turning on your console to play this...that bad.

Terrible. Just...Terrible.

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2013

Platform For Display: Xbox 360Verified Purchase

Are you one of those people that enjoys pain and self torture? Does the idea of poking yourself in the eye with a sharp object sound pleasurable to you? Then look no further - this game is for you! I'm actually very disappointed in myself. I typically read multiple reviews prior to buying a game and, for the most part, I am influenced on whether or not to spend any money on it based on those reviews. However, for whatever reason, I let my curiousity get the best of me this time. I ignored the scathing reviews and actually let the one or two decent reviews talk me into buying this farce of a game. How diasppointed was I? Well, I spent $3.99 + shipping, so about $7.00 total. That's a complete meal at Taco Bell. I'd have gotten 1,000 times more enjoyment out of some Taco Bell tacos than I did with this piece of crap. It's really like I spent $7.00 for someone to kick me in the sack...hard.

Why am I making this game sound so terrible? Because it's terrible. Unplayable. I can't remember the last time I started playing a game and was already yelling at my TV in frustration less than 10 minutes in. Oh wait, yes I can, it was the last time I tried to play this POS. If this game has any redeeming quality whatsoever, it's that it looks good. The graphics are clean and well done. The good points end there. Regardless of how good it looks, you can't enjoy it because you'll be too frustrated trying to control the idiot protagonist. I read a review on this game that described the controls as being similar to a tank with a broken engine. That is spot on. Just trying to move the jerk so you can focus on a specific point is like pulling teeth. Trying to actually platform is even more of a joke. Sometimes, the B button will be jump. Other times it will be drop down. I guess it's whatever the game decides at any given time. And combat? YIKES. You "focus" on an enemy and "swing" the right stick to hit enemies with whatever object you can find. After 50 or so shots to the head with a chair, the enemy will drop...for a few seconds...and get right back up unless you drag the limp body over some fire to fully kill it. Sound stupid? It is. Very. The sound of the game is also lame. The voice acting is hilariously bad. Like something out of a C movie. Not a B movie, a C movie.

So let's see...it controls like crap, sounds like crap, has a convoluted story that I never got into because the game is so crappy that I couldn't bare to continue past the first 45 minutes, and well, it's just crap. To anyone that claims to have played all the way through this game and considers it a "hidden gem" is EASILY entertained, has an unnatural patience level and has likely never played a truly decent game. Otherwise, I can really think of no reason anyone would derive any type of pleasure from this title. The developers of this game should be embarrassed to have been a part of this POS. I'm actually embarrassed to have it on my shelf. I tried to give it to my neighbor - for free - and I got a response of, "No thanks, dude." He must've read the reviews that I ignored.

This game is easily in the top 5 worst games I've ever played in my life, and that's after only playing 45 minutes of it. I refuse to give this farce any more of my time. If you're considering buying this game, don't. You've been warned.

Overall: 1/5 - I'd TOTALLY give it a 0/5 if possible.

Utter Crap

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2013

Platform For Display: Xbox 360Verified Purchase

I was hoping this was going to be somewhat decent as the other alone in the dark games for the PS were fun. Reviews for games (with the exception of the blockbuster title that always scores high) have always been hit or miss for me. About half the time I'll like a title that was given a low score. This time I should have listened. The controls are broken, the camera is horrendous, the voice acting is bad and item management/use was badly implemented. Interaction with the environment is tedious as you have to go through multiple menus just to do something as simple as starting a car. It may be a different game but in GTIV all you had to do was press one button to open in the door, get in, and start the engine. I really wanted to like this game as I have enjoyed many survival horror games over the past couple of years. The level were you have to escape an earthquake in NYC was so poorly made that it was nearly impossible to play. Melee combat is clunky and will leave your character swing wildly while taking damage from the enemies. Shooting is just as haphazard. Steer clear of this piece of... well, you know.

Platform For Display: Xbox 360Verified Purchase

I really tired to like this game, it had a lot of potential with the whole being able to make household items into weapons. As you can guess based on my 2 stars it failed its potential. The controls are complicated for no reason and the constant moving between 1st and 3rd person is frustrating not to mention the fighting is the least bit exciting. Seriously I know its cheap but not even worth the 6 bucks. Go spend it at subway or something

Alone in the Dark ist ein spannendes aktionspiel, teilweise brutal und eklig.Definitiv nicht für Jugendliche unter 18 Jahre geeignet. Der Spieler kämpft mit oder gegen mutierten Menschen und anderen lebewesen. Ich persönlich habe teilweise nicht viel Erfolg , bin diejenige die stirbt. Aber bloss nicht aufgeben.!!!!!!!!
