Alone in the Dark
鬼屋魔影
Alone in the Dark, developed by Infogrames in 1992, is a survival horror adventure for DOS where players investigate the mysterious Derceto Manor. Players can assume the role of either Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood. The game employs isometric perspective with pre-rendered backgrounds to create 3D environments. Exploration and combat use point-and-click controls. Players solve environmental puzzles, manage limited inventory space, and fight creatures using firearms and melee weapons. The manor contains multiple connected rooms and floors requiring key collection and puzzle-solving to progress through the structure. Different player choices throughout the investigation lead to distinct story endings, creating multiple narrative paths.
