New Trailer for ‘Alone in the Dark’ Shows off New Unedited Gameplay [Watch]
Given how awesome Alan Wake II is, THQ Nordic was right to delay the release of Alone in the Dark. Plus, it gave them another excuse to tease fans with a new eight-minute gameplay trailer for the upcoming reimagining. Titled “Looking for Jeremy”, the new Alone in the Dark trailer features plenty of “unedited” gameplay scenes, as well as a peek at the various enemies and environments Emily Hartwood and private investigator Edward Carnby will face.
The description for the gameplay trailer reads: “After receiving a mysterious letter, Emily and Private Investigator Edward are arriving at the Derceto Manor to uncover unexplainable happenings and to find Jeremy! Who can you trust, what will you believe, and what will you do next?”
A love letter to the ground-breaking original, Alone in the Dark allows players to experience the haunting story by Mikael Hedberg (SOMA, Amnesia: The Dark Descent) through the eyes of one of the two protagonists: play as Edward Carnby, portrayed by David Harbour (Stranger Things, Hellboy), or Emily Hartwood, portrayed by Jodie Comer (Free Guy, Killing Eve) in this reimagined classic survival horror game, where psychological horror meets southern gothic. Explore your surroundings, battle monsters, solve puzzles, and uncover the unsettling truth of Derceto Manor.
Alone in the Dark will arrive January 16th, 2024 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
Puppet Combo are once again taking it old-school in more ways than one. Originally released in 2019 on itch.io, the developer has announced that their PS2 Survival Horror-inspired title The Glass Staircase will be headed to Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch on May 24.
Described as “a short-form old-school psychological horror game”, The Glass Staircase takes place in 1922, inside a dilapidated estate converted into an orphanage. Four girls attempt to survive long enough to complete their chores and find a new home. As these things go, unknowable horrors have punctuated the history of the house, and they’re about to learn about them the hard way.
Rather than focusing on grotesque slasher horror, The Glass Staircase is a surreal and atmospheric game, inspired by PS2 survival horror titles like Silent Hill 2 and the GameCube classic Eternal Darkness. Of course, you have to toss in those classic 80s Italian horror movies such as The Beyond, House by the Cemetery, and Suspiria.
Players will be able to customize their experience in The Glass Staircase with a selection of control styles (including the classic tank controls), graphical modes, and CRT effects. You can go for the classic lo-fi experience, or opt for something more modern.
