‘Alone in the Dark’ Stacks up the Accolades in New Trailer [Watch]
Just in case you haven’t picked up Alone in the Dark yet, Pieces Interactive and THQ Nordic have released a new Accolades trailer for the reimagining of the cult classic “that set the benchmark for an entire genre.” Mixed in amongst the quotes and scores are various clips and quips from Alone in the Dark‘s eclectic cast of characters, as well as scenes of the various Eldritch horrors Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood face throughout the game.
And if the accolades trailer still hasn’t convinced you to plunk your cash down for Alone in the Dark, you can also check out the free Prologue, which is still very much available.
A reimagining of the 1992 cult classic, Alone in the Dark (which our own Harrison Abbott says you should definitely check out “if you have an affinity for classic survival horror”) is set in the gothic American south in the 1920’s, in the haunting Derceto Manor, where players take on the roles of Emily Hardwood and Edward Carnby, portrayed by Jodie Comer (FreeGuy, Killing Eve) and David Harbour (Stranger Things, Hellboy). Together, they must unravel the disappearance of Emily’s uncle, delving deep into the secrets that shroud the manor’s dark past. Along with solving puzzles, you’ll have to confront the terrifying entities that inhabit the manor along the way to uncover the truth.
Alone in the Dark is available on PC via Steam, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5.
Initially revealed last July, PQube and developer Electric Monkeys’ gothic horror survival title When the Light Dies is out now in Early Access on Steam. Complementing the release is a new trailer/gameplay guide. According to the press release, Electric Monkeys plans on having the roguelike to be fully released in September 2024.
According to the developer, the Early Access period will allow them to polish and address player feedback for When the Light Dies, releasing new updates containing everything from new enemies, weapons, items, passive upgrades, and dark magic abilities, to end-of-stage bosses. In fact, the next update for When the Light Dies is expected on May 28, which will include new items, a new weapon and an additional boss encounter “to add an extra level of challenge”.
When the Light Dies is a survival game with roguelite elements set in a desolate, frozen wilderness. You are a lone survivor fighting to keep the darkness and the horrors that lurk within it at bay. To do so, you must utilize your arsenal of weapons to hold back waves of creatures closing in from all directions.
That’s on top of keeping the light burning by lighting scattered firepits around you. You’ll of course have to refill your oil lantern to keep your path lit. As the light levels drop so does your sanity, resulting in faster and more deadly adversaries.
Right now, you can snag When the Light Dies with a 10% discount until May 16th.
