Games Master UKAmbitious but inconsistent, frustrating but entertaining. Still an innovative adventure. [Aug 2008, p.62]
-
Maxi Consolas (Portugal)A mix of revolutionary ideas and clumsy execution, Alone in the Dark is like a giant with clay feet. The way it marries new concepts with an old fashion control scheme of the character, not to mention some technical flaws, leaves us with a game that is frequently frustrating and only sometimes brilliant. [July 2008]

The monsters hunt Edward and one idea hunts the other. This game is not perfect but you definitely won’t get bored with it!

X-ONE Magazine UKWe so wanted to like this game but it kept slapping us in the face with bad controls, repetitive puzzles and the annoying inventory. [Issue#34]

Pelit (Finland)Great cinematic looks and fresh ideas don't amount to much if they don't serve the game. Clumsy controls and annoying deaths ruin a game that has a lot of potential. Also the constant swearing feels tacked on and childish. [Aug 2008]

The game can be compared to an agressive puppy without potty-training. You want to keep him so badly, but everytime it seems to go right, it bites, scratches and sh.ts on your carpet.

Is there anything good about Alone in the Dark? The fire effects are stunning and the music theme is quite good. Other than that though, nothing.

JackyB.Jun 18, 2008One hell of a game. The deep atmosphere created by Eden Games is pioneer to the new genre "Survival Experience."

[Anonymous]Jun 24, 2008Controls and Annoying moments aside - at least they tried something new. A mixed bag, but one worth playing.
