The original Alone in the Dark was revolutionary, for the time. Skeptical as I am about attempts to play on classic stories and high-profile names, I recently spent time with Pieces Interactive and THQ Nordic's upcoming reboot of the series, one that revisits the setting of the 1992 game that practically invented survival horror. To my pleasure, I found that, true to their word, it wasn't an attempt to recreate or reboot the first game. Instead, it's something different. It's a new and fascinating story drawing on the same elements that I love: cosmic horror, detective fiction, psychological horror, and the good old Southern Gothic.
Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood's trip to the plantation house at Derceto has one goal: To find Emily's uncle Jeremy, a painter and—from society's view—a madman. The backdrop of mental health treatment is obviously a goldmine for easy atmosphere and spooky setups, but the mansion itself was pretty enjoyable to move through. Alone in the Dark's cosmic horror comes in part from the journey to and through dreamscapes conjured from Jeremy's memories. The mansion itself seems to have a kind of memory as well, as at any point the subtlest action on your part can plunge you into a temporary nightmare version of Derceto—a landscape of rot and decay, or one rife with monsters, or one seemingly drawn from the plantation burning during the Civil War.

It draws on the Southern Gothic tradition, because this place has a history that's as unsettling as its current events. Notes and trinkets you find inform you of that history, helping you to guess at what came before. Some of that you don't have to guess at, though. Solving bits of occult puzzle around the mansion lets you use a talisman, Jeremy's handiwork, to travel into dreamworlds as diverse as French Quarter New Orleans street, a swamp oil derrick, or a sprawling chunk of a mausoleum-riddled cemetery.
These places are where most of the action takes place. Those fights felt fine, not too smooth and not too restrictive, but the combat isn't the primary draw of survival horror. I felt challenged enough, but I don't think this is the main appeal here. You're coming for the characters and stories and to get scared by the monsters—not to fight them—so I was glad to see the option for stealth presented as a primary choice several times.
The other thing giving life to this new Alone in the Dark? The clear work that has gone into environment design, the flow of the plot, and the interaction between the two.
