[edit] Plot

Set during 2006, the story continues with Edward Carnby, the main protagonist from the original game, looking for answers to strange supernatural and bizarre occurrences while battling his way through the opposition in New York City's Central Park. It has been mentioned that Atari wouldn't reveal exactly how Carnby is still running around in present day considering that the first installment took place during 1926, but the game is most likely a franchise reboot. Condensed portions of the game were seen during the E3 2006 presentation.

[edit] About the game

Taking the fear to a new level, the next-gen Alone in the Dark features the macabre style of the series played with new gameplay mechanics and a broader-reaching, action-packed play style. Explore fully-interactive realtime worlds, interacting with physics and roaming the wide-open, fright-filled environments. Developer Eden Games has mentioned that they want the structure of the game to be in a similar manner as the television shows, like 24 and Alias. Nadal stated that the storyline will be presented as "episodic content completely structured to the gameplay."

[edit] Features

The game has been hailed by the producers and developers to be open-ended and expansive. One such feature is the hot-wiring mini game. In one dire moment, the character may need to commander a car by hot-wiring. This will initiate a mini game, where Edward will rip the wires out of said car and try to start the engine. He could either succeed and be able to drive the car, or blare the car horn loudly, alerting enemies to his presence.

As game development continues, more details are set to be revealed.
