Belgian retailer Smartoys posted a listing for the game, which appears to be published by THQ Nordic, along with box art and some screenshots. This was then backed up by reputable insider AestheticGamer, who shared more information and screenshots on Twitter. According to the product description on the Smartoys page, the theme for the new Alone in the Dark will be “psychological horror meets Southern Gothic”. THQ Nordic - Digital Showcase trailerSubscribe to VGC on YouTube “This love letter to the cult ’90s game will take you through a story that’s as sinister as it is memorable through the eyes of one of the two protagonists,” it reads. “Playing as Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood, explore the various environments, fight monsters, solve puzzles and discover the terrible truth about the mansion of Derceto. “In the deep south of the United States during the years 1920, Emily Hartwood’s uncle disappears. Accompanied by the private detective Edward Carnby, she goes looking for him in the manor of Derceto, a mental asylum where something is lurking. “You will encounter strange occupants, nightmarish kingdoms, dangerous monsters, and uncover an evil conspiracy. At the confluence of reality, mystery and madness, the adventure that awaits you risks undermining your certainties. Who are you going to trust, what are you going to believe, and what are you going to do next?” Notice: To display this embed please allow the use of Functional Cookies in Cookie Preferences. Although the shop listing almost certainly confirmed the game’s existence, AestheticGamer then took to Twitter to further confirm it. “Indeed, Alone in the Dark 1 is being remade in the style of Resident Evil 2,” they tweeted. “Be announced properly later today. Southern Gothic horror with Lovecraft. Story by the guy who wrote Soma and Amnesia: The Dark Descent.” THQ Nordic will be hosting a digital showcase today at 12pm noon PT / 3pm ET / 8pm BST, so it’s likely the game will be officially announced there. The original Alone in the Dark is credited for being a forefather to the survival horror genre, releasing four years before the original Resident Evil. The game is set in 1920s Louisiana and tasks its protagonists, Edward and Emily, with escaping a haunted mansion. 1 Comment Related VGC Content Biomutant is coming to Switch according to a retailer listing1 month ago THQ Nordic has teased a new South Park video game1 month ago Here’ s everything shown during the THQ Nordic Showcase 20221 month ago Alone in the Dark revealed Watch the first gameplay1 month ago Popular Now on VGC1 Harley Quinn voice actor criticises Chris Pratt Mario casting ‘ It should be Charles’ 2 Phil Spencer could be teasing Xbox s game streaming device in a new office photo3 Interview How PlatinumGames is betting on Nintendo expertise to shape its future4 Modern Warfare 2 will seemingly require a phone number like Overwatch 25 Platinum thinks hiring of Nintendo veteran can take the companies relationship to the next level More Video Game News1 Sega claims again that Sonic Frontiers won’ t be delayed"We do not consider postponing the launch at this point"1 month ago1 Comment1 US PlayStation shipments were reportedly up 400% last monthPS5 supply appears to be increasing as Christmas approaches1 hour ago1 Comment Overwatch 2 servers down for some as Blizzard removes two heroes temporarilyThe game's rocky launch has caused much fan frustration2 hours ago Unity wins contract with US Government DefenseEmployees have previously spoken out against Unity's government work1 month agoBy commenting on this article you agree to adhere to VGC’s community guidelines.
