ORIGINS OF SURVIVAL HORROR: ALONE IN THE DARK

#AloneInTheDark #AloneInTheDarkReview #SurvivalHorror #MonstersOfTheWeek #OriginsOfSurvivalHorror

In this mini-series, Origins of Survival Horror, we’re going to explore the games that preceded Resident Evil (the game that coined the term), but that were already full-blown survival horror games through and through.

Today, we’re covering the trailblazing 1992 horror adventure Alone in the Dark, developed by Infogrames and directed by Frérérick Raynal. Alone in the Dark was both technically and game-design wise absolutely ahead of its time, pioneering the fixed-camera/pre-rendered background technique paired with pretty much all the signature elements that Resident Evil would later define as Survival Horror.
Alone in the Dark would later be awarded the first-ever 3D Survival Horror game retroactively by the Guinnes Book of Records.
Let’s talk about what makes this game such a fascinating milestone of video game history, and thennnn also explore the not-so-shiny legacy of the franchise down through the years - up until today.
