Alone In The Dark promises to bring us a great, intense story in a similar way to the TV season-style keeping the player hooked on the action, plot twists and cliff hangers. The good thing is that, in Alone In The Dark, you will not be stuck, ever - it has a DVD-like menu allowing you to select which chapter to play (except for the grand finale, of course, which requires a certain amount of the game to be finished before it gets unlocked). A decision both good and bad, depending on your being a casual or hardcore gamer.

Of course, the most interesting thing when we think about Alone in the Dark's gameplay is the promised level of environmental interaction: Atari claims that, while playing it, you will be able to do everything you can in real life when it comes to interaction - this means that you can basically combine any item with another and create your unique tool or weapon. And we can hardly wait to give it a try!

Also, the player is plunged into the heart of the battle with an in-game inventory system, on-body damage and healing system and physiological effects. Unique physics and light rendering are applied to the real-looking fire which propagates realistically across all flammable surfaces. Fire is a valuable ally, but can become your worst enemy; anyway, you'll have lots of fun. As a proof, we have the public achievements for you (the secret ones are still... hmm... secret!)
