Alone in the Dark is the fifth video game in the Alone in the Dark franchise published by Atari, and was created as a reboot of sorts for the series, now in development at French studio Eden Games, released in the middle of 2008 for platforms like PC or Xbox 360, and later in the year for the PlayStation 3, in the form of the Inferno edition, while Hidravision Entertainment converted it for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii.
The game introduces a new main character, Edward Carnby, who is a paranormal investigator that suffers from amnesia while being captured by shady criminals. He must then try to fend off various kinds of human enemies, while they are all under threat by evil paranormal forces. He also needs to solve various kinds of puzzles throughout the single-player campaign, which is spread out as a DVD, with episodes that can be played in whichever order the player wants.
