Alone in the Dark is one of the first survival horror games and the first to utilize 3D models superimposed on pre-rendered backgrounds, which would become a key inspiration for upcoming horror games at the time, like the Resident Evil franchise. The player can use various weapons, such as pistol, rifle, swords and knives, though it is possible to kill most enemies with melee attacks. Some opponents can be beaten by solving a particular puzzle, while a significant number of opponents cannot be killed at all or only with certain weapons.

Just finished going through this, its quite fun but aged poorly and the controls aren't the best but otherwise it was certainly fun to play and go through.

Melone in the Dark: A modern, freeware, somewhat silly nostalgic tribute/parody of the original Alone in the Dark (1992). It's very melon-themed, hence the awful pun in the title. I haven't played it yet, but I'm about to and I've been told that it's a little gem, well worth checking out for fans of the original. <3

Finally, I've got this gaming classic on my played list. It was totally different from what I expected. Definitely more colourful, with polygon monsters that looked and moved like something out of a children's book, which, however, made the game all the more scary.

Definitely more colourful, with polygon monsters that looked and moved like something out of a children's book, which, however, made the game all the more scary. Hated the controls like everyone seems to do, used a hint here and there because I got seriously stuck at times. Also, I seem to be the only player in the world to have chosen Emily Hartwood as my character. I originally thought I'd go back and replay as the detective, but I think I don't love the game that much...maybe some time in the future, when the horrors of the clunky interface shall have faded from my mind.

Gosh this sale is unreal! I already own half of these games somewhere but it's just too convenient to have the nice and easy DRM-free GOG stuff. And thank you Lord Gog for being so much kinder than Lord Gaben, they adjust the prices with regard to currency so I don't get ripped off even though our currency sucks. Can't …
Gosh this sale is unreal! I already own half of these games somewhere but it's just too convenient to have the nice and easy DRM-free GOG stuff. And thank you Lord Gog for being so much kinder than Lord Gaben, they adjust the prices with regard to currency so I don't get ripped off even though our currency sucks. Can't wait to re-play Alone In The Dark (1992) again, it's been too long! <3 And this Elminage Gothic game looks brutal as hell so cool. Well $13 ain't bad, that's less than a couple mangos at the moment in the supermarket.
