Conceived by Frédérick Raynal, the creative force behind Alone in the Dark, 2Dark is a retro-styled mix of stealth, horror and adventure game. Initially set for a 2016 release, it seems like the game will finally see the light of day this year, with a new story trailer to show for:



The premise of the game is as follows:
Plagued by a string of child abductions, darkness hangs over the once-picturesque city of Gloomywood like a curse. After witnessing the murder of his wife and abduction of his children, former detective Mr. Smith vows to find justice and bring an end to the misery.

Use your cunning to infiltrate Gloomywood’s bastions of cruelty. Investigate to uncover the secrets of the deranged psychopaths within, seek retribution for their crimes, and bring the captured children to safety. If only it were so simple…

2Dark offers a gritty and deceptively intricate new adventure of stealth and horror in which death is the only certainty.

  • Perfect your plan to infiltrate intricately handcrafted levels and escape with the children.
  • A nerve-wracking experience of ruthless consequences with only your wits to guide you.
  • Stick to the shadows and step carefully. Light and sound can be your allies, and your undoing.
  • Supplies are limited. From flashlight batteries to bullets, make every item count.
  • Investigate every nook and cranny to expose the sinister secrets behind the abductions, uncover new areas, and find every child.
  • Kids will be kids. Stop for too long and they'll fidget and cry, putting both of you in harm's way.
  • Break for a smoke to save your progress, but be wary of noisy coughing fits, and remember, smoking really does kill.

Lastly, here's a video of how the gameplay will look like:



Let's all hope it'll be out very soon™ to scare us silly!

Damn! This looks so interesting! The art direction is so strong with this one too. Great stuff, think its gonna be great.
EDIT: Ahh, looks its just cinematics T__T thought it was a point and click type of game. Still, it looks interesting.

God, Alone in the Dark is a really sad series. It started off with a high and declined in quality ever since. I can only hope that the original creator can revive it, but I'm skeptical.
The creator of AitD being behind it is what got my attention. The first two were what filled my childhood nightmares :mellow:

Maybe I'm just being pessimistic but the whole top down view and 'retro' visuals are becoming very generic and repetitively boring. I suppose it's easier than making a 3D game though they should aim for higher standards and some modernisation.

Not interested because of the artstyle and the top down perspective. Happy to see Frédérick back on it though. I loved the first game. Have yet to play 2 and 3, The New Nightmare was cool, but 2008 and Illumination are just complete jokes.

Mainly because he left the project after the first Alone in the Dark, so the following ones were not made by him (from what I read, he was against milking the franchise as they planned to do and as they did).
