I tried playing a free demo for this game when I was a kid; think it came with some kind of legacy collection my dad bought or something. I tried the first room a lot of times with no actual hint of what I was supposed to do. That was probably my first ragequit. Ah, the memories...
Weirdly comfortable videos, Not a style I see very often anymore. I’ve binged a few of your vids. Stay strong. I definitely think you need wayyy more recognition for your videos. Amazing stuff, keep it up ^w^
I found you from your video about OFF. I had never heard of the game but the name compelled me to know more about it. Thanks to that video I have found not one, but two of my favorite things. The first is OFF itself. And the second is your channel. I’m happy to let you know you have earned a long time fan.
You gotta understand; , we had NEVER seen a game do what this game did and it really was mind blowing to the PC scene at the time. It walked so Resident Evil and everything after could run. Yes, it's silly now to think that polygon'd fat killer birds scared the poop out of players, but it did. Even if it aged like milk, it's earned it's place in gaming history and I will always love it for the good times back then.
There was this guy, in 2011 that introduced me to this game his name was "Coolio The Gamer". Funniest videos I saw during those times. Hasn't uploaded in like 13 years? Still, thank you for making this video cause it feels like you reached into my brain and showed me a memory of when I was like 5.
Holy moly your videos are so good, keep it up man! i am sure you will make it up big, i hope i can be like you one day(when i have free time to make videos)
yeah, the fun part of playing old games is seeing stuff and going "man, why haven't we done stuff like that again!" but the down side is you'll also go "yep, its good we didn't do stuff like that again." example, just beat silent hill 2 for the first time. I love how pyramid head shows up there's nothing fancy about it, he just shows up with a sword or spear and beats the snot out of you. really takes you more by surprise when you don't hear his stomping or some themesong when he shows up like most modern big bad enemys. that being said, boy, the fact that I can't pick up anything in very visible and not that dimly lit area because my flashlight is off is stupid.
Played the first 3, jack in the dark and the gbc version of a new nightmare last year. Loved them all. Still need to play the rest. So psyched for the remake.
2:09 that attic/top level stairs has some kind of glitch that makes your character turn around and go upstairs again, which happens usually as a symptom of CPU cycles being too high. Other symptoms of high CPU cycles is difficulty to double tap forward to run (which you pointed out earlier in the video as well). I tried the game on DosBox and it works all controls work fine at 6000 CPU cycles. Increasing the CPU cycles to 8000 and above make running very difficult to execute.
Just discovered your content like an hour ago, and ive been binging ur vids since then !! i love a good commentary/analysis video on an obscure horror game i would otherwise have no idea about. im very excited for future content and growth of ur channel :]
Nice review! It reminded me of the the time when I was about 9 or 10 and my dad got me Alone In The Dark 4 for my PS2. I went into the first house, I talked to the npc then left the house and got jumpscared by him beeing killed by wolfs. I turned off the game at the speed of light and never touched It again, I even ended up having nightmares for a month. The good old times. Edit: After commenting, I thought to myself why not check out what scared me so much when I was younger. I did and yet again I got Jumpscared!
protip: it was basically expected at that point to have renameable savefiles with little to no obvious navigation on the save screen, i cannot count how many dos games i know of with very similar save screens to this. just a thing to remember if you ever end up playing more dos games, im sure there are some unfound gems out there after all
you should check out the game White Day: A Labyrinth Named School. Its from 2001 and it was remade in 2017. Its super interesting to me since it gives you the option to play WITHOUT any scares just for the story, something Ive never seen anything do before.
Nice video. You earned yourself a subscriber 😊 Would love to see you make a video about Clock Tower (1995) or even the entire Clock Tower series someday ;)
I couldn't beat it without a walkthrough. Even then, it was quite challenging. EDIT: If there is a re-make, I hope that Old Man Henderson makes a non-canonical appearance!
Great video! I found your channel today and watched most of your videos and they’re all great. I do have a game recommendation, even if you don’t want to turn it into a video. You should play OMORI if you haven’t already. It’s story and characters are phenomenal and the gameplay is also great. I just can’t recommend it enough to anyone who likes deep and depressing stories. Have a great rest of your week!
So, if you're interested in looking at the roots of survival horror, have you experienced/are you interested in experiencing Sweet Home, the game Resident Evil was originally going to be a remake of? I'd be curious what your thoughts on it are, whether you're going in blind or already aware of it.
You should try Resident Evil Deadly Silence! You'll be surprised with how interesting it is! But first maybe you'll have to do a bit of research to know what it is if u don't know already of course!
As an 18-year old (as of leaving this comment) I do understand that Alone in the Dark is rather clunky nowadays, but it's still one of my all-time favourite games and my first playthrough was truly something special If it wasn't for this game, I don't think I would have ever given the horror genre a chance
when you said ‘as a 19 year old in 2023,’ i had to pause the video to process the fact that you’re only a year older than me. your videos are great - you speak clearly and coherently, getting your point across concisely, and what you have to say is really interesting. more power to you for getting through this janky game, and i hope you keep making videos (especially about the strange men anthology, your video’s got me playing the crooked man and it’s an awesome game i wouldn’t have found without your video, so thank you)
Same. I'm a year older than him but it feels more like as if he's, I don't know? 25 or something just because all of his videos are done so goddamn well.
It's honestly hard to believe you haven't been making videos for longer than a month. After watching all of your videos, it's insane how great the quality of your videos is and yet you don't have more subs! There's a lot of people who have said that already, but seriously, your content slaps (in a good way). I'm glad I'll be able to say I've been here since under 5 thousand subs lol. We will watch your career with great interest!
The reason you were probably having a hard time "sprinting" was because you are most likely using a modern keyboard. During the DOS era, keyboards naturally had what was called a "half press" state. Meaning that the keys could be lightly pressed for certain functions, or really hard pressed "full press" for another. Usually only the arrow keys had this function, but there were many keyboards that had all the keys with this function. It was because for typing, you could only use the arrow keys to move your position when typing (aka no mouse). So a "half press" moved you one position at a time slowly, and a "full press" moved your position either really fast or to the end of the column/row. Modern keyboards don't typically have this function anymore and are usually an off/on thing. Or, if the function is in the keyboard, you have to long press the key to activate a "full press." You can get modern keyboards that have that old functionality, but they are more expensive, generally considering "loud" for the clacking noise, but they are very customizable. I agree that a lot of the older games (especially DOS) were needlessly hard and/or had really clunky mechanics. However, modern games are stupidly easy in comparison and in order to make a game "harder" they generally just make all the enemies into bullet sponges while also limiting your ammo. Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of modern games and there are some older games that I would legitimately NEVER play again because of how stupidly hard they are. However, I feel like the older games had an excuse that everything was experimental (ESPECIALLY control mapping) with no set rules. And sometimes the no set rules created some really unique games with interesting gameplay mechanics that have been used a lot to standardize modern games. I wish that more modern games were a bit more experimental without every game journalist needlessly critiquing it unfairly for trying something new. For instance, people heavily critiqued the fact that Skyward Sword had a stamina wheel that was new to the Zelda series. Honestly, I think that the addition was great and inventive to make Link feel more like a real person that could get tired and it made the game interesting so that you had to be more tactful in how you fought/did puzzles. However, several years later BOTW comes out and they didn't really critique the stamina wheel half as much (though there were a fair bit who still hate it) because it added more depth to Link's fighting ability. The also improved the function by allowing players to upgrade how much stamina that they could work with. It's this kind of experimental gameplay mechanics that make games more interesting. It's just too bad that the game journalist's really focused on hating the fact that weapons had a durability that would make them break (which technically isn't a new mechanic in rpgs, but is in hack & slash games). But that has even evolved in the new Tears of the Kingdom if you look at the Nintendo directs that show gameplay of Link being able to modify weapon durability.
@@J-B4R I only found out about the upgradable stamina wheel in SotC five years after I had played the game the first time around, lol. I was complaining to a friend about the final boss being really hard on the stamina circle, and he was like, "Didn't you get all the geckos?" Meanwhile, I'm like,"WTF are you talking about?" In the remake, I collected all the geckos.
It's double-tap to sprint... but it requires a VERY precise double-tap timing, probably because Infogrames didn't want to accidentally activate it when people were trying to inch forward. I'm not sure if that game actually supported half-press states, did old french keyboards have them? (Infogrames is french, IIRC, so they'd have tested on I think AZERTY keyboards, if I remember *that* right, too)
@@mightygalhupo8947 There aren't really printed articles (that have been made digital) about something that was at one point standard for keyboards in the 70s & 80s. That's like trying to look up a printed article (that isn't an instruction manual) about how to do DOS commands.
I got this game back in 1994 for the 3DO. (Yes, I was one of the twelve people who bought one. The Goldstar model too, not the Panasonic.) I loved the premise for the game and it started a lifelong love of horror games. I did eventually finish it but I rage quit countless times before doing so. I remember thinking I'll play as Carnby first then Hartwood on the second go around. There was no second playthrough. Great video Ben!
Alone in the dark i love this game not only because of the survivor but also how the use lovecraft mythos also carnaby become my favorite horror protagonist
There’s is something incredibly sweet about the “Thank you for 100 subscribers :)” considering the fact that not even a week later your channel is closer to 20k than to 100 Well deserved too but I hope you aren’t pushing yourself too hard cranking out videos 💖
To think that this game was one of the main inspirations towards Resident Evil is impressive, considering how much of an impact Resident Evil had on the horror genre.
When I watched one of your videos I genuinely thought “Wow, this is really amazing and well made, I’ll go ahead and subscribe.” But then I saw your video count, view count, and subscriber count, and oh my goodness, you are heavily underrated. You make some seriously well made content, as well as your thumbnails and general art is really nice to look at. Basically both of those are really good too. Listening to your well detailed opinions and overviews of these games are amazing, the editing is spectacular and the soundtracks you add is a nice addition, and another thing, your comedy and the timing on it is also really amazing. I watched every one of your videos too, and I cannot wait for more. I cannot believe you are this small as such an amazing creator. I pray literally the best happens to you, you deserve a lot of support.
I just wanna say he has a beautiful way of speaking, Calm and modest yet intriguing. It helps me sleep without getting bored! Hope you get more attention you deserve, And have a good day.
I do not comment, but I couldn't help myself from applauding 1) your dedication to finishing these games you choose to play, and 2) your editing and narration quality. As I have noticed, you choose a somewhat unique angle of narration, and not only explain the game (if you can), but also tell it in a story-like fashion (most notable in your video on "The Crooked Man") with nice humor. One of the lines in particular (2:42: "Open a door? Buh-bye~") had me genuinely laughing. I will certainly continue to watch your future videos, and wholly intend on sticking around for some time. Great work, Ben!
Came for Alone in the Dark, and the Hotel Dusk soundtrack was a pleasant surprise! Awesome choice, it brought back memories! Love your subjects for videos, the admiration for Ghost Trick is what brought me to your channel.
I think the way you commentate really works with your scripting, and you honestly have a good enough tone here to rival some other creators of similar categories that have been at it far longer-when I first found this channel I could hardly believe you had existed for less than three months. You have lots of potential, so I wanna stick around and see what happens :)
Yeah.. Alone In The Dark is pretty trash. Aside from it inspiring Resident Evil, having various failed attempts at a reboot, and being a rare 3D game that fits on a floppy disk.. It's nothing special and should be left in the dustbin of history. The story behind it is better than the game. Also I find it amusing Carnby went on to be the lead and the woman was forgotten considering she actually has a connection to the plot of the first game and he is just the "click here to not play as a girl" option that executives of the era demanded
I’m super happy this channel is growing fast! I just found it and subscribed so fast- The care and production is top notch. We need more content like this:’)
It's wild to me that your channel is barely a month old and you already have amazing quality! Also you had 50 subscribers when you released your crooked man video? Congrats on 13k and I can't wait to watch your channel grow
Hello, I just binged all of your videos and, honestly, some of the best content I've watched recently. Would you consider checking out the Corpse Party remake, Misao, or Mad Father?
I love how everyone has collectively agreed that subnautica is a horror game when its actually just an underwater survival game [yes its horrifying its just funny to think about it]
Aaaaaaand I just finished watching all your videos. Your voice sounds really good for video essays and you are really good at summing up your experience with a game. Can't wait for the next video :D
I really enjoy the commentary and the nice musical background 😌 You’re voice is also nice to listen to and the games you look over are so interesting. I’m definitely going to keep coming back for new videos 😄
The "*chuckles* I'm in danger" really got me lmao
Same, haha!
I find your voice very soothing but I would quit this game the 3rd time I died. You're criminally underrated
"Take the arrows, and *moonwalk* outta there as fast as possible, like a TRUE GAMER"
Alright, take you've earned a sub from that 😅

This is one of the funniest game reviews I've ever seen. Another great video!

You're very underrated, love your narration and thumbnails and just listening to the video in the background keeps me entertained!
Watching the subscription count increase by 1k in the last 2 hours is so satisfying. Definitely well deserved. Keep up the good content

"you control the character with tank controls" as you do. I do like to move tank style myself
You really deserve more subs
Literally just found you now and great video. Alone in the Dark comes from the Era of games where Computer Adventure games were fucking mean.
I dont know why but now i cant sleep without hearing your voice (not in a weird way tho)
i hope all those wacky and silly death that just happen just cause are going to be in the remake
I couldn't beat it without a walkthrough. Even then, it was quite challenging.
EDIT: If there is a re-make, I hope that Old Man Henderson makes a non-canonical appearance!
Tip: You can actually press ` with up arrow key to trigger run easier
Wait. They're making a remake??? That's awesome!
You make really good videos

I watched every one of your videos too, and I cannot wait for more. I cannot believe you are this small as such an amazing creator.
I pray literally the best happens to you, you deserve a lot of support.
I just wanna say he has a beautiful way of speaking, Calm and modest yet intriguing. It helps me sleep without getting bored! Hope you get more attention you deserve, And have a good day.

Oh... Oh, he's a baby... Tiny baby boy...
I do not comment, but I couldn't help myself from applauding 1) your dedication to finishing these games you choose to play, and 2) your editing and narration quality. As I have noticed, you choose a somewhat unique angle of narration, and not only explain the game (if you can), but also tell it in a story-like fashion (most notable in your video on "The Crooked Man") with nice humor. One of the lines in particular (2:42: "Open a door? Buh-bye~") had me genuinely laughing. I will certainly continue to watch your future videos, and wholly intend on sticking around for some time. Great work, Ben!
WOOOO!! You’re channel’s growing! I’m so happy to see you gain the much-deserved attention! Really proud of you, man!
This man has some of the greatest videos on UA-cam. He deserves the like nine thousand subs he got in less than a week.
HOLD ON YOU’RE 19??? I’M OLDER THAN YOU BY A YEAR?? Dawg i wish my voice dropped like that wtf
Man im suprised by quality of your videos mate. You need to have a lot more subscribers for such a good work
The zombies were like "soup time"
9:10 caught me so off guard I choked on my water omg
its terrifying that your under 1000 subs, though im sure you've heard this a billion times lol
Came for Alone in the Dark, and the Hotel Dusk soundtrack was a pleasant surprise! Awesome choice, it brought back memories!
Love your subjects for videos, the admiration for Ghost Trick is what brought me to your channel.
I think the way you commentate really works with your scripting, and you honestly have a good enough tone here to rival some other creators of similar categories that have been at it far longer-when I first found this channel I could hardly believe you had existed for less than three months. You have lots of potential, so I wanna stick around and see what happens :)
Yeah.. Alone In The Dark is pretty trash. Aside from it inspiring Resident Evil, having various failed attempts at a reboot, and being a rare 3D game that fits on a floppy disk..
It's nothing special and should be left in the dustbin of history.
The story behind it is better than the game.
Also I find it amusing Carnby went on to be the lead and the woman was forgotten considering she actually has a connection to the plot of the first game and he is just the "click here to not play as a girl" option that executives of the era demanded
Youre growing so fast!!! You were 9.33k just yesterday and you are already at 12k?! IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU YOU DESERVE IT😭😭😭
I’m super happy this channel is growing fast! I just found it and subscribed so fast- The care and production is top notch. We need more content like this:’)
It's wild to me that your channel is barely a month old and you already have amazing quality! Also you had 50 subscribers when you released your crooked man video? Congrats on 13k and I can't wait to watch your channel grow
oh. oh you're FUNNY. I like this funny guy. this guys funny. I will now proceed to binge watch at least two more videos before I pass lout 👍
It might’ve been a terror to get through, but it was HILARIOUS to watch

Congrats on making feel old.
Sincerely, a dude born in 1994.
Fucking love yo content dude, here's to hoping you gain more subs and views fast, you deserve it for the amount of effort I be seeing.
Hello, I just binged all of your videos and, honestly, some of the best content I've watched recently. Would you consider checking out the Corpse Party remake, Misao, or Mad Father?
I know why everyone is so aggressive in that manor: IT ONLY HAS ONE TOILET
I love how everyone has collectively agreed that subnautica is a horror game when its actually just an underwater survival game [yes its horrifying its just funny to think about it]
Aaaaaaand I just finished watching all your videos. Your voice sounds really good for video essays and you are really good at summing up your experience with a game. Can't wait for the next video :D
as a fellow 19 year old im happy i didnt grow up with those game controls because then i might have never played video games in the first place
"thank you for 100 subscribers"
who's gonna tell him
My guy you need more attention bro
Thank you! Hopefully one day :)
A chill guy who talks about horror games, seems right for me
Could you make a video about Maze of Bouncy Bear? #BEARUP
Ben…if you thought this game was bad, wait until you see the rest of the games in the series…
Imagine playing the 360 version as well as the HORRIBLE one after that came out like 4 years ago I think.
I absolutely love your video style and artstyle, surprised you have less than 10k subs, but sure that soon you'll get a lot more!
I really enjoy the commentary and the nice musical background 😌 You’re voice is also nice to listen to and the games you look over are so interesting. I’m definitely going to keep coming back for new videos 😄
Just wanted to tell you that you instantly became one of my favorite channels. Amazing videos, dood.
