Truly groundbreaking when it first came out. Good old haunted house, with an engaging occult/demonic story line and sound affects that'll get you on edge.
Holy shit I finally found it. This was one of my earliest childhood memories. I remember watching my mom play this game on her windows 95. I would’ve been like three years old maybe four I always wondered what game it was because it made me feel so un easy, I can’t believe I found it. This is literally my earliest memory.
Thank you so much for playing this game! I haven't seen this since I was like five years old & it brings back so many great and amazing memories! Much appreciated man! Keep making amazing videos!
Still got my copy on 3DO! This game was terrifying back when I first played it haha. There were so many ways to die it was crazy; reading that gold book in the library that kills you immediately after blew my mind. I was worried about the Vagabond in the library, and then a book gets me instead. Good times.
The very first Survival Horror Game, I remember I used to play this on my Macintosh... For the younger kids, now you know where the Silent Hill and RE ideas came from.
***** Oh OK, I didn´t know I Never Owned a NES, But now it comes to my mind that AZTEC from Apple //e l(before NES era) looks like a Survival Horror Survival game too.
I'm so happy I ran across this channel. I've been watching cryaotic for a long time, but I've watched them all. I looked up horror games and this channel popped up several times. thanks for doing a horror channel!
Ahhh, played this game back in the day for the 3do. Absolutely loved it, and don’t know why because I never beat it until I saw a walkthrough. Just wandered around aimlessly. I mean, some of the things needed to do to beat this game I NEVER would of figured out. Throwing a statue at another statue, throwing an oil lamp at an evil tree, shooting an arrow at a painting down the hall… Maybe more the sounds and music, but this tickled my nostalgia funny bone.
The wolf thing that jumps through the window is the only thing I remember from this game. I was so young when I played this. Scariest thing from my childhood.
It’d be cool to see this game remade Similar to the Resident Evil Remake. It could have pre-rendered backgrounds and semi-static camera angles, and updated gameplay mechanics. I’m not sure if it was the developer’s intention, but the visual style of this game looks a little more like Rare’s Grabbed by the Ghoulies more so than something actually scary. However, I’m imagining something that’s much more realistic and terrifying aesthetically. It could look like a mixture of The Order: 1886 and Bloodborne. Or if they did intend to make the game look more cartoon-like, they could lean more into that by taking inspiration from old Fletcher and early Disney Era animations and using some kind of cell shading along with pre-rendered backgrounds. If that were the case, I’d like to see something that takes a lot of visual inspiration from Disney’s animated movie 101 Dalmatians. I love the character and environmental design in that movie. I think visually that style could fit well into this spooky setting.
That fighting stance animation screams 'put up yer dukes!'. I love it. So, this is the game that inspired RE's static amera angles. Pretty good for something so freaking old. I'd love to see a light remake of this. Not full on RE2/3 remake, but with updated graphics and controls to better reflect the scariness the story was meant to convey. This feels more like watching a cartoon more than anything else. Not a bad thing, but not scary either.. Awesome job finding and sharing this piece of nostalgia though!
about a damn time you are bringing ALONE IN THE DARK to your channel brother :)) but seriously AITD 4 a new nightmare is the one you truly want to bring, that is a how a true badass reboot to a series shall be done, Edward Carnby is one of the greatest survival horror icons of all times
Unfortunately, the new remake or reboot coming in 2024 doesn't have Carnby redheaded or with his iconic mustache. But, hoping it replicates most of the flavor & atmosphere of the 1992 original.
WOWWWW. until now i didn't even know that this game had voices also. when i played it as a kid i had some version that only had sounds and music. very cool to see it now properly ....
this was one of two video games that went 3D early, the second one was Star Fox by Nintendo. but with modern 3d software like Blender you can make games that mimics this game's early polygonal 3d design up to the PS1
I didn't like the other two sequels because they weren't very Lovecraftian which is kinda a shame. It would be awesome if this was updated with today's graphics and everything.
is my # 1 most deepest true survival horror game, also I feel is SO UNDERRATED this days???? I don't know why? I mean I love Biohazard series, silent hill 2 a lot, & many others, but Alone in the dark 4 will always be that giant iconic memory, glad to find people who haven't forgotten of such great classic, I still chocked of how great that game looked for a ps1, sega dreamcast game, it was WAY too revolutionary , & best most atmospheric game of all times. I mean I like the original AITD, but I feel far more connected with the more gothic style of the reboot, maybe was the best reboot of all times ?
I’ve never been able to play this kind of games. That’s why I see the playthroughs. I only played one mobile game of silent hill when phones still have buttons/keys 😂 and it was a very anxious experience
No wonder resident evil was a great game because of alone in the dark computer game Resident evil would have not existed so thank you the creator of alone in the dark.
I remember that i played this on a 286 PC...back in the day 3D graphics were insane - looks like this HD version looks the same. But i remember i never finished this game. 1 it was very scary, 2 i had no idea how to solve the challenges - no internet guides back in the day, we used to get help from magazines or friends. If i remember correctly, you were able to choose a female character too. 286 could only run some really primitive early 3D games, 99% of the games were two dimensional - DOS era gaming
OH, I had to research this one. I guess I did not play the first Alone in the Dark, I am gonna find this game and TRY to play it. Thanks hun love your videos and love the walks down memory lane.
indeed, glad to see people remembers a true classic, especially ALONE IN THE DARK 4 will always be most memorable to me, that is how an epic true legit reboot is done
FAIS MOI PEUR !!! Actually this came out on 3do first. I know cause that's why I bought the 3do, it was Nintendo vs Sega then, and then there was PlayStation vs 3do. 3do did great but PlayStation after a year finally took over. Man, good times! Nobody remembers this as when it 3do fizzled out it literally vanished!
@@jamesrountree5117 i own a 3DO back in 95 and i loved it! Its a shame 3DO's price range messed it up from being a contender during those days.... people dont realize this game was the first survival horror game and it came out on PC aswell. It was just great times...
HP Lovecraft and Chaosium get a "special thanks"? Sounds like someone went "Hey, you know, our last Call of Cthulhu campaign would make for a GREAT video game..." and this was made
Hello First, thanks for the video. I played this when I was 10 and don't know how I finished. Lol How do you play with "enhanced graphics"? I'm playing on steam and the graphics are the original.
Was fun to watch. It's weird seeing graphics like this when I'm used to the ones we got now. While I wouldn't call this horror it was still fun to watch. If it has sequels will you do them too?
@Bambuzzsprosse I've noticed a lot of younger gamers who can't seem to accept something as part of the horror genre if it doesn't go out of its way to be gorey and/or full of jump scares with a gritty aesthetic. To them these games are just "horror themed".
@@dommoore6180 It's a lack of imagination, which is why the younger generation get bored so easily. I played this game in school and it had me on edge because of the story and sound affects, the rest you fill in with your imagination.
I have almost finished watching this. Before I watched this I watched the remake. I think the remake is a complete fabrication, a let down to Alone In The Dark. I can see the connection between some of the monsters, but the story is where it's at and the story fails. It could have been a thrilling mystery set in Derceto Manor, but the story of the remake is a hodgepodge. I am enjoying the original Alone In The Dark very much. Thank you SHN.
I'm not that optimistic for the new game as it does not possess game's quirky atmosphere, it just seems reminiscent of RE4 to me, a real missed opportunity. This will always be a landmark achievement in gaming! Awesome stuff! I love this game's writing, so much character, it strikes that perfect balance between cheese and seriousness, as does the voice acting. These day everything is politicised, this is just pure pulpy entertainment and I love it!
Truly groundbreaking when it first came out. Good old haunted house, with an engaging occult/demonic story line and sound affects that'll get you on edge.
I love the epistolary nature of it with the books and diaries too.
Holy shit I finally found it. This was one of my earliest childhood memories. I remember watching my mom play this game on her windows 95. I would’ve been like three years old maybe four I always wondered what game it was because it made me feel so un easy, I can’t believe I found it. This is literally my earliest memory.
Excellent game and a grandfather to all of great horror games like Siren, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame and Resident Evil!
It may not be groundbreaking, but it did help blaze the trail for the genre.
@@ininja32 I don't know. For me it is groundbreaking.
@@Elflightwarrior I can respect that. Make no mistake.
@@ininja32 Okay. I respect your opinion as well. But don't you think that considering its time, this is an awesome horror game?
@@Elflightwarrior I agree, you had to start somewhere
It is a game of my childhood , thanks.
Thank you so much for playing this game! I haven't seen this since I was like five years old & it brings back so many great and amazing memories! Much appreciated man! Keep making amazing videos!

Thank you so much for this long play. Greatly adore this game and glad to see others still do, too.
now this is old school, thanks man

Finally I manage to finish this game - after 30years !
The wolf thing that jumps through the window is the only thing I remember from this game. I was so young when I played this. Scariest thing from my childhood.
That's like the only thing I came here to see :/
this game passed me by as a kid, not sure how/why. thanks for letting me check out something I missed.
This man went into a haunted house and literally beat all the ghosts into submission with his bare hands.
The 18th century was a simpler time...
Not to nitpick but the game takes place some time in the 1920s so it'd be the 20th century
This game used to scare the crap out of me as a kid, hard to see why now but thanks for the upload!
Those slap sounds from the kicks crack me up. Love this classic game. *SLAP*
awesome!!! I love Carnby and that mid section roundhouse kick

It was supposed to be remade but they cancelled it. There's a video here on youtube though that shows the gameplay
Today is 12th Aug 2022. It is announced that this is being remade now. Only PC and next-gen consoles. F ya.
@@TheCommonSenseForRegularPeople Thanks for the info! I've just seen the trailer and can't wait for it!
How strange that I read your comment yesterday and pondered about new game of this series until I got notified about the new trailer of the new game.
Well, the remake is now out! Not exactly how you wanted, but it happened
That fighting stance animation screams 'put up yer dukes!'. I love it.
So, this is the game that inspired RE's static amera angles. Pretty good for something so freaking old.
I'd love to see a light remake of this.

guess what. we got a remake now lol
@@TheDeadHero64
Yeah. Too bad it's less 'Alone in the Dark' and plays more like Resident Evil 4 remake, but jankier...
@@LongTran-kp3kz its a lot like The evil within and resident evil if they had a baby
LP of games like this much good without commentary.
I subscribe.
The remake of the game is coming! Alone in the dark isn’t alone anymore with Illumination as the latest installment !
I'm not gonna lie...the creepiness is in the graphics.
For the time period, the voice acting in this game is amazing, and I usually watch subs...
its even better than some of todays voice acting
The voices were added in later editions.
about a damn time you are bringing ALONE IN THE DARK to your channel brother :)) but seriously AITD 4 a new nightmare is the one you truly want to bring, that is a how a true badass reboot to a series shall be done, Edward Carnby is one of the greatest survival horror icons of all times
btw I truly want to see a remake of this original Alone in the dark with same developers who did AITD 4, that would be my survival horror dream
Unfortunately, the new remake or reboot coming in 2024 doesn't have Carnby redheaded or with his iconic mustache. But, hoping it replicates most of the flavor & atmosphere of the 1992 original.
So that ending... The music didn't change or anything. Are we to assume he was just driven home safely in just a somewhat uncomfortable silence?
SecretHat yeah the ghost was high on crack
WOWWWW. until now i didn't even know that this game had voices also. when i played it as a kid i had some version that only had sounds and music. very cool to see it now properly ....
This game looks good for 1992.
Well, it´s on FULL HD, like..."remastered". The original didn´t look that good, but it was indeed groundbreaking for its time.
@@OldSilentHill8exactly I remember as a 11 year old in 92 it didn’t look this good
this was one of two video games that went 3D early, the second one was Star Fox by Nintendo. but with modern 3d software like Blender you can make games that mimics this game's early polygonal 3d design up to the PS1
Chris might be able to punch boulders, but he cannot kill zombies with punches and kicks like Carnby
I didn't like the other two sequels because they weren't very Lovecraftian which is kinda a shame. It would be awesome if this was updated with today's graphics and everything.
I sure you are not talking about the almighty ALONE IN THE DARK 4? cos that is my babe from this series,, well more of reboot than a sequel
yeah,, but no one, NO ONE can speak badly of my beloved ALONE IN THE DARK 4, that is an ultimate crime
is my # 1 most deepest true survival horror game, also I feel is SO UNDERRATED this days???? I don't know why?

The fight scenes are so hilarious, putting his dukes up like a boxer from the 1880's and him slapping them into oblivion!!😂😂😂😂😂
Holy hell that is vintage survival horror. Gj, SHN!
today's Alone in the dark... what ashame
I hated that ps3 game
It truly was an inferno.
Illumination is the worst "survival" "horror" game in my opinion. I don't know how you can unironically enjoy the game whatsoever.
SHN is the best! Yes vintage horror! I was 9 when this game came out wow!
Oh how I have missed this game!
For early the 90's, it looks pretty good
Ahhh... Those times. ❤️
I’ve never been able to play this kind of games. That’s why I see the playthroughs. I only played one mobile game of silent hill when phones still have buttons/keys 😂 and it was a very anxious experience
never played it back in the day but this was oddly comforting to watch so thanks :)
First time hearing about this game. No joke. Huge fan of Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Fatal Frame etc. Horror fan here. Excellent!
Oh I love the old graphics
No wonder resident evil was a great game because of alone in the dark computer game Resident evil would have not existed so thank you the creator of alone in the dark.

My copy for 3DO snapped in half. Its 2022 and I still think about this game.
I remember playing this with a Packard bell 25 mhz with turbo and a disney sound source.

Remember going to this girls house just to play this on PC
OH, I had to research this one.
I guess I did not play the first Alone in the Dark, I am gonna find this game and TRY to play it.

I did a FAQ in .bat extention in this times. The FAQ was me finishing this game in a little minutes, I was savage in this game! THX to remember
This game is a legend.
loved this game on the 3do but could never beat it....awesome playthrough
Same here. Before the time of internet and UA-cam tutorials. I feel like an idiot now obviously but at least I know I figured out 3/4 of it as a kid
This game reminds me of Resident Evil 1 in the mansion incident
1:16:08 the art is lovely too
Hello
First, thanks for the video. I played this when I was 10 and don't know how I finished. Lol
How do you play with "enhanced graphics"? I'm playing on steam and the graphics are the original.
Try GOG's version. It does have some settings where you can apply some nice filters like hq3x and bilinear filtering.
I played this on 3do back in 97. I didnt know what to do. And with no internet i never got very far.
The voice of Carnby is awesome. Or wherever voice actor is reading the books.
I got a Samsung ad when he blew away the tree hmm
In whole time a whole history so beautiful.
I love your channel so much! If you take suggestions I think you should play “The School: White Day”.
this game is pure gold
Eden games, please bring back the remake for this game, I’d play it even with the fixed cameras
Was fun to watch. It's weird seeing graphics like this when I'm used to the ones we got now. While I wouldn't call this horror it was still fun to watch. If it has sequels will you do them too?
So, six years later would you still not call this horror?

Carnby is a pimp.
His run tho 😂
You should play "Alone in the Dark: A New Nightmare"! I fully recommend it! :D
And they saying the first games to use 3d models were tomb raider and quake.
they were the ones that revolutionized it
SUCH
A
MOON !!!!
the fucking rat that jumps through the window used to scare me so much as a child. basically made me quit playing forever
Better than the movie as I later saw.
how does H.P Lovecraft fit in this game?
We need more games where a gentleman with a large moustache goes Marquess of Queensbury rules on demons.
That's a cool Lovecraft insert in the book
This game can be renamed as Resident Evil 18s
The name "Resident Evil" fits really well for this game, even the hallways looked similar... Nice walkthrough dude!
Wait, the game starts directly without the character selection screen? What about Emily Hartwood?
This game strongly influenced the production of Resident Evil
This guy walks like he’s on GHB
1:22:14 YIPEE!!!
Those slaps... they echo in the after life !!!
P.S. Pianos are Evil this is a proof !!!
How do you save the game? I can't figure out a way to do so.
Will you try Alone in the dark 2008
I remember this silly game. It's so spoopy! 😂
but now I can understand the books ! LOL man, what knowledge
The first video game in 3D !
so cool
i want to live in that place
the game looks so good! it look too much pixelated in my pc ):
Terrifying experience
How come the graphics are more detail from the original game? I see there is more anti aliasing..
