• Story

  Edward Carnby has been noticing strange occurrences around New York City's Central Park. People have been whispering about the connection between these happenings and the park's underground tunnels. Carnby must do battle with bizarre creatures to answer the questions about the secret tunnels and the supernatural incidents within the city.

  Though the mystery of Central Park in the game has not been verified, possible rumors include mutated trees and overgrown, violent insects.

• Gameplay

  Alone in the Dark has a DVD movie-like format. The game is separated into sections where users can replay parts of the game or skip those that are too difficult. At the end of each section, there is a suspense-filled conclusion followed by a teaser for the next section of the game. After lodaing a saved game, a recap of the previous section displays including any remaining tasks for that section. Certain actions in the game will require the completion of mini-tasks before gameplay can continue.
