ORIGINS OF SURVIVAL HORROR: ALONE IN THE DARK #AloneInTheDark #AloneInTheDarkReview #SurvivalHorror #MonstersOfTheWeek #OriginsOfSurvivalHorror In this mini-series, Origins of Survival Horror, we’re going to explore the games that preceded Resident Evil (the game that coined the term), but that were already full-blown survival horror games through and through. Today, we’re covering the trailblazing 1992 horror adventure Alone in the Dark, developed by Infogrames and directed by Frérérick Raynal. Alone in the Dark was both technically and game-design wise absolutely ahead of its time, pioneering the fixed-camera/pre-rendered background technique paired with pretty much all the signature elements that Resident Evil would later define as Survival Horror. Alone in the Dark would later be awarded the first-ever 3D Survival Horror game retroactively by the Guinnes Book of Records. Let’s talk about what makes this game such a fascinating milestone of video game history, and thennnn also explore the not-so-shiny legacy of the franchise down through the years - up until today. **Support the Channel** Chapters 00:00 Intro: Back to The Mansion 04:19 Sponsor: Nord VPN 06:05 Part 1: Alone in the Dark (- ages of 3D Gaming) 14:00 Part 2: Derelict Estate Blues 27:26 Part 3: Forest for the Trees 32:09 Part 4: The Downward Spiral 47:18 Thank you & Credits __ Script: Michael Saba, Ragnar Ulricson Captions (en): Mira Cox, Ragnar Ulricson __ Footage Credits: Resident Evil Mansion Unreal Engine 4 Walkthrough | Brent Little PC Longplay [248] Alone in the Dark (Infogrames) | World of Longplays Played by: Deskawa Atari 2600 longplay [027] Haunted House | World of Longplays Played by: georgc3 PC Longplay [254] Alone in the Dark 2 | World of Longplays Played by: Deskawa PC Longplay [283] Alone in the Dark 3 | World of Longplays Played by: Deskawa PSX Longplay [539] Alone in the Dark_ The New Nightmare (Part 1 of 2) Carnby | World of Longplays Played by: NPi PSX Longplay [005] Resident Evil 2 | World of Longplays Played by: Spazbo4 Alpha Waves - Atari ST (1990) | Wasabi Alpha Waves [1990] MS DOS - 5 Minute Gameplay - No Commentary | Retro Games Library Alone in the Dark: Illumination 1080p/60fps Full HD Walkthrough Longplay Gameplay No Commentary | Survival Horror Network Classic Game Postmortem: Alone in the Dark | GDC
