Lovely, detailed backgrounds but annoying and stiff gameplay.
Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare on the Game Boy Color is an ambitious attempt to bring survival horror to the handheld. The game excels at delivering a tense atmosphere with its limited graphical capabilities and haunting sound design. However, combat feels stiff and unresponsive, puzzles can be frustratingly obtuse, and the truncated storyline leaves much to be desired. Still, for dedicated fans of survival horror or those looking for a retro challenge, this little-known gem offers a unique and occasionally chilling experience.
Maybe the PC version is better but this version is shovelware trash
You know what? Shut up.
This is one of the most impressive GBC games alongside Dragon's Lair (which is literally a whole laser-disc demake) and Metal Gear: Ghost Babel.
On the gameplay, yea, not much to say. I'll stick with the original deals (the 1992 pioneer one or the actual console version of this).

The spooky atmosphere and visuals felt genuinely impressive to me…that is expect the moments when the silence was broken up by sudden moments of a dorky melody playing over a crusty detective man in which I would instinctively burst out laughing.
It's a blurry mess. I can barely tell what's going on.
