A suspicious suicide. A chilling curse. A malevolent power. Finally, a wicked dark secret. This is Derceto, a legendary Louisiana mansion where, against your better judgment, you're drawn into a world of shadows to explore the darker side of Jeremy Hartwood's imagination. Despite a paralyzing sense of personal danger, your quest for truth drives you to investigate the old house. But, you didn't know that, by entering Derceto, you'll be plunged into the daily nightmare that was Jeremy Hartwood's life. You weren't prepared for the torturous howls that resound from deep within its halls. You didn’t foresee the shadowy corridors that seemingly have no end. You couldn't anticipate the brooding, gloom-filled rooms, the pervasive weight of dread, the heavy sense of evil that gills the atmosphere and the very house itself. Had you known, you might have refused this task. But alas, you accepted, and now you must make your way through this spine-tingling adventure alone... and in the dark.

The biggest jumpscare I got in this game was a frog's face appearing for 1 second on my screen
It's impossible to say that this is a bad game for its era considering that it was one of the first in survivor horror genre.
If you're not familiar with old games, I highly recommend this game because I went into it thinking it was going to be something frustrating and limited where I would be lost for a while, but when I saw it I ended up beating the game in just 6 hours.

O maior susto que eu tomei nesse jogo foi o rosto do sapo aparecendo por 1 segundo na minha tela e desaparecendo
É impossível dizer que esse é um jogo ruim pra época em vista que ele foi um dos primeiros em quase todos os aspectos que ele se dedica dentro do genêro survivor horror
Se você não tem frescura com jogo antigo recomendo muito esse jogo pois eu entrei pensando que ia ser algo frustrante e limitado aonde eu ficaria perdido por tempos mas quando vi eu acabei zerando o jogo em apenas 6 horas.

Alone in the Dark is the grandfather of the survival horror genre, and honestly not much else other than being known for its name and having 4 reboots that each failed miserably.
it's not that deep of a game, imagine resident evil 1 but with awful controls, visuals that resemble StarFox, an overflow of useless items with a limited inventory, AWFUL combat, and obviously some cryptic puzzles.
Yeah, yeah I know I'm being harshed and it's pretty damn impressive for 1992, it does hold some historical values and such but this is a website where gamers talk about the games and not artistic and historical values, as a game it sucks and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, I can't even ask for like a remaster because the game is still painfully generic in its story and visuals so you might as well just play resident evil 1.
That's kinda it about this game, it's really short like 5 hours long at best, it's just funny how Resident Evil 1 is still kind of a 1:1 with this game, they both have the puzzles, the manor, and the really annoying final part that change the gameplay and turn into an escape sequence.
Overall a pretty forgettable game outside of historical values and shouldn't have gotten that many reboots, like c'mon by the time I'm writing this there's a new reboot coming! Sometimes you should just let things go and start making something new.
