has many puzzles for you to solve, including one in the Gallery of Derceto in Chapter 2 where you have to reassemble the plate pieces of a Clock. Arranging the broken parts of this Clock will unlock a new area to explore, allowing you to progress further. This task demands the right equipment, which can only be found by completing other puzzles along the way.
A Single Alone in the Dark Playthrough Takes 8 Hours if You Rush, but That’s Not the Whole Story

A single playthrough of the new Alone in the Dark game will take you around eight hours if you rush, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Literally.
In Steam post, 40-person developer Pieces Interactive said players should keep in mind they’ll need at least two playthroughs to get the whole story thanks to its dual protagonists: Edward and Emily.
“If you rush through the main story, a playthrough will take approximately eight hours, but keep in mind that you will need at least two playthroughs to get the whole story (one as Edward, one as Emily),” Pieces Interactive said.
Alone in the Dark is a reimagining of the original 1992 horror game and stars Hollywood actors David Harbour as private investigator Edward Carnby, and Jodie Comer as Emily Hartwood. The pair are investigating the disappearance of Jeremy Hartwood, Emily's uncle.
Elsewhere in the post, the developers insisted the main game will not be a "walking simulator" as some players of the demo had wondered. “The main game features a mix of exploration and dialogue, puzzle solving, and combat,” Pieces Interactive said.
The post also touches on Edward’s design, which is significantly different from the character’s appearance in previous Alone in the Dark games. For example, he doesn’t have a mustache in this new Alone in the Dark. The answer here comes directly from creative director, Mikael Hedberg.
“Edward started out a private detective with a magnificent mustache and gradually became more of an action hero in the later games," he said.
"Like with most of our elements we went back to the original and had him pegged as a sort of scholarly detective. This was great, as we knew we didn’t want an action hero for our game, but when paired up with Emily he seemed a little uninteresting. Emily was this tormented character with a family connection to our story catalyst Jeremy Hartwood, so she came more naturally.
"The question then was, who was Edward to her. Turns out she hires him to help her. And she certainly wouldn’t hire just anybody. He had to be at least a little capable. To avoid the action type he fell into the reluctant hero slot and suddenly we had gone all this way to kind of wind up with a classic noir detective. I think with as little we actually knew about Edward in the original game, I feel like our Edward is pretty close. Except for his majestic mustache, of course.”
And finally, Alone in the Dark does not contain microtransactions or any other type of monetisation, Pieces Interactive insisted. “Our vision for the game was to deliver a classic horror experience, featuring combat, puzzle, exploration and a compelling story told from two different perspectives,” the developer added. The game is entirely playable offline.

Alone in the Dark is a celebration of the survival horror genre past and present
Without Alone in the Dark, quite simply, there is no survival horror as we know it today. Way back in 1992, when the original game led us down the haunted hallways of the Derceto mansion for the first time, the impact that ill-fated journey would have on the landscape of video games could not have been fully understood.

Alone in the Dark Review
Alone in the Dark is the definition of slow burn horror – something that’s pretty much a given when playing, reading, or watching anything that takes heavy inspiration from the works of H.P. Lovecraft. A modern take of the 1992 classic created by Infogrames, it’s easy to see why THQ wanted to take a punt at reanimating the series, especially when you consider the back-to-back successes Capcom has enjoyed with its recent string of Resident Evil remakes. After all, it was Alone in the Dark that inspired Shinji Mikami in creating the very first Resident Evil all those years ago. Both games took place in a sprawling manor complex teeming with jump scares and puzzles, though Alone in the Dark veered more towards the occult and committing to a period setting.
