The new reboot of Alone in the Dark is here, but the game still has a lot of old-school survival horror flavor, which means there are a lot of puzzles, secrets, and other mysteries to unravel. But don’t worry, we here at Wccftech are here to guide you past the tricky bits.
Alone in the Dark has a relatively limited number of weapons, with one of the most powerful being the shotgun. You’ll first notice the shotgun in a glass case in the Small Parlor on the main floor relatively early on in Chapter 2 of the game. Unfortunately, there’s no obvious way to open the case – not lock, no hidden switch. So, how do you get that tasty-looking shotgun? Scroll on down for the answer…

Somewhat unintuitively, the key to unlocking the shotgun case is acquiring a series of “Lagniappes,” which is Alone in the Dark’s name for its bonus collectibles. These Lagniappes all come in sets of three – you’re specifically looking for the “Lost Children” set to get the shotgun, which includes the Rubber Stamp, Fountain Pen, and Dog Collar.
The Rubber Stamp is located in the Reception room right off Derceto’s main Entrance Hall. It’s sitting right on the counter near the bell. You can access this room early on in Chapter 1.
The Fountain Pen is located in Batiste’s Room on the second floor in the east wing of the mansion. You’ll get access to this room early in Chapter 2. Look for a cluttered table with a “Weird Tales” magazine on it. The pen is on top of the magazine.
Finally, the Dog Collar is located in the Drawing Room on the main floor of the mansion. You’ll gain access to this area midway through Chapter 2. Look under the table at the far end of the Drawing Room.
And there you go! Once you get all three of the Lost Children Lagniappes, the case containing the shotgun will open automatically via mysterious means. Again, you’re definitely going to want to get this, as it’s your most powerful weapon throughout the entire mid portion of the game. Also of note, both playable characters share Lagniappe progress, so if you unlock the shotgun while playing as Emily, then tackle the game as Edward, the shotgun will be unlocked as soon as you reach the case in the second playthrough.

Today’s AAA games require a lot of storage, and typically, they only get bigger post-launch as addition content and updates are applied. So, it’s somewhat surprising to report that Forza Motorsport – which launched at a very-meaty 130-GB-plus -- is actually shrinking in size with its latest patch. Forza Motorsport Update 7 will see the game’s file size reduced by around 25 GB on Xbox Series X and 29 GB on PC.
As we head deeper into 2024, the traditional “E3” season (of course, E3 is dead now, but you catch my drift) for gaming announcements and showcases is coming up fast. In recent days we’ve begun to hear some murmurings about Microsoft’s big 2024 showcase, with Gears 6 reportedly being there, and now a few more potential details may have filtered out.
The “Pokemon with guns” phenomenon Palworld has dropped its latest update, and it’s a fairly beefy one. The big addition is Palworld’s first raid boss, Bellanoir, an intense battle you can adjust the difficulty on for some big rewards. In addition to that, the update brings a number of improvements to building, a bunch of new handy items, and more. You can check out a quick teaser trailer for Bellanoir, below.
One of the big stories of the past year has been the collapse of Embracer Group, as the failure to secure a major $2 billion investment resulted in the company cutting loose several major studios, either by selling or shuttering them, and laying off 1,400 employees. One of the studios Embracer let go of was Saber Interactive, which was sold to new company Beacon Interactive for a relatively meager $247 million (Embracer originally paid $525 million for them). You’d think the head of Saber might be bitter about this, but instead the company’s founder Matthew Karch is still singing Embracer’s praises in a new GamesIndustry.biz interview.

The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 creators CD Projekt Red have reported their earnings for 2023 (their fiscal year corresponds with the regular calendar year) and it seems it was a good 12 months for the Polish publisher. 2023 was CDPR’s second-best year ever, thanks to the sales of the Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty expansion, which managed to move 5 million copies, which is added to the 20 million in sales for the original Cyberpunk 2077. CDPR has also announced that The Witcher series surpassed 75 million units sold last year. So, yes, if you’re doing the math (75 million for the Witcher, 25 million for Cyberpunk) CDPR has now sold over 100 million games. Not bad!
