, the world's first 3D survival horror game that inspired an entire genre, is back with a modern adaptation that honors the original game's creepy roots. THQ Nordic is setting out to recapture the haunting and inquisitive gameplay of the 1992 game. The 2024 remake staring David Harbour and Jodie Comer has even gained the admiration and approval of the series creator, Frédérick Raynal, an excellent sign for survival horror fans.
When was initially released, it helped establish the groundwork for games like to become what they are today. Now, THQ Nordic is working to revitalize the franchise that has previously seen a few adaptations deviate too far from what fans enjoyed about the first few games. After a few hours of playing as 's two protagonists, it's clear that the remake's gameplay and story from Mikael Hedberg (, ) will effectively introduce today's players to the series' deadly and paranormal mysteries.
2024 takes place during the 1920s near New Orleans where Private Investigator Edward Carnby (David Harbour) and his client Emily Hartwood (Jodie Comer) research the disappearance of Emily's uncle in a spooky mansion players of the original game might recognize. The game begins as the pair pulls up to Derceto Manor, and like the original game, players are given a choice to play as either Edward or Emily in the 3rd person game filled with puzzles and well-crafted tension. This choice alters what story and characters players will experience.

As players make their way into the mansion, it takes little time to determine that there is something off about the Derceto mansion and its strange residents.

While the beginning stages had both characters traversing similar locations, the story and information each gathered about the overarching plot ensured that completing both campaigns would be required to uncover every one of 's secrets.

Not long after discovering the first significant clue into Emily's uncle's disappearance, the player snaps into a dark nightmare realm that is as unsettling as it is mysterious. The first time it happens, the player is trapped in an unknown location with limited resources and gruesome creatures.

Freud’s Last Session imagines the philosophical debate of a lifetime — then flops
Few works of historical fiction have been so imaginative in premise, yet so dull and lackluster in execution. Freud’s Last Session puts a powerhouse pair of actors, Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Goode, in the shoes of two renowned real-life figures, Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis, as they engage in theological debate. But the resultant conversation, based on the play of the same name by Mark St. Germain (who co-wrote the screenplay with director Matthew Brown), would be laughed out of a high school philosophy club. Despite the caliber of its performers — especially Hopkins, who’s in the most fascinating phase of his career with works like The Father and One Life — Brown’s film is an utter dud.

Alone in the Dark: The Final Preview
The original Alone in the Dark was revolutionary, for the time. Skeptical as I am about attempts to play on classic stories and high-profile names, I recently spent time with Pieces Interactive and THQ Nordic's upcoming reboot of the series, one that revisits the setting of the 1992 game that practically invented survival horror. To my pleasure, I found that, true to their word, it wasn't an attempt to recreate or reboot the first game. Instead, it's something different. It's a new and fascinating story drawing on the same elements that I love: cosmic horror, detective fiction, psychological horror, and the good old Southern Gothic.
