Alone in the Dark launches later this week, on March 20th, and you can read my full review when the embargo lifts. This new-made horror video game reimagined horror video game is based on the classic game of the same name, which was released in 1992.

Early on we drew inspiration for the overall tone and mysticism from the movie Angel Heart from 1987. It has this gritty low key southern gothic tone going which we believed would be a good fit for our game. We also took a lot of southern gothic inspiration from True Detective season 1 as well.Lovecraft's novels have been of big inspiration especially when it comes to some of the weirder architectural designs we have.

For example, we decided early on what the base narrative looked like and that it would feature the house itself . Knowing that, we tried to incorporate as many rooms from the original as possible but at the same time make sure to do it in a totally reimagined way.For characters we were really keen on making the clothes designs as period appropriate as possible.

Our internal animation department used the XSens mocap system to make the gameplay animations and some of the cinematic sequences. In short XSens is a sensor driven mocap system that lets you capture movement without cameras. Moreover it has been difficult to make sure we stay in our kind of horror that is just the slot before going into a terror horror realm.
