It follows Emily Hartwood (played by Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer) and a private investigator named Edward Carnby (played by Stranger Things’s David Harbour) as they investigate the creepy Derceto Manor, where Emily believes her uncle has disappeared. Per THQ’s website, you can also “Play as Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood to explore your environments, fight monsters, solve puzzles and uncover the true secret of Derceto Manor….” The director of this game, Mikael Hedberg, is one horror fans will know and love, too, as the writer behind SOMA and Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

In our Alone in the Dark preview, we explained that the game isn’t “an attempt to recreate or reboot the first game. Instead, it’s something different. It’s a new and fascinating story,” drawing on elements of “cosmic horror, detective fiction, psychological horror, and the good old Southern Gothic.” We also explained that Alone in the Dark is “a treasure trove of good game writing. The direction of veteran game horror writer Mikael Hedberg is keenly felt here.”
