## Story

The game follows Emily Hartwood and private investigator Edward Carnby as they travel to Derceto Manor, a home for the mentally fatigued, to investigate the disappearance of Jeremy Hartwood, Emily's uncle.[1]

## Gameplay

Alone in the Dark will feature an "over-the-shoulder" third-person perspective, similar to the recent remakes in the Resident Evil franchise, combat is available with a firearm, or melee weapon as shown by the reveal trailer.

## Development

Three years after the poor reception of Alone in the Dark: Illumination, the former publisher, Atari S.A. sold the rights to THQ Nordic on September 2018.[2] Pieces Interactive, which was most known for making Magicka 2, commenced the game's development in 2019. The team was inspired by the success of Resident Evil 2 in 2019, and Resident Evil 3 in 2020.[3] The game was written by Mikael Hedberg, who had previously worked at Frictional Games on Soma and Amnesia. It will feature an original plot which incorporates characters from the first three Alone in the Dark game. Artist Guy Davis was recruited to design the monsters featured in the game.[1]

In August 2022, it was revealed at THQ Nordic's Showcase.[1]
