THQ Nordic held a showcase focused on Alone in the Dark ahead of their THQ Nordic Showcase in August. This new focus on the game introduced the two star-cast leads, as well as how the game is planning to bring forth and update the story from the original game.

The first thing we see in the showcase is the casting of David Harbour from Stranger Things and Jodie Comer from Killing Eve as Edward Carney and Emily Hardwood, respectively. These aren’t just voice roles, but also the actors giving their own image to the characters.

The development team at Pieces Interactive then spoke about their vision for the game in the showcase, which is one of respecting the original game while updating it for modern horror.

Check out the showcase and more information on the upcoming Alone in the Dark below.

Explore Derceto Manor in this reimagination of Alone in the Dark, a love letter to the 90’s cult classic horror game! Set in the gothic American South in the 1920s, Alone in the Dark features a noir setting with classical Lovecraftian horror elements, where the familiar meets the surreal.

• Return to the roots of psychological horror and experience an atmospheric journey worthy of the game that started the genre.

• Dive into a world full of sounds that make your skin crawl with a haunting, yet mesmerising doom jazz soundtrack.

• Enjoy the thrill of desperate survival in a world where reality starts to crumble, evil lurks in every shadow and ammunition is scarce.

• Experience this nightmare from either Emily Hartwood’s or Edward Carnby’s perspective and unearth the dark secrets of a gothic mansion.

• Immerse yourself in a deep psychological story that goes beyond the realms of the imaginable, by Mikael Hedberg, cult horror writer of SOMA and Amnesia.
