PS5 horror game Alone in the Dark is now much better positioned in the release calendar following its delay to January 2024, so studio Pieces Interactive is sharing why it should be your first purchase next year with some new gameplay. All seemingly captured from a PS5 build, the fresh look reveals how certain scenes can play out differently depending on whether you're playing as Emily (Jodie Comer) or Edward (David Harbour). Take a look above.
A press release explains: "The scenes will vary depending on whether you're playing as Emily or Edward, making it worth experiencing both perspectives with two playthroughs." It's unclear whether you can end up at entirely different endings based on who you play as, but the scenes featured in the trailer hint at how characters may treat you differently.
Footage also depicts puzzle-solving, platforming, and some combat scenarios. Alone in the Dark launches for PS5 on 16th January 2024, and a prologue demo is still available now on the PS Store. Will you start next year off with a chill? Let us know in the comments below.

I still feel like I’ve managed to avoid seeing David Harbour in basically anything. Jodie Comer’s great though, remember when she was in My Mad Fat Diary.
I've play the demo and it was horrible, hate to say it but if the game bombs than the studio might be in jeopardy with all the thq troubles
The main character looks a bit fruity. I hope that's changed before release.
The demo was certainly underwhelming. Never played the original. With the way things are going with Embracer, I can’t necessarily say I’m optimistic about this one. I half expect the game to flop and Embracer to close THQ Nordic in response.
@Americansamurai1 I really could not tell if the game wanted to be a horror game or not. The only time it felt like that was when it threw a cheap jumpscare at me.
@Nepp67 yeah I felt the same
Has a Game Boy Color version been announced yet? Been looking for a reason to fire the thing up again.
Based on the comments about the demo maybe I shouldn't want to play this.
I think it looks kind of quaint, but in a fun way. This looks like a game I'll snag for $30 next summer.
Only AitD I've played was Inferno on PS3. Game was a hot mess but I really admired what they attempted to do. It was certainly memorable.
Looks good to me.
In the demo you played with a little girl with no weapons. It was more of a visual novel. Dunno why people are judging the game based on it. The main game plays completely differently.
Maybe at a discount? The demo stunk but it was like 10 minutes.
@Nem The point of a demo is to get a feel of the game and to convince the person to play the game. The demo failed to convince me to check it out because the feel of it sucked and didn't interest me. FF16 gives you an entire chapter to get a feel for the game along with a demo that lets you experience Clive's skills and abilities. That won me over to buy it.
@Nepp67 That is fair enough, but they did say the "demo" which is really a prologue was a different kind of game more like a visual novel.
If you want to judge the game for it, very well, it's your choice. But i really don't think it's the same. Even looking at this trailer i can see a very different game.
I will agree that releasing that kind of demo was a bad idea though.
I'm hoping it is good because the old fashioned vibe it's giving is great and the monster design or least one of them is nice!
