This is Derceto, legendary Louisiana mansion - where, against your better judgement, you're drawn into a world of shadows to explore the darker side of Jeremy Hartwood's imagination. Despite a paralyzing sense of personal danger, your quest for truth drives you to investigate the old house. But, you didn't know that by entering Derceto, you'd be plunged into the daily nightmare that was Jeremy Hartwood's life. You weren't prepared for the torturous howls that resound from deep within its halls. You didn't foresee the shadowy corridors that seemingly have no end. You couldn't anticipate the brooding, gloom-filled rooms, the pervasive weight of dread, the heavy sense of evil that fills the atmosphere and teh very house itself. Had you known, you might have refused your task. But alas, you accepted, and now you must make your way through this spine-tingling adventure alone... and in the dark.… Expand

    It's a classic and beloved game that kick-started the survival horror genre. Even though it looks quite dated on the iOS, the original Alone in the Dark is a game every fan of horror games should try.

    Time has taken its toll on Alone in the Dark, but having it available on iOS is still a good choice for those who want to relive the original experience.

    We still love Edward Carby and Alone in The Dark, but the nostalgia effect is powerless against its sloppy control system.

    Not even the deeply ingrained nostalgia over one of the world’s earliest “Survival Horror” games is enough to make this port worthwhile.

    Lovecraft fans will get a kick out of the references to the horror maestro's body of work that are scattered throughout the mansion as well. From Deep One through Necronomicon it's all there. As primitive as the game is by modern standards, Alone in the Dark is a true classic, and for a dollar or so on the iOS it's well worth playing, either for nostalgia value or to experience the very formation of the horror genre.

    Alone in the Dark was a precursor game but this version was not made correctly for iOS devices. Don't buy it!

However, what is also brings back are the difficult controls, which definitely aren't made any easier on an iPad or iPhone. Would've been nice if they would have improved the controls or at least gave some options, but then it wouldn't stay true to the original, so I guess you can't have both. Other than that, it's just like I remember it: slow moving, cool, and hard as hell! Worth a buck!… Expand
