    Loved this game when I was younger and it certainly brings back the nostalgia. 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

    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.

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

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