You better grab your favorite blankie, because Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare for Dreamcast is one FRIGHTENING game!

The original survival-horror franchise continues with a pure blend of intense action and suspenseful adventure. Edward Carnby, the supernatural detective is back! And this time it’s for revenge. Carnby’s best friend, Charles Fiske, has been found dead off Shadow Island, a mysterious land mass near the coast of Maine. Carnby’s investigation quickly leads him to Fred Johnson, who informs him of Fiske’s search for three ancient tablets with the ability to unlock an incredible and dangerous power. Johnson pleads with Carnby to take the place of Fiske and reopen the investigation, to recover the tablets. Carnby accepts the mission, making it his life’s goal to avenge Fiske’s death and find the tablets.

Carnby isn’t alone on his quest. Aline Cedrac, an intelligent, determined young archaeologist joins Carnby on Shadow Island. This high-spirited adventurer has taken it upon herself to find the missing tablets, but is there another reason she was so determined to come to Shadow Island?

From their first steps on Shadow Island in the cold winter night, Carnby and Aline are immediately confronted by terrifying, evil creatures determined to halt their progress. Throughout the course of their investigations, in every step they take and behind every corner they turn, they are met with suspense, intrigue and impending doom. Relying only on their instincts and limited resources, Carnby and Aline must destroy the sinister force and uncover the truth. Who or what is hidden on this somber island? What invaluable secrets are buried beneath its depths? When will this horrible nightmare end?
