Tearing old things apart and creating something new
With Alone in the Dark being part of IGN's & Feardemic's Fear Fest, Pieces Interactive's Creative Director & Writer Mikael Hedberg (SOMA, Amnesia) had some interesting insights to share in his interview: https://youtu.be/I68p7r8uIj4.
Alone in the Dark aims to give something familiar to old players and on the other hand something fresh to new players. Not an easy task with already six of those games out there! In his interview, Mikael Hedberg emphasized once again that Alone in the Dark is not meant as a sequel, neither a remake, but rather something new in a sense of tearing old things apart and putting them back together. Simply a love letter to the original. Alone in the Dark is not trying to be something completely new or a reinvention.
"We want to keep what's there", says Mikael. With Alone in the Dark, the studio wants to honor the "freaky feeling" of the old games more than trying to recreate it. Despite trying to capture the eerie essence, Alone in the Dark will offer players a completely new story, including a fantastic star cast with Jodie Comer and David Harbour!
Mikael continues to talk about working with Jodie and David, "They are fantastic [...]", and how they brought the protagonists Edward and Emily to life. Originally, the characters were written more in a sense of being a duo, though, Jodie did an amazing job with bringing in sadness and tragedy to her character Emily which changed the route a little. Mikael states how both of them made their characters more interesting than he anticipated in the end!

Staying As Alone in the Dark As Possible: New Release Date Is January 16th, 2024
Horror games thrive on the delicate balance of tension, exploiting our vulnerability and the eerie embrace of solitude. Envision yourself traversing a dimly lit house in the dead of night, where faint whispers and unidentifiable noises send shivers down your spine. Now, picture this unsettling scenario not alone, but accompanied by a group of 28 intriguing individuals. The fear factor dwindles, doesn't it? Hence, the anticipated release of Alone in the Dark will gracefully step away from the chaotic October 2023 launch window.
Reasons Our intention is to avoid competing with the wake of Alan's epic release and to evade the dazzling skyline of cities adorned by the graceful swings of Spiderman. We aim to truly remain as Alone in the Dark as possible. To honor this, the spine-chilling horror game has been rescheduled to unveil its horrors on January 16th, 2024. This extension will serve a dual purpose: not only will it permit us to meticulously perfect the gaming experience, but it will also grant us the opportunity to fully immerse ourselves in the remarkable releases of October.
