Alone in the Dark 2

Alone in the Dark 2 is a survival horror game and the sequel to the genre-defining 1992 original. Set in Christmas 1924, three months after the first game, you return as supernatural investigator Edward Carnby. His partner has been murdered while investigating the kidnapping of a young girl named Grace Saunders, and the trail leads to a gangster's mansion called Hell's Kitchen. The gameplay follows the classic template: third-person perspective with fixed camera angles, pre-rendered backgrounds, and 3D polygonal character models. You explore the mansion, gardens, and a hidden pirate ship, solving puzzles and battling enemies. Ammunition is scarce, forcing conservation. The horror theme is de-emphasised, with foes being ghost pirates and possessed gangsters.
