Developed by Eden Games, Alone in the Dark for Xbox 360 and Games for Windows marks a blistering return for the legendary franchise with startling innovations and wide screen cinematic presentation. The game follows paranormal investigator Edward Carnby over the course of one apocalyptic night in which he must fight to survive and uncover the earth-shattering secret behind New York's Central Park. With an exhilarating mix of challenging gameplay, intense storytelling in the style of a blockbuster TV series, unprecedented environmental interaction, realistic fire physics as a core gameplay element, and a DVD chapter select feature which lets everyone reach the game's climax, Alone in the Dark is set to change what players expect from video games.

The Wii and PlayStation 2 system versions of Alone in the Dark were developed by Hydravision Entertainment in parallel with versions created by Eden Games for Xbox 360 and Games for Windows. The PlayStation 2 system game pushes the hardware to maximize the gameplay experience, while the Wii game has been specially adapted to make use of the unique controllers which perfectly suit the immersive gameplay that ranges from driving to real-time manipulation of objects.
