Story Breakdown: Alone in the Dark (PC & 3DO)

One of the best parts of a video game is the ending, but who has the time to go back and play through every game? Let me introduce you to Game Over: The Early Years, the weekly show where we dive into classic games and spoil both their stories and endings. From the biggest hits to obscure classics, we're taking a look at some of the best and most memorable conclusions in video game history.

Years before Resident Evil introduced the masses to survival horror, there was Alone in the Dark. Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and released in 1992, the first game was a hit with both critics and horror-starved gamers looking to get lost in a spooky mansion. In honor of THQ Nordic acquiring the rights to the series, I wanted to spend a few minutes looking back at the 26 year old original. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the story and ending for Alone in the Dark. This is Game Over: The Early Years!


Still want more endings? Then I recommend you discover 23 Endings: The Early Years, the holiday series that ran during the 2017 holiday season. We cover Ninja Gaiden, Street Fighter II, Super Mario Bros. 2, Ghostbusters, Golden Axe, Metroid, Double Dragon, Flashback, Final Fight and many more!

And while you're just clicking on stuff at random, I suggest you head over to the Defunct Games YouTube page and subscribe to the channel. We're posting new episodes of Game Over: The Early Years every Monday, along with brand new game reviews throughout the week.
