In Alone in the Dark: Illumination, players must work their way through a desolate mining town while battling beasts from beyond madness, including Hell Hounds, Ghouls and Demons. These unnatural foes are only vulnerable when exposed to light sources, so players must strategically manage environmental light sources to defeat enemies. Devious environmental puzzles challenge players to utilize all available light sources and scarce resources as they progress deeper into the darkness.
Four character classes are available, each offering unique weapons and abilities. The heroes include the heavy weapon-wielding Hunter, the lightning-manipulating Witch, the divinely-empowered Priest, and the mechanically-inclined Engineer. Completing campaigns within the single-player mode unlocks additional heroes, which then become playable within both single-player and multiplayer modes.
Alone in the Dark: Illumination is the latest installment of the popular Alone in the Dark franchise, inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. Paying homage to the original 1992 title widely considered the "Father of the Survival-Horror Genre," two of the heroes in Alone in the Dark: Illumination are direct descendants of the two original playable characters.
"Alone in the Dark: Illumination combines mechanics from the survival, action, and horror genres to put a modern twist on the classic series," said Todd Shallbetter, Chief Operating Officer, Atari. "By adding the elements of illumination, weaponry, and a multiplayer mode, we're taking a completely new approach to the franchise while providing a more complex and engaging gameplay experience."
Steam Achievements and Trading Cards will also be available, as well as additional downloadable content following the launch. The game will be available in five languages including English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.
