|gameinfo = The gameplay in Alone in the Dark differs greatly from other games in the series. It is set out through DVD-style "episodes", where the player can choose to start the game from the beginning, or choose to skip to a section if they get stuck. If they choose to do so, the past events are recollected in a "Previously on Alone in the Dark..." cutscene at the start of the episode. | |genre = Action, Adventure, Horror | ||
|gameinfo = Taking inspiration from the presentation style and structure of a number of acclaimed and globally popular TV action dramas, Alone in the Dark is split into a number of distinct episodes in a season-style format. With approximately 30-40 minutes of gameplay comprising each episode, the structure of Alone in the Dark is adapted for an audience familiar with the hard-hitting bite-size delivery of contemporary TV dramas, offering easy accessibility whether the player has hours to devote or only wants a quick TV-style fix.<br /> | |||

|IssueName=Controller model graphical glitch | |||
|IsFixed=0 | |||
|IssueLevel=0 | |||
|Description=Sometimes the game shows you a model of the PS2 controller in the top-left corner and will "focus" on a button you're tasked to press with a small circle. This small circle is supposed to "hide" what's outside it, instead, in both OpenGL HW and SW renderers this doesn't happen. | |||
|Workaround=This glitch is fixed by using the D3D11 HW renderer, but it introduces other graphical issues. | |||
