Alone in the Dark Playable Characters Explained
Alone in the Dark originally launching in 1992 and is widely considered to be one of the games responsible for launching the survival horror genre. Unfortunately, many may not have heard of it before, but that seems to be changing.
Although the franchise has waned in recent years with other IPs such as Resident Evil taking the genre by storm, it appears that Alone in the Dark is attempting to stage a comeback. With THQ Nordic recently announcing a modernized reboot of the original title, there are two distinct playable characters that will most likely feature, who fans should be aware of.
Alone in the Dark and Resident Evil Have Come Full Circle
Considered to be the main protagonist of the Alone in the Dark franchise due to his consistent appearance throughout different installments, Edward Carnby is likely the character that most fans will remember. A professor and private investigator, Carnby is as intelligent as he is proficient in combat and self-defense.
A decidedly no-nonsense and jaded individual, Edward Carnby was first introduced within the original Alone in the Dark as one of two main character choices. Should the player choose Carnby as the protagonist, he is sent into the sinister Derceto Manor to obtain a historic piano for an antiques dealer. Upon entering the mansion, Carnby discovers a litany of nefarious secrets and dark magic, forcing him to fight an array of paranormal monsters. Edward's gameplay differed from the title's other protagonist in that he had a longer reach and a wider array of kicking styles during combat, making him a much more proficient fighter. Eventually escaping the tumultuous mansion, Carnby would go on to be the sole protagonist of most other Alone in the Dark franchise installments.
