Alone in the Dark (2008) Message Board  

Well the game should be out in the states today (June 24th) so lets hope we get to see a trainer soon

Well ... got the game ... and I must say I am very very disapointed, Alone In The Dark sucks ! I assume it's my point of view and I'll try to explain myself.

Pros :

- hmmm french developers ? (I'm french)
- french language and french insults

Cons :

- Maniability, old game style, suck a little bit to much, why the character is moving while turning on himself !? I died so many time because of that.
- Visuals, not that impressive.
- Bugs, lot of, especially the UI one.
- Realism, ahahah fire bullets !
- Indestructo-Edward, a Gaz canister can just make you bleed.
- IA, sucks very much.
- This sucky game, developed by frenchies, we're doomed.

Well that's all for now, I'll add more cons when I found them ... if I don't suppress the game before.

Sorry for being so mad a AITD, but 60 € for this game is asking too much !

first trainer posted --> Link


more options to come...

Thanks PWizard, will try it ... hope it will add some fun

Is there any way to get a trainer for the direct2drive.com download version? this trainer doesn't work with my version.

Overall, it's a good game. I normally don't like horror games at all due to the hideous gameplay mechanics. However, this game is decent with regards to controlling your character, although I can't figure out how to use a gamepad to control the game? maybe it only works with the xbox 360 controller... it is very easy to switch back and forth between 1st and 3rd person POV. the parts of the game that are weak are the driving parts, it is very difficult to control the car and many spaces you have to pass through in the car are very narrow, and if you are even slightly off to one side, then the car crashes and you die or get caught by monsters. also, the map feature you get after gettnig the pda is useless, sometimes it seems to show passages that are actually blocked, and it doesn't indicate what might be the correct direction to go. What good is a map if it doesn't show you where to go?

I'm not sure what the marketing dept. meant by "non-linear" gameplay. this game is completely linear. There is so far not even one spot in the game where I could choose my path. Mostly, you are making your way through mazelike buildings and sewers where every path except the correct path is blocked by debris. anyway, the problem solving in the game is nice, having to use fire and explosives in creative ways is cool. I just wish you could save it, but like most games of this type, it only has checkpoint saves, although the menu inexplicably has a save option which doesn't seem to do anything at all.

seems the trainer is working very well but the only thing bad about this game is the driving parts there SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Hard and well done for the trainer cheathappens :P

Yeah the game itself is pretty good, however a bit annoying at times.
The driving feels unrealistic and "sloppy", but it's just a side-part of the game (even though you come to drive a car a lot throughout it all).

I'm at the museum now, but my game keeps crashing every time i try to drop the Lighsticks (those green things). There's no item "visible" in my inventory, but I hover above it and it shows as a lighstick, i try to drop it - Bang. Alone.exe crashes...

Nice trainer though. Unlimited ammo and flashlight and health spray is a real savior!

you might try the no-cd fix on the D2D version and see if it makes the current trainer compatible.
