About Alone in the Dark
This play order follows Edward Carnby through every Alone in the Dark game, from the 1992 original that helped create survival horror to the 2024 reimagining. The series reboots its continuity more than once, so release order is the play order, and purists should start with the 1992 original.
Good to know
The 2024 game retells the 1992 original rather than continuing it, so it also works as a modern starting point. A reboot film based on the 2024 game was announced in December 2025.
