Do I need to have played the original trilogy to understand this game?
No, although if you have, you will notice many details and potentially some easter eggs. No prior knowledge is required to enjoy the game, yet it will evoke nostalgic feelings for those who played the original 30 odd years ago.
Does this game have any relation to the stories/lore of Alone in the Dark 2008, A New Nightmare or Illumination?
No.
Why was Edward designed to look so differently? (e.g. no mustache)
From the game’s creative director, Mikael Hedberg:
“Edward started out a private detective with a magnificent moustache and gradually became more of an action hero in the later games. Like with most of our elements we went back to the original and had him pegged as a sort of scholarly detective. This was great, as we knew we didn’t want an action hero for our game, but when paired up with Emily he seemed a little uninteresting. Emily was this tormented character with a family connection to our story catalyst Jeremy Hartwood, so she came more naturally. The question then was, who was Edward to her. Turns out she hires him to help her. And she certainly wouldn’t hire just anybody. He had to be at least a little capable. To avoid the action type he fell into the reluctant hero slot and suddenly we had gone all this way to kind of wind up with a classic noir detective. I think with as little we actually knew about Edward in the original game, I feel like our Edward is pretty close. Except for his majestic moustache, of course.”
How long is the game?
If you rush through the main story, a playthrough will take approximately 8 hours, but keep in mind that you will need at least two playthroughs to get the whole story (one as Edward, one as Emily).
The demo was just a walking simulator! Will the main game be like that?
No. The main game features a mix of exploration/dialogue, puzzle solving and combat.
Will we be able to purchase the soundtrack separately?
Yes, it will be available as a DLC on Steam.
