The first in Infogrames' series of 3D action horror adventure games. Jeremy Hartwood has hanged himself in a mansion called Derceto, and you must play either his niece or a private investigator and search the mansion to solve the mystery of Hartwood's suicide. Filled with puzzles and supernatural monsters, the hero must solve puzzles and sometimes use weapons to explore and survive the mansion. One of the first truly 3D games for the PC, Alone in the Dark uses polygonal characters and multiple camera angles to create a realistic and immersive world. Two demos were released, the first of which ends when the hero leaves the attic. A later demo added an attract mode with screenshots from the full version, but the demo doesn't end when you try to leave the attic — you're just stuck up there! Only the first stage is playable in the shareware demo. Downloads

The second in Infogrames' series of 3D action horror adventure games. Little Grace Saunders has been kidnapped, and you play Edward Carnby (from the first game), trying to save her. The mansion is full of undead ghosts and zombies, and you pretty much have to fight your way through the whole game. The demo starts you out in the hedge maze, unarmed, so it's important to kill the first zombie and grab his weapon. All of the zombies can be killed with your bare hands, but it takes longer, which is important because the demo ends when one of three things happens: you get killed, you take more than a few minutes playing, or you rescue Grace by finding her, her satchel, and her teddy bear. It's a bit disappointing that you can run out of time, especially since there is no clock or countdown. Only the hedge maze is playable in the shareware demo. Downloads
