DOS screenshots

thumbnail — Title screen

thumbnail — Choosing your character - Edward or Emily

thumbnail — Copy protection! Ahh, the good old days...

thumbnail — The game opens with a cinematic introduction

thumbnail — A masterful shot from the intro - if this doesn't give you the creeps, I don't know what would!

thumbnail — Entering the house... what lies ahead?..

thumbnail — Exploring as Emily. This is the first room you'll get into

thumbnail — The menu allows you to choose various actions

thumbnail — Fighting a pretty scary creature. Note how the camera angle changes in a cinematic way

thumbnail — The Necronomicon is one of the books you'll discover in the game. Yes, it was inspired by Lovecraft

thumbnail — Main hall. Nice art!

thumbnail — In a library

thumbnail — Shall we dance?

thumbnail — A coat of arms and a hidden entrance to the tunnels.

thumbnail — "Indiana Jones - Alone in the Dark"

thumbnail — And slash!

thumbnail — Some items are related to the game's action element...

thumbnail — ...and some others serve different purposes - perhaps as solutions to puzzles?..

thumbnail — Killed by a cool purple gargoyle!

thumbnail — Game Over - an elaborate row of animations, one of which is this sad picture...

thumbnail — Evil rules in the house!..

thumbnail — Edward is relaxing in the garden, admiring the statues. This is definitely one of the brightest, most peaceful scenes in the game

thumbnail — You'll find books - but also personal diaries. This story begins in a spooky way already...

thumbnail — Ahh, just look at this... Zombies gathered for a lunch. Please! Monsieur! Try this delicious... err... cerveaux humains!

thumbnail — Arrrgh!.. Ahoy, matey!.. Seriously now - one of the bosses you'll have to fight in the game is a pirate

thumbnail — Pulling out your revolver at the strange painting... Relax, Ed - it's okay now...

thumbnail — Cool cinematic angles abound in this innovative game. I see some items ahead...

thumbnail — Some rooms are dark (hence the need for an oil lamp). And you are alone. That's how the game got its title, see?

thumbnail — What, you had a nightmare? Don't jump out of the bed with a dagger, dude...

thumbnail — Being attacked by rats in the basement. I should have never booked this vacation...

thumbnail — Oh wow! A mysterious brownish cave, a horrifying huge monster coming out... dramatic, isn't it?

thumbnail — You are hit by some crazy boulder (or energy ball). After a few awkward (yet realistic!) animations, you die

thumbnail — One of the close-ups of the dynamic camera. Yeah, low polygon count - so what? At that time it was state of the art. And, this game lets you drop any item anywhere, as you can see

thumbnail — Behold me! The mighty master of black balls!!... ... Ok. Ok. I could've rephrased that

thumbnail — Fighting a giant spider! Come on, Edward, show him who is the boss!!.. ... (it's still the spider, but you get the point!)

thumbnail — Traversing a difficult maze. Falling into the water

thumbnail — Part of the dying animation - serene, tranquil, macabre, and artsy in a disturbing way

thumbnail — This cave is completely dark. Even with the lamp you can only see so much

thumbnail — A beautiful place - but is it as peaceful as it seems?..

thumbnail — Here is a example of the camera angles: In this shot, this is the right hand side. Both stairs (not shown, only the one on the right) can lead to the hallway.

thumbnail — ...and sword-fighting!

thumbnail — 'Hey, listen, don't take it personally. I love your fashion sense. Dig the stylish purple vest, I do. But I just get all nervous when people try to slowly kill me, you know what I'm saying?..'

thumbnail — The death scene is beautiful. Chopin music, zombie slowly carrying the corpse away... aesthetically pleasing

thumbnail — Yup, that's how it is. Better luck next time, Em!..

thumbnail — Look, you should certainly fire whoever is responsible for security in this villa; but don't fire your interior decorator!

thumbnail — Oh wow! That's an item! Very nice, zoomed-in, 3D... item

thumbnail — One of the game's famous "Booh!..." moments. You just "triggered" this attack. Very scary and cool

thumbnail — Another beautiful Game Over screen

thumbnail — Bathroom. Hey, I really need to wash my hair... don't suppose you've got good shampoo here? No? What, the zombie used it all?.. Oh, I see...

thumbnail — It's really nice you put those gargoyle statue here... adds to the flavor and all... wait... IT'S NOT A STATUE?!!..

thumbnail — Playing as Edward. Taking out the lamp. Edward should consider shaving off the moustache. He looks like a Salvador Dali wannabe, just without the demonic eyes
