ALONE IN THE DARK

A Chilling 3-D Foray Into The Macabre Mansion Of Derceto

A suspicious suicide. A chilling curse. A malevolent power. And a wicked dark secret. This is Derceto, legendary Louisiana mansion—where, against your better judgement, you're drawn into a world of shadows to explore the darker side of Jeremy Hartwood's imagination.

Despite a paralyzing sense of personal danger, your quest for truth drives you to investigate the old house. But, you didn't know that by entering Derceto, you'd be plunged into the daily nightmare that was Jeremy Hartwood's life. You weren't prepared for the torturous howls that resound from deep within its halls. You didn't foresee the shadowy corridors that seemingly have no end. You couldn't anticipate the brooding, gloom-filled rooms, the pervasive weight of dread, the heavy sense of evil that fills the atmosphere and the very house itself.

Had you known, you might have refused your task. But alas, you accepted, and now you must make your way through this spine-tingling adventure alone ... and in the dark.

Learning how to deal with the hideous, hidden monsters is all part of the creepy fun.

Designed with an action format, this is the first full-screen 3-D Adventure game for the PC.

Depending on your location in the room, you will view the action from up to nine different angles.

Down in the creepy catacombs. Derceto is dark and sinister. Unfortunately, this is where your quest must ultimately lead.
