THE ALONE IN THE DARK FILES: AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ORIGINS OF SURVIVAL HORROR

Nicolas Denschau



 

Among the most iconic video game franchises, Alone in the Dark stands out. A French game released in 1992, the founding episode of the saga inspired the future Resident Evil to become the very first representative of the survival horror genre.


While all the main Alone in the Dark games were developed by the French, there was no book recounting the journey of their creators. Until this day.


Nicolas Deneschau conducted an investigation to try to trace these creative geniuses who revolutionized a whole segment of the video game industry. Frédérick Raynal, first and foremost, the one who started it all.


This fantastic adventure took on the proportions of an epic journey through French video games, spanning almost thirty years. Alone in the Dark became the witness of a radical change, that of a transitional era, from video game creativity to a more industrial approach. Throughout the pages, the artists recount their stories, full of anecdotes, regrets, joys, and pride.
