Overview
Description

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare is the fourth installment in the iconic survival horror video game series. Players can choose between two distinct protagonists: Edward Carnby, whose gameplay focuses on physical combat against terrifying monsters, and Aline Cedrac, whose journey centers on intricate puzzle-solving. Set on October 31, 2001, the story follows Carnby as he investigates the death of his partner, Charles Fiske, near Shadow Island. After their plane is attacked mid-flight, Carnby and Aline are separated and must navigate the horrors of a mysterious manor and its surrounding grounds to recover three ancient and dangerous tablets.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world action-adventure game set in Night City, a sprawling metropolis driven by power, glamour, and body modification. Players assume the role of V, a mercenary outlaw in pursuit of a unique implant that holds the key to immortality, navigating a world where mega-corporations operate above the law. In a gritty future defined by cyberware, violent crime, and extreme poverty, your choices directly influence both the narrative and the world around you. Experience deep role-playing customization of skills, cybernetics, and playstyle as you carve your own legend in the streets of Night City.

Been playing Cyberpunk 2077 with friends. Strong main story and Phantom Liberty. One gripe: demanding hardware for ray tracing. Would recommend.
