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.

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.
