Gaming history in your library

Alone in the Dark is credited as the first major 3D survival horror game, predating the original Resident Evil. The trilogy pioneered many conventions that would define the genre, including atmospheric horror, puzzle-solving, and limited combat resources.

Jack in the Dark, included as a bonus, was originally released in late 1993 as a promotional spin-off for the second game. It features the series' protagonist in a standalone adventure that showcases the franchise's signature blend of horror and dark humour.

Modern compatibility guaranteed

All four games are part of GOG's Preservation Program, designed to ensure classic games remain playable on modern PCs forever. Despite their 1990s origins, the titles have been modified to run perfectly on Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems.

The games also include cloud saves and are completely DRM-free, meaning they can be played offline without any security checks or online verification. GOG's Preservation Program currently covers 271 games, with recent additions including Final Fantasy remasters and classic Rayman titles.
