I watched a let's play of all Alone in the Dark games recently (on supergreatfriend's YT channel) and I am sad to say that after the first, which was already very janky but with a cool atmosphere, they all went downhill from there. Especially with the original trilogy, I felt that the game creator and the players had two different visions for Alone in the Dark: players wanted more (cosmic?) horror, the creator wanted obtuse horror comedy, so we got the pirate tree ending, zombies with machine guns and zombie pirates in 2 and zombie cowboys in 3. All the reboots over the years didn't do the franchise any favour either. Maybe the new game that's in development will give what the players wanted all along.
