Alone in the Dark One Eyed Jacks Revenge Ps1 Cover Art

Description

In Alone in the Night two, you take the role of detective Edward Carnby, one of the 2 main characters in the original Alone in the Dark. Carnby is at present called upon to investigate a bootlegger named 1 Eyed Jack subsequently an onetime detective colleague named Stryker attributes Jack to the kidnapping of immature Grace Saunders. Stryker attempts to infiltrate Jack'southward dilapidated mansion of Hell's Kitchen and rescue the girl, only to disappear himself. That's where Carnby comes in.

Carnby soon learns that Jack and his gangsters are really 15th-century pirates who gained immortality after Jack joined forces with Elizabeth Jarret, a Voodoo witch. However, the dark magic which keeps them immortal also requires Jack and his crew to regularly make homo sacrifices (which explains Grace'southward kidnapping).

Now Carnby must battle his way through Hell's Kitchen and Jack's army of Tommy-gun-wielding gangsters, searching for a way to intermission the spell and make them stay dead.

Lone in the Dark 2 is an action-chance game, similar to the original Alone in the Dark. Similar its predecessor, the game uses hybrid 2d-3D graphics. Completing the game requires you to solve a lot of puzzles while fighting zombie pirates along the way. Some enemies can be killed with the numerous weapons at your disposal, while others need to be defeated via trickery.

Apart from Edward Carnby, the game also includes a curt section (ii sections in the CD-ROM version) where you play every bit the little Grace Saunders. Grace obviously cannot fight, and thus the sections featuring her are all about fast reflexes and wits to evade and outsmart the enemies.

Music

When Carnby dies, the haunting music that plays in the groundwork is "Vesti la Giubba" from the opera "I Pagliacci".

Processor speed

In order to not requite spoilers, I will try to talk very generally.

There are various actions you're supposed to do within the game that are now impossible. The problem is that they rely on special timing within the AITD2 code. Modernistic computers are so fast that the timing routines no longer work, and these deportment are non achievable by computers that employ a processor faster than a Pentium II. Therefore, you can not finish the game on a modern computer without resorting to slowing downwardly your processor.

There are diverse utilities you lot tin can obtain via Google to tiresome down your processor.

Datapoint: On an AMD ane.3GHz Athlon, I had to tedious my CPU down to about 40% before the actions became doable. I of the very first puzzles in the game is one of the undoable ones, so you should know right abroad whether you lot'll be able to terminate the game or not without slowing downwardly your CPU.
