About The Game

The original game's horror theme has been significantly de-emphasized in the sequel. While there are some supernatural goings-on, the main emphasis is on gangsters and pirates, making the game appear to be more inspired by The Goonies than H.P. Lovecraft. Instead of bizarre, supernatural monsters, the player spends the entire game facing off against gangsters armed with tommy guns (the gangsters have blue skin, green blood, and are apparently supernatural in nature, but they behave like "normal" gangsters). Theme may refer to: Theme (music), the initial or primary melody Theme music, in film and television, a melody closely associated with the program Theme (literature), is the unifying subject of the story Theme (computer), a custom graphical appearance for certain software, similar to a skin Thema, in the Byzantine...

The Thompson submachine gun, also known as the Tommy gun, was an American submachine gun (SMG) that became infamous during the Prohibition era. ...

The game is also significantly more linear than the original. In the original game, the player has access to most of the mansion from the beginning. In Alone in the Dark 2, the player's progress is deliberately shoehorned through the use of locked doors and heavily guarded rooms, forcing a more linear path through the game. The game world is larger than that of the original, however, encompassing not only the mansion, but also the surrounding gardens as well as a pirate ship hidden in caverns beneath the house.

Alone in the Dark 2 introduced the concept of playing as more than one character within the same game. Although much of the game is spend playing as Carnby, the player will occasionally take control of Grace Saunders. Grace, a child, cannot fight and is instantly captured if the gangsters spot her, so instead she must sneak around and defeat the gangsters by turning common household objects into booby traps. Grace Saunders is a small child/fictional character from the Alone in the Dark series of games that are credited with beginning the survival horror genre. ...
