New Alone In The Dark web site turns into a mini-game


Atari/Infogrames is betting the house, the car and the condo on the beach that people will flock to their upcoming revival of the Alone in the Dark survival horror game series. They are putting out all the stops to market the game including a recent redesign of the game's official web site, www.centraldark.com, turning it into a mini-game in itself.

Exploring the map and locations of the game's version of Central Park in New York City you can collect various items such as a pistol, a screwdriver and more. Putting them into your inventory while exploring the web site unlocks special movie download showing off the terrific graphics created by Alone in the Dark's developers Eden Studios. New screenshots and info from the game are there as well. Again, the publisher is suffering financially so it needs Alone in the Dark to be a huge hit. Will the interactivity of the game's web site help with that mission? We will find out for sure when the game is released in late June.
