GOG Unleashes Free Survival Horror Classic: Alone in the Dark Trilogy

Horror fans, dust off your shotguns: GOG is handing out Alone in the Dark: The Trilogy 1+2+3 completely free as a heartfelt nod to its Preservation Program triumphs—yours to keep forever if claimed before February 5, 2:00 PM UTC.

This bundle packs the groundbreaking originals: Alone in the Dark (1992)—the granddaddy of survival horror, thrusting detective Edward Carnby into the Lovecraftian nightmare of Derceto mansion against zombies and otherworldly beasts; Alone in the Dark 2 (1993), pitting you against a cursed pirate ghost crew; and Alone in the Dark 3 (1994), a Wild West twist with Native American mythos. Bonus: the point-and-click prelude Jack in the Dark. Normally ~$10-13, these pioneers (fixed cameras, limited ammo, eerie atmospheres) directly inspired Resident Evil and Silent Hill.

Claim it now: Head to GOG.com, spot the Giveaway banner on the homepage, log in (free account OK), and add to your library—no payment needed. DRM-free, powered by DOSBox for seamless Win10/11 and Mac play, with cloud saves, soundtracks, manuals, and ongoing GOG tech support.

Tied to GOG’s fan-favorite Preservation Program (post-acquisition glow-up under co-founder Michał Kiciński), this drop celebrates 2025 community wins: Dreamlist votes, Patron donations, and DRM-free love that revived 267+ classics with 1,461 tweaks. “A big thank YOU,” GOG beams, spotlighting collective efforts to “Make Games Live Forever.”

Boasting 4.5/5 from 101 reviews, fans rave about the “genre-defining” chills and nostalgia, though dated controls and cameras test modern nerves. Low specs: 1.8GHz CPU, 2GB RAM.

With ~3 days left (as of Feb 2), act fast—X and Reddit are swarming with grateful grabs. Perfect intro to the series ahead of any reboots.
