Alone in the Dark Puzzle Settings Explained

Alone in the Dark is the remake of a 1990s classic. Anyone old enough to remember what games were like in the past will know that they were very reluctant to give information to the player, but they used their ingenuity. However, the development team wanted to keep up with the times and introduce Alone in the Dark puzzle settings that can be activated or not at the player's discretion.

Alone in the Dark Puzzle Settings

Although the development team wanted to recreate the original game as faithfully as possible, keeping up with the times and making sure the game is accessible to as many people as possible is still an important thing to take into consideration. It is for this reason, therefore, that the developers wanted to make Alone in the Dark puzzle settings available in order to make the game more accessible.

At the start of the game, in fact, in addition to choosing which character you want to play, you can also decide the general difficulty of the game and which mode you want to play. Or rather, Alone in the Dark can be played in both classic and modern modes. The classic mode will put your wits to the test and you will have very few clues to solve the puzzles that are present in the game, while the modern mode is simpler.

As if that wasn't enough, you can also choose systems that can be turned on or off to make the process of completing puzzles even more accessible. Let's see together what it is:

• Map Highlighting
• Test Highlighting
• Dynamic Objectives
• Reveal Interaction Points

Map Highlighting

This modifier allows you to have greater and more detailed information for everything related to the map. If you decide to activate it, you will be able to see which doors you are able to open with the items in your possession, and when you have everything you need to complete a puzzle (the puzzle icon will be green).

Text Highlighting

Alone in the Dark is a game where you will find a myriad of written tests throughout your adventure. These tests are essential to being able to solve the puzzles that are present in the game, since they contain precious clues. With this modifier enabled, text that is a hint towards the solution to a puzzle will be highlighted, so you can find the answer more easily.

Dynamic Objectives

If solving puzzles puts pressure on you and you need suggestions on the various steps to follow, this modifier is just the right one for you. In fact, by activating it, you will be able to have sub-objectives to complete, so that you can complete a puzzle more easily.

Reveal Interaction Points

With this modifier activated, you will be able to see all the interaction points that are present in your vicinity. This way, it will be very difficult to lose items. This is certainly a useful addition for all those who are on the trail of the various collectibles found in the game, for example.
