Alone in the Dark 3 is a direct sequel to Alone in the Dark 2 and the last game of the original canon of the series. It has the exact same gameplay as the first two games but with reload action removed, more responsive shooting/fighting and more puzzles than the previous game. The main theme is the Wild West as Carnby is pitted against a town filled with zombie cowboy outlaws who attack him with revolvers and lever-action rifles.

Alone in the Dark is one of the first survival horror games and the first to utilize 3D models superimposed on pre-rendered backgrounds, which would become a key inspiration for upcoming horror games at the time, like the Resident Evil franchise. The player can use various weapons, such as pistol, rifle, swords and knives, though it is possible to kill most enemies with melee attacks. Some opponents can be beaten by solving a particular puzzle, while a significant number of opponents cannot be killed at all or only with certain weapons.

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare is the fourth installment of the survival horror video game series Alone in the Dark. The player is given the option of choosing which of the two protagonists they play as. Carnby's side of the plot is based mainly on fighting the monsters by physical means while Aline's is more centered on puzzles. The two occasionally meet up and the main areas of plot intersect.

Alone in the Dark is a reboot of the original game and the fifth installment of the series. It features a new storyline and characters while still maintaining the core elements of the survival horror genre. The game is set out through DVD-style episodes where the player can choose to start from the beginning or choose to skip to a section if they get stuck. There is also a strong emphasis on exploration, atmosphere and tension with players needing to use stealth and strategy to avoid detection by enemies.

Alone in the Dark 2 is the second installment of the series and a direct sequel to Alone in the Dark. Like its predecessor, the game uses hybrid 2D-3D graphics and will require 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 short section where you play as 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.

A darkness has fallen over the town of Lorwich. Monstrous hordes emerge from beyond the realm of nightmares to sow chaos on the land. As one of four heroes, you must battle the minions of the old ones with the force of arms, and the power of illumination. Inspired by the writing of H.P. Lovecraft, Atari’s Alone in the Dark series is recognized as the “Father of the Survival Horror Genre”. Alone in the Dark: Illumination explores this dark legacy in a terrifying action-horror experience. Battle through dynamic environments filled with bloodthirsty beasts. Build your party as you rescue your companions including the Witch, Engineer and Priest, each with a unique set of special abilities and weapons. Danger lurks in every shadow. While your friends may help, at the end of the night you are always Alone in the Dark.

Jack in the Dark is a spin-off game made during Alone in the Dark 2's development. It was used as a promotional game, distributed at Christmas 1993. The game was on a single floppy disk in a golden wrap featuring a Jack-in-the-box illustration on top. Later CD versions of both Alone in the Dark and Alone in the Dark 2 came packaged with Jack in the Dark. It is Halloween, and Grace Saunders is out for tricks or treats, when she enters a small toy store and gets locked in. The Jack-in-the-Box laughs, the toys play and walk by themselves and hold a dark secret. Grace must discover what secret is that and figure out a way to leave this somewhat eccentric toy store, governed by a somewhat psychopathic Jack-in-the-Box.
