Alone in the Dark: Illumination is the sixth installment of the survival horror video game series under the same title by Atari SA. It's also the last title in the series to be published by Atari as the IP has since been acquired by THQ Nordic. The game is developed by Pure FPS for Windows and is the series' first installment to be played online and in a cooperative setting. The game was panned heavily.
Plot[]
The game brings players to the abandoned town of Lorwich, Virginia. Located near Virginia's southern border, Lorwich was a flourishing industrial town with a bustling business generated by the local coal mines. Those prosperous days came to an end when a flood devastated the mining facility, leaving behind nothing but destruction in its wake. The disaster forced an immediate evacuation, leaving the town desolate. It has been years since the accident, and the town has long been forgotten.
The cause of the accident is still a mystery and, years later, nobody dares to step a foot in the town for fear of what lies there. There have been numerous reports of strange creatures and a dark, brooding fog within the town. Some locals who believe in the supernatural say that there lurks an ever-present force known as The Darkness. The Darkness is said to envelop everything in its path, and can reveal itself in many ways, such as fog, apparitions, and creatures.
