The third chapter in the Alone in the Dark series finds detective Edward Carnby exploring an authentic, and haunted, Wild West ghost town, investigating the disappearance of a film crew that had been shooting in the area. Loony prospectors and undead outlaws lurk nearby to make the job of exploring the town's secret passageways more difficult. Alone in the Dark 3 uses the same third person interface that made the first two titles so popular.

Sharp thinking and sharp shooting are needed to survive, because you will never know what's lurking around corners in this spooky title. Solving puzzles and killing bad guys are the order of business, and business is booming. Although the setting seems out of place compared to the previous titles, fans of the series know that where there's supernatural evil, Edward Carnby can't be far behind. ~ Scott Steinberg, All Game Guide
