"Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare" is a mild horror game wich is fun, has acceptable graphics (considering that it is from 2001) and a nice story.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I had zero issues running it without changing any graphic settings or modding but it is a known issue buyer beware. controller support seems to work just fine but you will need to map out your controller in game at the start before selecting new game by doing so you will have full controller function.
