A mini-game made by Infogrames as teaser to Alone in the Dark 2, Jack in the Dark is a fun short story of a little girl trapped in a toystore who must negotiate a variety of malignant toys and other perils to find her way out.
The easy but logical puzzles combined with the unique graphics of Alone in the Dark makes this a good introduction to that series.

Sorry, "AITD2" of course..
This mini game released as a demo before developing AITD2 to prove the team can make another game with the engine of AITD1. After that they were able to start developing AIRD2. Since 1993, this mini game as a gift has been included with every Alone in the Dark sold.
It's only a short promotional game, so I doubt it is meant to be canon.
How to play this game on dosbox
this game was excellent, amazingly short.
it is not father of 1st one.
at least here in Brazil it was a bonus for AD3...
double check release dates
Yes, this was de father of the first Alone in the Dark... I had at that time the demo, but the complete game was a very short game.
I'm not sure if there is any tie to any of them... I thought I remember it being more promotional content than a full game. Ha ha, I remember dying a lot because I couldn't figure out what to do when I was a kid.
So anybody knows how this game is related plotwise to the main Alone in the Dark series?
No comment nor review for this game at the moment.
