The Lighter Side of Darkness: Alone in the Dark (2024) and the Steam Deck Support Dilemma
Alone in the Dark, a cult classic horror game that has haunted gamers since 1992, is set to make a spine-chilling return with a planned remake in 2024. The anticipation is palpable as fans eagerly await the chance to once again immerse themselves in the eerie world of Alone in the Dark. However, amidst the excitement lies a shadow of uncertainty - will the game be available on the much-hyped Steam Deck?
The Dark Truth Behind Steam Deck Support
Despite the Steam Deck’s allure as a portable gaming powerhouse, the fate of Alone in the Dark on this platform remains shrouded in mystery. While the game’s prologue, released on Steam in 2023, has shown promise of compatibility with the Deck, the full remake’s status hangs in the balance. ProtonDB’s classification of the 2008 version as Bronze, indicating frequent crashes, adds a layer of suspense to the narrative.
A Glimmer of Hope
Amidst the gloom, a ray of hope emerges. Speculation runs rampant that the remake will eventually find its way to the Steam Deck, offering players a chance to experience terror on the go. While unofficial support may be the path forward, the prospect of Alone in the Dark haunting the handheld console is too tantalizing to ignore.
Embracing the Unknown
As gamers brace themselves for the impending horror, one thing remains certain - the allure of the unknown is what keeps us coming back for more. Whether Alone in the Dark finds its way to the Steam Deck or not, the thrill of the chase and the fear of the unseen will continue to captivate players worldwide.
