gammaleak: So, Alone in the Dark 1 obviously has gotten the full GOG treatment in that it's got the GOG installer and it should work on the versions of Windows specified.

But what about 2 & 3? The way they're included as "bonuses" seems to indicate that they haven't gotten the full GOG treatment. Can someone who has purchased the game confirm how those work?

Thanks!

TrIp13G: About this...is it safe to say that the reception of the subsequent games in the trilogy was not as fond as that of the first game? That's the only reason I can think of that GOG would basically say "You get this classic PC game! (oh yeah and here's two extra games, but nobody wants to hear about that)".

maul_inc: The sequels weren't bad, but the first is really good Imho. Aitd2 was too focused on action but the third did a better job of mixing puzzles and action.

But expect all 3 games to be hard as hell compared to modern games (Don't be too proud to look at walkthroughs if you get stuck).

Grimdango: The 1st adventure is very Lovecraftian, and the next 2 are more Scooby-Doobian (but still fun!)

toretorden: It seems AITD is actually set in Lovecraft's Cthulhu setting, or at least the way it is interpreted by the game designers. In AITD, you find several references to characters and going-ons that would show up in Infograme's game "Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet" which was released after AITD in 1993, suggesting that both games take place in the same world.
