For those that demand horror and have enjoyed Amnesia, Five Nights at Freddy's and Outlast in recent years - another title is upon us and offers chilling but can't stop gameplay. Beginning on January 29, 2015 Alone in the Dark: IlluminationTM, has entered private beta status for those that preorder the game via steam:


Alone in the Dark: Illumination features several campaigns with multiple levels that take players through the blasted landscape of Lorwich, Virginia, and deep below ground to unearth the mysteries of the forsaken township. Players fight off hordes of eldritch nightmares while using the power of illumination to light up maps and create safe zones to damage foes. This latest installment of the Alone in the Dark franchise also includes a cooperative multiplayer option that allows gamers to battle The Darkness together with four distinct heroes - the Hunter, the Witch, the Priest and the Engineer, each of them leveling up their different skills.

As part of the pre-order package on Steam, the private beta launch grants fans early access to the survival-action-horror game on January 29, 2015, with a chance to explore and provide feedback on the first campaign in single-player mode. One additional beta period will be announced in the weeks leading up to launch.

Being part of the press made me get a key for this, but I'm not yet sure that it will work on my rig. I'll be back if I manage to play it!

2015, and still making country specific contests on the WORLD WIDE WEB.

Sad, isn't it?

Not really CloneWarrior, I'm sure there's reasons for it.

Probably due to ESRB - Different countries have different rules on druguse etc in games.

Those aren't excuses.

The game is being sold on digital stores, so it really looses any sense that there is a contest locked to a specific country.

It just shows it's lazy and discriminating on their part.

If other countries are allowed to buy the game, they should be fully entitled to participate on the contest too.

Agreed, It's unfair and there's no real excuse when I can buy the title anyway. Things like this make me lose interest in a game so I'll more than likely wait until it's on sale now.
