Every time you die, your shadow appears to lend a hand. He'll follow your every input, and is a helpful friend in combat.

Description from IGDB IGDB

Pain....Darkness...Alone. A man wakes, no proof of his identity, except for fragments of memory in a muddled mind. Danger...Destruction...Help Me...

Storyline IGDB

You awake in a hospital, no sight, no memory, only pain fills your mind. However, the sound and smell of fire does not give you the time to contemplate the situation. Danger drives you out into the world, cold, and deadly darkness surrounding you. However, into the oblivion of your existence comes Ester. A small girl who serves as the eyes for the blind man and your connection to the world. Her words serve as your sight, painting the world into a horrific image filled with peril. Even this friendship is tenuous... distant memories haunt you. Your doomed past chases your dreams and threatens your desperate journey in search of safety and help.

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

The player can select a male or female character (Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood, respectively), and are then trapped inside the haunted mansion of Derceto. The player character starts in the attic, having ascended to the top of the mansion without incident, and is tasked with finding a way out of the mansion while avoiding, outsmarting, or defeating various supernatural enemies. Although most enemies can be killed with fists and feet, the player can also find and utilize various weapons. Other opponents can only be defeated by solving a particular puzzle rather than a straight fight, while some cannot be killed at all and must be avoided. Much of the game involves exploration and puzzle-solving, and the house can be searched through for clues as to what occurred before the player's arrival. The player can also open and close doors, push certain objects, and pick up and use key items. The inventory is limited, and the player must often discard items to make room. It is possible to discard items needed to complete the game, but discarded items remain in play and can be retrieved later, even if the player character leaves the room. Inventory space is determined by weight, not number of items. For example, the player may discard several lightweight items yet still be unable to pick up a heavy object. Alone in the Dark has a partially non-linear level design. The player character is initially restricted to the attic and third floor, whose rooms are arranged in a way where they must be traversed in a linear order. Completing the puzzle at the end of the third floor grants the player character access to the first and second floors. The player can explore the rooms in this area in any order and revisit the attic and third floor if desired. Upon completing a specific puzzle, the player gains access to the caverns beneath the mansion. The caverns are entirely linear, and each puzzle must be overcome as it is encountered.
