October 25 marks the release of Alone in the Dark<\/strong><\/em>, a twisted reimagining of the game that gave birth to the survival horror genre. To bring their new, nightmarish vision to life with the ferocity it deserves, Pieces Interactive turned to two modern greats in David Harbour and Jodie Comer to play their dual protagonists. As Detective Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood, David and Jodie brought the same intensity to their first ever video game roles as they have to some of their best known appearances across stage and screen.<\/p>\n

No matter which character you choose at the beginning of Alone in the Dark<\/em>, you\u2019ll experience the whole adventure through an unforgettable performance from one of Hollywood\u2019s most talented actors. While both characters go through the same events, Emily and Edward will react differently to their environment, and each have unique story moments. They both possess strong, individual personalities and histories, and Derceto Manor\u2019s residents will treat them accordingly \u2013 playing the game through twice is a must.<\/p>\n

David brings his unmistakable presence to his portrayal of Edward, with Xbox\u2019s next-generation hardware capturing every brooding expression and dark glare. In making the role his own, David also injected a distinct humour into the troubled detective\u2019s attempts to ward off the horrors that lurk in Derceto Manor. Alone in the Dark\u2019s classic noir genre trappings and disturbing setting attracted David to the role:<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a gruff detective, and he\u2019s searching for something \u2013 he\u2019s hard-boiled, but he\u2019s got some humour to him. He\u2019 s a bit of a trope, or a type, and I liked that \u2013 I liked the world, and how he\u2019s exploring this insanity, amidst all this horror.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jodie\u2019s ability to become totally absorbed in her roles has rightfully netted her Olivier, BAFTA, and Emmy awards, and she brings that same tour de force<\/em> power to becoming Emily Hartwood. From her quiet fear of the Hartwood family curse consuming her, to explosive desperation in the pursuit of her missing uncle Jeremy, Jodie\u2019s nuanced characterisation of Emily is at once terrifying and heartbreaking.<\/p>\n
\u201cI loved the mystery of the game, I loved the picture of her. There\u2019s a lot of fear within her, and a lot of speculation, and curiosity, dread, intrigue. There\u2019s a lot about her that\u2019s kind of on edge.\u201d<\/p>\n
