Alone In The Dark's ACHIEVEMENTS were MINDBENDING! - The Achievement Grind 

What are your thoughts on this game? Let me know!

To understand the monsters in this and the logic behind what they do and how they act, you need to have read some of Lovecraft"s works. Alone in the Dark is a lovecraftian story about Nyarlathotep (the dark man/the black pharaoh) and Shub-Niggurath (the black goat of the woods). Both of these entitites are also mentioned by their proper names within the game, only once or twice though. The lovecraftian theme also explains the setting, like the 1920s rural south, the cult, the ritual at the end, and a bunch of stuff Jeremy says.

My understanding of the bridge and car scene is that Grace was the kidnapped daughter in that case and is his personal connection to Decerto. After catching up to the father and daughter, their car ended up running off the bridge and into the river. Edward managed to rescue Grace from the car but the father drowned. However, as it turns out Grace didn't actually need to be rescued from her father. By reading Grace's patient file, her reason of admission is that her mother sent her there to avoid 'corrupting influences'. I've taken it to suggesting a neglectful and/or controlling mother and that the father may have had good reason to run away with Grace and away from the mother. I also think it's telling that the mother chose to send Grace to Decerto as opposed to anywhere else, Decerto which is a 'home for the mentally fatigued' isolated from everything and everyone amongst other things. Edward's sense of guilt here lies in his rescue of Grace who didn't need to be rescued in the first place and indirectly killing her father. When grace said the she and her father are still in the car, she only meant it in the context of the memory she and Edward are currently in. Edward's guilt compelled him to try and save both from drowning even though this is a memory and Edward can't actually change the past. In the process, he was nearly drowned by his guilt. Literally and figuratively. I chalked that up to the Dark Man's influence, who's presence alone has already nearly had Edward shoot himself.

I’m not gonna lie to you, being upset about having to untwine the story of a detective game by reading clues is so counter intuitive, it’s literally the whole shtick of any game you play as a detective… even the Batman games to an extent.

I think you would enjoy the game "In Sound Mind" it can be done in 1 playthrough but lots of the achievements can be hidden pretty well. Might be cool to see on the channel and I'd love to see you play through it.

So you're playing the new 'almost not-quite remake' game: that'll be enough to explain why you get a bit lost. It's a late game, and a retelling of parts of an earlier game, kinda like Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. You're straight up not gonna understand some bits without earlier context from the zeitgeist or personal experience, never mind that it's a detective game: you probably should read everything if you want all the clues. There's someone else in the comments referencing Lovecraft, and they're right. There's some small stuff, like the 'scarab bats' being a not uncommon interpretation of Mi-Go, or bigger stuff like the Dark Man being Nyarlathotep or the Dark Young (not itself the Black Goat) at the feast, but there's even larger narrative cues from some of his writings just in terms of story structure. The beast in the woods, by the way, is likely another manifestation/aspect of Nyarlathotep, or a servitor.

Great video as usual Jazzy! A good game suggestion for the achievement grind would be: Control (preferably the ultimate edition for extra Alan Wake lore) . Lots of lore, collectibles and a good story. Keep up the good work regardless!

I get to wake up and watch a fresh Jazzy vid? Nice!

waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait Ichiban in a portrait? 100% of Y7 in the making??? 👀👀👀👀👀

Fable: Anniversary purely for the achievement names :3

my biggest gripe with the game is the two sides you can play. i don’t like the fact that they’re essentially separate universes. i wish they had been the same story but just seeing both perspectives. Edward and Emily both experiencing different (but connected) things, and coming together at the end to have the whole story.

best series on youtube these days. Absolutely love the work you put into these got me doing my own achievement grinds

A great video... I didn't even know a new Alone in the Dark was in the works. Feels weird to not be recommending my usual game. Still, if you want something a bit fun for an day of downtime from the grind, (or perhaps a lot longer if you decide to collect every artifact of the prestige mode) take a look at Universal Paperclip.

Nice vid dude. Keep it up 🤙

tbh he could say he platinumed a game w/o showing the achievement and i'd believe it but i do love that he posts proof when achievements don't pop/glitch out

If Decerto had walkways... They'd be called psychopaths

i wasnt really interested in this game, but this vid made it look really compelling! ill have to check it out when it goes on sale

I caught a re5 stream and now i arrive fast on videos, Nice.

uhh maybe the car bit is his guilt for not being able to save the dad? thats my take anyway

"Lets talk about collectibles" I hate to tell you buddy but that is jsut a vial of rat poisin

Dang beat me to it😭 this week has been adding onto my Backlog with just Rise of the ronin and dragons dogma 2😭

I wont lie, i came here to see if you found a way to get throse trophies that are bugged, and sad to know theres nothing i didnt know about it or the issues. Great videos Jazzy regardless.

Just seems like a THQNordic game through and through, a really cool concept but always just seem a bit lacking in the execution. Please dont get me wrong, i do enjoy these games but there just seems to be something missing from them for me

I was curious about this game because of David Harbour and now I know what to expect from it. Great vid

The Dark Man is creepy. It took me a while, and a lot of deaths, to escape him.

Another banger, keep up the good work 👍

"Watch out where you wave that thing" If i had a penny for every time some one said that to me I'd be penniless 😮 xx

do metro exodus, i did the series 100% because i watched your previous achievement grind on it, also if you dont do it ill send a goblin after you

Amazing as always ! Can't believe how quick you got this out too, a true Gamer.

Yeah nice video also ichiban is rocking that suit

Not even a seccond into the video and I noticed a certain company president on one of those paintings. if its implying somethin then I am far to excited.

Another banger by Jazzy 🎉

Great video man! I saw the paintings! I saw them!!!

Jazzy you should do a teardown achievement grind

I think Alone in the Dark 2024 game laid a solid enough foundation in reviving and bringing the series forward. It plays very much like a game from the early to late 2000s with modern graphics and 3rd person OTS. It's far from a masterpiece, but has reasonable cult status material for the coming years after. Unlike the 2001 reboot, this 2024 game is very faithful to the 1992 original (plus trilogy) in spirit, essence and flavor. There aren't many adventure horror games out there with an early 1900s setting, and that will be Alone in the Dark 2024's biggest strength and attraction. Also helps it's in 3rd person OTS, something most Call of Cthulhu themed games are NOT. So far, only The Sinking City (which is getting an unexpected sequel) is the only other Lovecraftian themed game I can recall that is in 3rd person OTS. If The Sinking City is getting a sequel, despite getting review scores in 2019 so similar to that of Alone in the Dark 2024, then I don't see why the latter can't get a follow up game itself. It all depends on sales performance and a sales tally of 1-2 million could guarantee a sequel in a few years. Since the game is also AA, and didn't cost much to make unlike a certain The Callisto Protocol ($162 million budget cost).

This was fast, the game has been out for what? Less than a week?

Hey Jazzy, another banger of a video! Loved the portraits in the green-screen sections, Ichiban and Jesse look so fancy. Oh, and it's tea-total-er. It's a fancy old word for someone who doesn't drink. Great video and see you later in your streams!

@TheSonOfJazzy 9:27 You don't have enough Scarabs for that, maybe they'll take your tattoo as payment xx

It's been 3 months, I'm just curious since I'm new to the channel, if the trophies that didn't pop because of a bug finally got fixed?

I'm stuck on the chatterbox trophy I've done four playthoughs two as Emily and two as edward and i spoke" to everyone fully like and still don't have it and received the Plat too. 😔 i Absolutely, Love Alone In The Dark Remake and I'm frustrated i can't plat it like. Same with Alan Wake 2 I'm 89% on Trophys and there was glitches / bugs at the time an i was pissed i couldn't Platinum Alan Wake 2 either like. Smh do you know brotha' when the Trophys be fixed like broski much appreciation broski much love,

I thought the platinum was unobtainable for now ? Good to see its at 0.1% now I won't watch the video until I am done with the game.

When it comes to games like this Im always very disappointed when it wastes your time. I thought the other character would let you see things play out from their perspective with more lore being revealed, not that they would just have the same story excluding their background. And a personal pet peeve is that you dont get a "save everyone" option or ending, I know it wouldnt make much sense for something Lovecraftian but its just something my sappy side enjoys.

Man, the classic skins make the game look fun. Just like REmake 2.

hiya jazzy, i’m excited to watch this! however just want to ask if you’re going to stop captioning your videos yourself as the last one didn’t have subtitles either! if you have that’s cool, i know it’s probably time consuming, just means i have to wait for closed captioning to become available to watch it! still excited!

Genuinely curios of the hoodie that looks awesome!

The newest patch glitched out the Nobody Knows What Happened trophy. Any solutions?

I couldnt get the submit ending on xbox no matter what its bugged as fuck I couldnt lower the gun and raise her hand even though I used the paint thinner.

This is a perfect example of a trash video. Make up an issue for clicks. This game is easy to platinum.

Great video as always Jazzy!

I've heard tales of the original _Alone in the Dark_ was a PlayStation boi so unfortunately missed out. Never knew there was a _remake/remaster?_ so might have to pick this up if it's quite faithful. After the vid: _Erm... I'm getting this but, not as faithful?_

Yeah, it's the worst when you have to figure out the context from optional hidden clues. GG on getting the plat done!

I would totally buy this, but everyone says the trophy system is bugged.

Glitchy trophies or really finicky bug me. There are some trophies out there that just bug me because of how finicky they are like apocalypse burn out trophy in days gone, or the trophy in assasins creed mirage when u gotta be in a constant fight for like 10 minutes or when u gotta be blended in a crowd and stealth kill people etc. Trophies that are straight up bugged shouldn't even be a thing anymore in today's world. Majority get patched but there are still some that aren't fixed yet after years of being out already

I completely understand the bugged trophies. In Shadow of Mordor I completed the Flames Make it Go Faster! achievement over a dozen times and I never got the trophy, some games just like to bug I guess.

The only scary thing on whole game is the amount of text (even tough narrated). Otherwise it´s pretty boring and has nothing to do with Alone in the Dark series.

My guess on the confusing drowning part During the old case he tracks down the dad and Emily they are in a car drowning Given the case leading up to that our detective knows the dad is abusive so he rescues the kid and lets the dad drown The reason it’s a zombified version of himself is that it’s his own guilt at leaving someone to die and taking justice into his own hands

ok now get the achievement 'DEICIDE" in HYPER DEMON. good luck.

I wonder why Jazzy doesn't play this on PC instead of PlayStation? It's way better to have achievements all on the same platform plus games on PC are almost always cheaper.

What about the prologue? maybe that fills some holes in the story specially since you play as the kid for what i can recall....

Wait so did you or did you not get the platinum? Should I start the grinde now or wait for a newer patch?

Would watch this as a guide but the vid is too long for me to watch without timestamps and im too lazy to watch it all.

Not a platinum.. This is not Jazzy and his achievement grinds! 😨

was gonna play the game but will hold it off unitl the trophies are fixed

I never heard from you about Star Wars the old republic again

alone in the dark for the ps2 scared the everliving crap out of me when i was younger

Currently playing control… with that in mind you should definitely try to platinum it.

You didn’t read any files or anything

13:40 i respect this, if the game is bugged this is a good way to handle it.

Wonderful vid as always, can’t wait for that Comtrol achievement grind!

You’d like call of Cthulhu, fun game and grind

Hell yeah

Do the long Dark

Hope you plat final fantasy 10 sometime

Hello, the trophy with the one that opens all the locks and doors is the only one I'm missing Did you do this with update 1.3 or without update 1.0? I don't understand the error

DO A METAL GEAR SOLID 5 GODDAMET

0:23 a Speerun? Sounds new :D

Plat darkest dungeon

speerun

Yo

none of the achievements are bugged, they are all obtainable...story is understandable mosty from just paying attention and playing both characters

Awesome game, but i will never pay full price for something that i can 100% in 20 hours.
