New horror game Alone in the Dark is out now and I've played through it five times already - you can read my review where I highlight the good and the bad of this new game. Despite having plenty of issues, there's one moment that continues to shock me every time I reach it. This isn't a lazy jump scare but a wonderfully curated set-piece event that introduces the game's central villain, the Dark Man, with a bang.
