The original three Alone in the Dark games are free now on GOG

You just have to be okay with being marketed to.

The first three Alone in the Dark games are going free to players over on GOG, provided you’re okay with being marketed to by the platform.

The three games are available to claim here for the next sixty-five hours or so, but you’ll need to “agree to receive marketing communications from GOG on [your] email address and through GOG services and GOG’s Trusted Partners’ services.”

The first Alone in the Dark was published back in 1992, and was the recent inspiration for a reimagining of sorts back in 2024.

 “A suspicious suicide. A chilling curse. A malevolent power. Finally, a wicked dark secret. This is Derceto, a legendary Louisiana mansion where, against your better judgment, you’re drawn into a world of shadows to explore the darker side of Jeremy Hartwood’s imagination,” reads the description on the trilogy’s GOG page.

“Despite a paralyzing sense of personal danger, your quest for truth drives you to investigate the old house. But, you didn’t know that, by entering Derceto, you’ll be plunged into the daily nightmare that was Jeremy Hartwood’s life. You weren’t prepared for the torturous howls that resound from deep within its halls. You didn’t foresee the shadowy corridors that seemingly have no end. You couldn’t anticipate the brooding, gloom-filled rooms, the pervasive weight of dread, the heavy sense of evil that gills the atmosphere and the very house itself.”

GOG said the giveaway is in celebration of its GOG Preservation Program, which has resurrected titles including these and fellow survival horror titles Resident Evil 1, 2, and 3.

“Across 2024 and 2025, the GOG Preservation Program welcomed 267 games, delivering 1461 preservation improvements — including compatibility fixes, restored content, stability upgrades, and quality-of-life improvements,” GOG said of its efforts.

If you don’t mind the marketing, get Alone in the Dark 1, 2, and 3 while they’re hot.
