Alone in the Dark: Illumination is a singleplayer and multiplayer third-person shooter game in the Alone in the Dark series.
The game's default installation folder is simply Alone in the Dark
, which causes the game files to be installed into the same folder as Alone in the Dark (2008). This does not interfere with functionality, but is a noticeable developer oversight.
