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.
