Alone in the Dark Set to Spook the App Store Tonight

Prepare yourself, AppSpy reports that something Lovecraftian is set to sneak its way onto the App Store tonight. The original 1992 version of Alone in the Dark, widely seen as the game that inspired the survival horror genre, is set to launch tonight - allowing players to take on the role of Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood once more.

For those unfamiliar with the game, your role is to explore the mansion of Jeremy Hartwood, now deceased. Along the way you'll need to outwit or overpower supernatural enemies and solve puzzles in order to discover the truth behind Jeremy Hartwood's death.

Survival horror fans should prepare for the witching hour, when the clocks strikes twelve, as that is when Alone in the Dark is set to arrive tonight for $0.99.
