One of the most defining aspects of a horror game is its difficulty against the inevitable monsters that appear sooner or later, and Alone in the Dark is not immune to these. Here are the settings you can change when deciding if you want easier or more difficult conflicts.
All Alone in the Dark Difficulty Settings
At the start of a new playthrough there are three different difficulty options. These will only affect combat against monsters, and puzzles/investigation won’t be affected by this choice. You can swap it whenever you want through the menu, so your choice is not permanent. If you ever feel like fending off creatures is a snoozefest, you could bump up their stats for a bit.
