Alone in the Dark: Inferno is a 2008 adventure game developed by Eden Games for PlayStation 3, structured around a serialized episodic format modeled after televised action dramas. Rather than presenting a continuous open experience, the game is divided into discrete episodes, each comprising roughly 30 to 40 minutes of gameplay. This design draws directly from the pacing and delivery conventions of contemporary TV drama, organizing its narrative and action into contained segments that accommodate varying amounts of available playtime. The format allows players to engage with the game in short sessions comparable to watching a single television episode, or to continue through multiple episodes in a single sitting. The episodic structure serves as a central organizational principle, shaping how story beats, action sequences, and pacing are distributed across the overall experience.
