Edward Carnby stands 15 centimeters tall on your shelf, and he's brought some friends. The Alone in the Dark Limited Edition on PC comes in a large cardboard box housing the game disc, a soundtrack disc in a jewel case, a making-of DVD in a cardboard wallet, a hardcover art book, and that Carnby figurine standing guard over the whole package.

This was a GAME.co.uk exclusive in the UK, which immediately puts it in limited-availability territory. The figurine is the centerpiece, giving physical form to survival horror's original protagonist in a way that few editions from this era attempted. The hardcover art book adds substance, the soundtrack disc delivers atmosphere outside the game, and the making-of DVD rounds out a package that covers every angle a collector could want.

Alone in the Dark occupies a complicated place in gaming history. The 2008 reboot divided players, but the franchise's legacy as the grandfather of survival horror is unassailable. This Limited Edition treats the IP with a respect that acknowledges that lineage, giving Carnby the figurine treatment and surrounding him with premium materials. The large box format means this edition has genuine display presence, standing tall among other PC boxes from the era. UK exclusivity through a single retailer keeps the numbers low, and complete sets with the figurine in good condition are the ones worth hunting. For survival horror historians and PC shelf builders, this is a piece of genre history you can hold in your hands.
