What Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare is

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare is an adventure game developed by Pocket Studios and released in 2001. It was published by Gradiente. It is available on Game Boy Color only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The Game Boy Color version of Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare received a relatively faithful adaptation of the home console game. The cartridge-based format necessitated the removal of the full-motion video cutscenes present in other versions, and many gameplay areas had to be reduced in size, with some eliminated entirely. However, the basic pre-rendered environments and the 3D characters imposed on top of them remain.
