THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive are releasing the remake of Alone in the Dark next week. To promote this anticipated launch, THQ Nordic has made a collaboration with the YouTube channel and indie filmmaking studio Realm Pictures.
In this project, they put several YouTubers in an abandoned house with many visual and practical effects that had to do with the story of Alone in the Dark. Among the content creators in this real-life experience of Alone in the Dark was PewDiePie, one of the most popular YouTubers ever.
Realm Pictures and THQ Nordic scared PewDiePie to death with a real-life Alone in the Dark experience
Alone in the Dark is a remake of the cult classic franchise with a new twist and two playable characters. THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive developed this game. Alone in the Dark: Illumination, the franchise’s most recent installment, received mixed reviews from both players and critics in 2015. The survival horror genre and the terror genre in general are having very good games lately; this new Alone in the Dark has a lot of competition. The studio is promoting the game to make the best impression possible.
YouTuber PewDiePie was part of the promotional experience that THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive put together to make various content creators terrified. In his YouTube channel, PewDiePie, with more than 100 million subscribers, talks about how he was scared to death and felt like he was part of the game.
Realm Pictures and Indie Filmmaking Studio were responsible for adapting the house and making it haunted for the YouTubers that were part of the experience. The mansion was full of practical effects to scare this special guest.
Alone in the Dark has two protagonists to play with
The popular content creator joked about this experience, but he was really scared, and he cannot deny this. He also talked about how immersive this activity was, and he thanked THQ Nordic for the invitation and the originality of the project. Alone in the Dark’s main plot is about a missing person and two protagonists who will have to walk through the Derceto Manor to find all the secrets behind the weird stuff that is happening.
On March 20, the Pieces Interactive-created game will be available on PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. Alone in the Dark will have Jodie Comer and David Harbour interpreting the main characters, Edward, a private investigator, and Emily, the niece of the missing person who is the center of the plot. There will be multiple finals and different kinds of gameplay for each character.
