Free in the Dark 0.1

Free in the Dark is is an open source version of the engine used in the Alone in the Dark (AITD) and sequels.

What is supported:

AITD1:

Should be completable. Saving and loading is supported, but only one slot is available (the screen to select the save position is not implemented). It's possible to load a savegame from the original game, provided it's file is named "save0.itd" (rename it if necessary). Likewise, it is possible to load a FITD save in the original engine. There is a big issue concerning the projectils. Basically, guns, won't work, and throwing objects may produce strange results. Save before throwing anything, as the object may appear in a wall...

AITD2:

Supported but uncompletable. The introduction is buggy due to a regression in the script engine. Hit 'esc' to skip the intro (both parts) to bypass the bug. Save/load is unsupported.

JACK:

Supported but uncompletable.
Save/load is unsupported.

AITD3:

Supported but uncompletable.
Save/load is unsupported.

INSTALLATION:

Build (with configure and make) and put the binary in the game data directory (where all the .pak files are) and start FITD. The CD version of AITD1 wasn't tested and may not work.
