Story Breakdown: Alone in the Dark 2 (PC & PlayStation)

One of the best parts of a video game is the ending, but who has the time to go back and play through every game? Let me introduce you to Game Over: The Early Years, the weekly show where we dive into classic games and spoil both their stories and endings. From the biggest hits to obscure classics, we're taking a look at some of the best and most memorable conclusions in video game history.

You can talk all you want about Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, but for my money, the most consistent hero in survival horror is none other than Edward Carnby. He's the star of the barely-remembered Alone in the Dark franchise, an early precursor to the Resident Evil series. We looked at the first game last Halloween, so I thought it might be fun to dive into the sequel on its 25th anniversary. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the story and ending for Alone in the Dark 2: One-Eyed Jack's Revenge on PC and PlayStation. This is Game Over: The Early Years.


Still want more endings? Then I recommend you discover 23 Endings: The Early Years, the holiday series that ran during the 2017 holiday season. We cover Ninja Gaiden, Street Fighter II, Super Mario Bros. 2, Ghostbusters, Golden Axe, Metroid, Double Dragon, Flashback, Final Fight and many more!

And while you're just clicking on stuff at random, I suggest you head over to the Defunct Games YouTube page and subscribe to the channel. We're posting new episodes of Game Over: The Early Years every Monday, along with brand new game reviews throughout the week.
