Game Review (written by Vangaurd24) Added on: 04/07/2007
Jack in the dark is a story about a kid who gets trapped in a toy store. Your goal is to escape by helping out the good toys and defeating the evil ones. I first saw this game when I was a little kid and my parents had purchased the Alone in the Dark Trilogy. It’s a very short game but it is a fun one. This game takes about only ten - fifteen minutes to play and introduces you to the same concepts that the series does.

This game takes about only ten - fifteen minutes to play and introduces you to the same concepts that the series does. I would recommend this to anyone who has played the original alone in the dark series. The game uses the same style of graphics and control styles as the alone in the dark series does.

game to be a quick and fun puzzle game that shows the creativity and imagination of a little kid being trapped in a toy store.
Pre-rendered scenes are used as the environment, and polygonal models are used for characters and objects. As with all the games in the same series, there must be a mention of the graphics—whereas the backgrounds are beautifully done, the polygons are pointed and unrealistic.
Jack in the dark is the only game in the series that is not based on the same combat system it relies more on the ability to solve puzzles than to defeat the enemy. Clues are hidden throughout the toy store and your character must discover these clues to defeat the evil toys and escape from the toy store.
Jack in the Dark is a stand alone game that does not run on any of the series’ games. It came out between the first and second alone in the dark and was meant to be a teaser for the upcoming sequel. As a gamer who has played this game since I was a small child I recommend this game.
I can remember playing it in the dark and actually being a little spooked as a child. It has a cute storyline that any kid would love but doesn’t deal with the violence of the other games in the same series. Anyone who enjoys the Alone in the dark series will be a fan of this game. This is a game that both parents and children will enjoy for years to come. So with my final word on this game is that anyone who likes to be a little spooked and enjoys a good puzzle would love this game.

This little freeware game made by Infogrames is actually an introduction to Alone in the Dark 2. You play a little girl who got trapped in a toy store. This game is supposed to show all the beauty of AITD2 engine and it does it in a great way. And that's just about all it does. It shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes to complete. Really!
