Alone in the Dark is an unreleased survival horror game by Infogrames for the Sega 32X. It was announced by Interplay at CES 1995[2], but was scrapped for unknown reasons.

Only three screenshots are thought to have been officially released of the 32X Alone in the Dark, showing areas from the game's sequel Alone in the Dark 2 (which some publications refer to the game as). It is not thought Interplay used this title officially.

Some retailers appear to suggest development moved to the Sega Mega-CD 32X[3] before cancellation. It is not known if plans were in place to release the game outside of North America, as Interplay had not secured European distribution rights[4]. Alone in the Dark 2 would later be ported to the Sega Saturn.
