Episode 1 Scene 1 | Episode 1 Alone in the Dark Guide

Ignore the fact that the image is blurry, because your main character is starting to regain consciousness. Use this time to listen to a conversation in the background. You can also look around a little with your mouse. One of the bad guys is going to approach you in a short while. Listen to what he's saying. You must use the mouse to look up (screen), so you'll see his face.

Now you must perform a second action. Wait for a confirmation window to be displayed on your screen. Blink your eyes. You can do this by pressing the X key. I would recommend closing your eyes for at least one second. This will restore your vision for a longer period of time. You will be forced to press this key every 15-20 seconds. Thankfully, your vision will return to normal once you've finished this introductionary level of the game.

Be ready to leave this room in a short while. You will be moving in the first person perspective view, so you shouldn't have any problems using the movement keys. Leave this room and turn left (screen). Don't follow the second group. Instead, make a second left turn. Thankfully, your guard will hit you whenever you try going the wrong way, so you really can't get lost here. :-)

You should be able to approach a new door in just a few seconds. Wait for your guard to open the door and proceed to a new corridor. Your character will automatically use the switch on the wall. Your task will be to move up the staircase. Just as before, there's only one passageway here. Notice the weird creature inside the walls (screen). It's called a Fissure. Thankfully, you won't have to worry about taking part in any battles here and your life won't be endangered in any way.

Keep heading forward until you've reached a new door. Ignore the door. Make a few steps forward and turn around. Now you must only wait for your guard to get here. He will try opening the door, however he is going to be swallowed by the monster (screen). You, on the other hand, will end up on a lower floor. Proceed to the nearest corridor. It shouldn't take you too long to reach a new area.
