Alone in the Dark
(The Walkthrough Ver. 1.0)

This is a COMPLETE SPOILER to the Alone in the Dark game for the PC.
It will get the player through quickly and assumes the player either
retains all (s)he reads or does not care at all about the story that
goes with the game. All unnecessary and used items are left behind
as soon as possible. Most things that do not need to be done to
finish the game are marked as optional. This is by no means the
only order of events that leads to a completed game, but it is
nearly the most efficient. Distribute this freely and add to it as
you wish just maintain the credits. Enjoy!

In the LOFT: Push the Wardrobe in front of the window to keep out
the winged beast. Then push the Chest over the trapdoor in the
floor to keep out the Zombie. Now you can safely search the LOFT.
Open the Chest to get the rifle. There is a note behind the Piano
on its right- hand side. There is a Book in the small bookcase
opposite the window. Read and leave the Book (Extracts of Golden
Fleece) and the note. Open/Search the Wardrobe to get the Indian
Cover. Take the Lantern from the table. Exit through the opening
in the corner to the Right of the barrels (the same way you entered)
