Alone in the Dark, originally known as Alone in the Dark: Near Death Investigation and informally known as Alone in the Dark 5 to avoid naming confusion, is the fifth installment of the survival horror video game series under the same name created by Atari.

Originally, the game was to coincide with the release of the film version of Alone in the Dark. However, developer Eden Games decided to delay the game and rework it entirely from scratch, making it seem like the film appeared to deviate from the Alone in the Dark game franchise, save for the fact that the film was in some ways a sequel to Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare.

The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, Wii, and Xbox 360 in Europe, North America, and Australia in June 2008. The PlayStation 3 version, titled Alone in the Dark: Inferno, was released on November 18, 2008 and includes several enhancements from the other versions. The Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions are developed by Eden Games while the PS2 and Wii versions were simultaneously developed by Hydravision Entertainment.

The PS2 and Wii version of Alone in the Dark is a completely different game from the PS3/Xbox 360 version. Although both have a similar plot, basic gameplay, and level structure, the PS2/Wii version has somewhat different levels, cutscenes, and order of events, as well as more detailed exposition regarding the game's plot and backstory.
