GOG is celebrating its growing Preservation Program by handing out a free copy of Alone in the Dark: The Trilogy, but you’ll need to grab it before February 5th at 2PM UTC. The bundle covers the first three Alone in the Dark games, plus the Jack in the Dark promo episode, in updated, ready-to-run form for modern Windows.
If you previously missed the series, these are some of the foundational 3D survival horror titles, predating Resident Evil and establishing a lot of the “fixed camera, tank controls, spooky mansion” DNA everyone else would later run with. GOG’s Preservation Program versions have been tweaked to behave on Windows 10 and 11, with extras like cloud saves and the usual DRM-free setup so you can back them up or throw them on a handheld without nagging launchers. To claim the trilogy, you just log in to GOG, go to the game’s page, and add it to your library before the deadline; after that, it’s yours permanently.
The giveaway doubles as a promo for GOG’s broader preservation push, which has been ramping up over the last couple of years. Their new blog and press posts highlight the Dreamlist system, where users vote on which classics they want revived, and note that in 2025 alone, there were over 13 million votes and more than 300 games added, including long-missing titles like Breath of Fire IV. The Preservation Program lineup itself is now in the hundreds, with GOG promising ongoing maintenance so these games continue to run as OSes and hardware evolve.
