Alone in the Dark có lẽ là một tựa game xa lạ đối với những game thủ ở thời điểm hiện tại, nhưng vào những năm thập niên 90, nó chính là tiền thân và là trò chơi đầu tiên của thể loại Survival Horror. Câu chuyện trong game chủ yếu được xây dựng theo vũ trụ Lovecraft huyền bí của nhà văn H.P Lovecraft, và được lấy cảm hứng rất nhiều từ loại hình tôn giáo Voodoo bí ẩn của cộng đồng người châu Phi, sự bụi bặm của văn hóa miền viễn Tây và các tác phẩm khoa học kinh điển của nghệ sĩ HR Giger. Bản remake được ra mắt vào ngày 20 tháng 3 vừa rồi đã đánh dấu sự trở lại của một trong những huyền thoại xưa cũ.

00:00 "Balloon in the Dark" may be a strange word for current gamers.
00:05 But in the 90s, it was the predecessor of the first survival horror game.
00:10 The story in the game is mainly based on the mysterious Lovecraftian universe of the author H.P. Lovecraft
00:15 and is inspired by the mysterious religious forms of the African community,
00:20 the fragility of Western culture and the classic works of art by the artist H.R. Giger.
00:25 The remake, released on March 20, has marked the return of one of the ancient legends.
00:32 Hello, I'm Mord Game Day.
00:35 Today we will look back at the entire series "Balloon in the Dark"
00:39 in the past to prepare before starting the story of the remake.
00:43 And I hope you can spare a few seconds for me to ask for a like, share,

00:51 And let's get started!
00:54 The story begins in September 1924,
00:58 when the famous painter Jeremy Hopwood is confirmed to have passed away
01:03 on the throne of the Desito estate in Louisiana.
01:07 Two people were sent to the deserted estate for two different purposes,
01:11 who were also the two main characters he would lead in the game.
01:15 The first is the detective Edward Cronby, who came to the estate to get a piano
01:19 because he received a gift from the former warrior Gloria Arlen.
01:23 The second is Emily Hopwood, Jeremy Hopwood's niece,
01:26 who arrived at the estate out of curiosity about a mystery that Jeremy was hiding
01:31 after being informed by family lawyer Mr. McCaffey about their death.
01:35 Whether the chosen one is Edward or Emily,
01:38 as soon as they arrive at the estate, the door will close,
01:41 blocking them from the outside world.
01:44 At the place where Jeremy died, they will come across a monster sleeping inside the estate,
01:49 forced to escape its fierce chase.
01:52 But that's not the only mystery they have to face.
01:56 During the search for a way out of the Desito estate,
01:59 Edward and Emily will find a dark past hidden in this place.
02:03 This place is a pirate ship called Exetior Breeze.
02:07 The place under the estate is a cave system
02:10 that was used to hold rituals to prolong the life of the pirate.
02:14 In 1862, Breeze died in a gunfight.
02:18 This incident happened when Cronby transferred his soul to a tree under the cave,
02:23 before the pirate officially died.
02:26 The Desito estate was later sold to Howard Hopwood.
02:29 Breeze's soul took the opportunity to drag Hopwood down to the cave
02:33 for the purpose of killing, but was brutally beaten.
02:36 Howard had to spend his life to prevent Breeze's plan to kill him.
02:40 And after he died, his son Jeremy continued that mission.
02:44 And everything happened as we know it.
02:47 To kill Breeze once and for all,
02:49 Edward and Emily will have to find the tree that was sleeping,
02:53 destroy it and remove all the monsters that Breeze needed in the estate.
02:57 After completing all the work, the gate of the Desito estate will be opened,
03:01 our two main characters step out with the car waiting.
03:05 Inside the car is a monster that has not been destroyed.
03:08 It will launch the car into the city in front of our eyes.
03:12 On Halloween that year,
03:16 a girl named Grace Saunders was lost when she was giving candy in the city.
03:20 Grace later discovered a abandoned toy store,
03:23 so she was curious to step inside and was attacked by toys here.
03:26 While running away, the girl followed Santa Claus,
03:29 was trapped inside a candy cane
03:31 and freed him by successfully giving him a toy "Jack in the Box".
03:35 After being freed, Santa Claus gave Grace a new set of clothes
03:39 as a gift for the girl's courage,
03:41 then disappeared for 7 weeks.
03:43 1 month and 6 days later,
03:46 Grace was kidnapped by a mysterious woman to the Hell's Kitchen,
03:50 because of the ghost of Jack the Ghost in California.
03:54 The girl's father, George Saunders,
03:56 found the detective Ted Striker,
03:59 asked him to find his daughter.
04:01 Ted then found his colleague,
04:03 Detective Edward Carnby,
04:05 his wife, also known as the "Super-Eye"
04:07 after the incident at the Reseto,
04:09 to find the address of the Hell's Kitchen
04:11 and set off to do the mission.
04:13 After going through many hardships,
04:15 he will find Grace, but was killed by a monster.
04:18 2 days later, Edward found the Hell's Kitchen,
04:22 because he could not contact Ted.
04:24 Thanks to Ted's careful actions,
04:26 Edward has a way to lure himself here
04:28 and see the rest of the "Friends"
04:30 at the same time under the ground.
04:32 In order to avenge her and rescue Grace,
04:34 Edward went deeper into the Hell's Kitchen,
04:36 and found out that this is the house of a witch,
04:39 Elizabeth Jarrett,
04:40 the ex-girlfriend of the pirate Ezechiel Priest,
04:42 and also the mysterious woman who kidnapped Grace.
04:45 After breaking up with Priest,
04:47 she gave birth to another pirate,
04:50 Jack the Ghost,
04:51 and his crew.
04:52 They built the Hell's Kitchen together
04:55 and lived here until today.
04:57 Back to Edward,
04:58 after finding Grace,
04:59 he had to face Jack with one eye,
05:01 and was caught by Elizabeth by force.
05:04 During this process,
05:06 Grace was lucky to escape,
05:08 but was quickly caught again
05:10 and kept in Jack's flying ship with Edward.
05:13 Until now,
05:14 Elizabeth's witch has just revealed the purpose of kidnapping Grace,
05:17 to turn the girl into a sacrifice
05:19 for Jack's life-threatening ritual
05:21 and happens every 100 years.
05:23 When Elizabeth was preparing for the ritual,
05:26 Grace escaped and tried to save Edward.
05:29 Both of them then worked together,
05:30 successfully prevented Elizabeth
05:32 and defeated Jack's crew before the ritual was completed.
05:35 Both of them then escaped on a small ship to the sea,
05:38 while Jack, Hell's Kitchen,
05:40 a flying ship,
05:41 was thrown into the sea,
05:42 in the middle of the dark cave.
05:44 In 1925,
05:47 Edward's detective continued to receive a call
05:49 from a man named Greg Saunders,
05:51 called from the film studio Hill Century,
05:53 to find a missing film in Mojave.
05:56 At first, Edward felt not very interested in this matter,
05:59 but after hearing Emily Hopwood,
06:01 the former teammate in the film The Seattle,
06:03 was also in the group of missing people,
06:05 he agreed and decided to take this task.
06:07 The location where the missing was found was the town of Max Lauer Gorge,
06:10 in Mojave.
06:11 In the past,
06:12 this town was owned by Jack Stone,
06:14 the son of a witch Elizabeth Jarrett,
06:16 and the pirate Ezechiel Breeze,
06:18 with his brother Elwood,
06:20 the sailor Lee Tung,
06:21 and the lonely sailor Jim Burris,
06:23 as a sailor.
06:24 When he arrived here,
06:25 Edward found a letter warning him,
06:27 "We will return to the tomb of Jack Stone,
06:30 and open a mysterious dungeon."
06:32 It was there that he met Tobias McCarthy,
06:35 the owner of a store,
06:36 and the leader of the gang of Jack Stone's followers.
06:39 Tobias accepted to sacrifice himself
06:41 to help Edward take over the Hill Century's treasure,
06:43 and in exchange for freedom for Emily's group from Jack's hand.
06:47 But he turned his back on the dog,
06:49 and killed Edward.
06:50 Unfortunately,
06:51 Edward's soul was found by the tomb of Jack Stone,
06:53 and he was reborn as a lion.
06:56 After returning the statue to its original place,
06:59 Edward's soul was returned to his own body.
07:02 He then used that power to kill Jack and the gang,
07:06 and successfully rescued Emily,
07:08 who was being held in the town,
07:10 and together they fled to this haunted place
07:12 on a deserted train.
07:14 13 years after that incident,
07:16 people saw Edward for the last time in Delhi,
07:18 before he disappeared mysteriously.
07:21 70 years later,
07:23 in 2008,
07:25 Edward woke up in a state of amnesia,
07:28 and was held captive by two strange girls,
07:30 who performed some rituals to make him weak.
07:33 One of them intended to kill Edward,
07:35 but a mysterious light appeared to destroy the gang,
07:38 giving him a chance to escape.
07:40 During this process,
07:41 Edward will accidentally hear the story of the kidnapped girl,
07:45 who is named Theo Barrington.
07:48 The gang will investigate Theo,
07:50 until the old man uses the stone to show them the light.
07:55 But an accident happened,
07:57 the gang appeared,
07:58 and a black entity took the life of the threat,
08:01 and separated Theo and Edward.
08:03 Wandering in the building for a long time,
08:05 Edward will know where he is standing,
08:08 is a building next to the New York City Center Park,
08:11 and was revealed that he is also a mysterious entity,
08:14 like a monster who is invading.
08:16 But Edward chose to support the gang,
08:19 instead of those entities.
08:21 He will then find Theo Algarra of the building,
08:24 and the two co-decisions to avoid Crowley,
08:27 the leader of the gang,
08:28 get the stone to lead to the light.
08:30 Following the instruction of Theo,
08:32 Edward and another girl, Sarah,
08:35 escaped from the building,
08:36 driving into the city and seeing it being destroyed by the Nazis,
08:40 hoping to be freed from the stone they were looking for.
08:42 The three of them then had a fierce race
08:45 to avoid the scattering and the chase of the enemy side.
08:49 But because the situation was too dangerous,
08:51 Theo decided to give Edward his stone.
08:54 He and Sarah met in room 943 at the museum
08:58 before ending their lives to avoid being controlled by the monsters.
09:02 Flying by phone,
09:04 Theo will receive a call from Crowley,
09:07 who asked him to give the stone to him.
09:10 In return, Ga will help him recover his memory
09:13 to prove that he revealed Edward's whereabouts,
09:15 but he still refused.
09:17 Edward then learned that he had been missing since 1938
09:21 from the American Medical Center
09:23 and continued his journey to the museum with Sarah.
09:26 In front of the museum, Sarah said,
09:28 "The dark force has invaded this place,
09:31 it belongs to the devil Lucifer,
09:33 and Ga is trying to return to the world."
09:35 At that moment, many mysterious creatures appeared
09:38 and pulled Sarah into the museum and dropped her down.
09:42 Edward then went into the museum and saw Sarah.
09:46 At that moment, he was wrapped in an oracle
09:48 created from Lucifer's oracle.
09:50 Successfully rescued Sarah,
09:52 Edward will receive a kiss from the girl as a thank you.
09:55 Let Sarah stay and rest,
09:57 he continued to look for room 943 and meet her there.
10:01 Both will meet the soul of Theo
10:03 and Edward will hear the explanation about the history of the stone.
10:06 It was when Lucifer was expelled from heaven,
10:08 possessing the ability to turn a human into a devil's soul keeper.
10:12 While Edward followed Theo's instructions to the Central Park,
10:16 Sarah will stay in the museum
10:18 to study the remaining notes
10:20 and send them to Edward for information.
10:22 When he reached the Central Park,
10:24 Edward will meet MacCrowley
10:26 and was forced to hand over the stone.
10:28 But luckily escaped and reached the mysterious temple of the Earth.
10:31 However, he needs to find the rest of the key
10:34 to open the way to the light.
10:36 The rest of the key is in the hands of an ancient magician named Hermes.
10:40 Edward later cooperated and took Hermes to the museum
10:43 but caught MacCrowley and forced Sarah to make a confession.
10:46 But Edward successfully shot the fish killer
10:49 and returned successfully to his teammates.
10:51 The three will then find the gate
10:53 that is capable of bringing Lucifer to the real world.
10:55 Hermes and Edward put the stone in to open the door
10:59 with the purpose of letting Lucifer take Edward's body
11:01 and then kill the fish.
11:03 However, Sarah appeared to replace Edward's position
11:06 because she didn't want him to sacrifice.
11:08 As soon as Lucifer successfully captured Sarah's body,
11:10 Edward was forced to make a difficult decision.
11:14 If Edward sold Sarah,
11:16 Lucifer would take over his body
11:18 and use it to rule the world.
11:20 But if Sarah survived,
11:22 he would admit that he loved Sarah more than taking back his memory.
11:25 Lucifer then successfully captured Sarah's body
11:27 and sold him as a lonely man.
11:29 But Edward only left one sentence
11:31 "I'm used to it"
11:33 and then left.
11:34 This was a big question mark for the fate of Hermes,
11:36 Sarah and Edward in the future.
11:38 Seven years later, in 2015,
11:42 in the town of Lowitch, Virginia,
11:44 Lucifer's four eyes still covered the whole world.
11:47 A group of people with the same goal
11:49 to defeat the dark forces was formed.
11:52 Among them were Theodore Carnby,
11:54 Edward's successor, Sarah Hapwood,
11:56 Emily's niece,
11:58 Gabriella Saunders, and Henry Giger.
12:01 The mark of the end of time
12:03 and the series in the long ending
12:05 until now.
12:07 In this re-release,
12:09 the story will return to the year 1930
