How to Dodge

Alone in the Dark is fairly straightforward with its controls, and tutorials will pop up throughout the game telling you what most of them are. One thing the game never tells you, however, is how to dodge, which can be incredibly useful in your survival. In this guide, we will go over how to dodge.

In order to dodge, you simply have to press / plus the direction you want to move. This will cause your character to quickly move in the direction that you’re moving (or backwards if you’re not pressing a direction). This is an extremely helpful tool to use in battle, as Edward and Emily’s movements can be pretty sluggish normally, making it hard to avoid attacks otherwise.

There are a couple things to keep in mind when using your dodge, however. If you are in the middle of reloading, dodging will interrupt your reload, meaning you’ll have to do it again once the dodge is done. On top of this, you should keep in mind that you are not invincible while dodging, so if you go in the wrong direction, you can easily open yourself up to taking more damage.

Now that you know how to dodge, you can have it ready for when something is about to hit you or if you get surrounded, and you can save yourself some drinks!
