Alone in the Dark gets a creepy new trailer

We're not sure that Atari completely understands the order trailers are supposed to appear in. Last year, we got a fast-paced, action-oriented trailer for Alone In the Dark supposedly composed entirely from in-game footage. Now we have a new trailer for the game that's a simple, action-free tone-setting piece that doesn't appear to feature any in-engine stuff, unless the "corpse snuggling" mechanics were more robust than we anticipated.

See, the moody, "Please start pre-ordering our game even though you have no idea what it's like" trailer has to be the first one out of the gate, but if you skip it, you can't come back. It's like putting the milk before the horse cart when you've already bought the cow for free. ... Or something like that.
