Do not buy. You do not see "alone in the dark 1,2,3" on the Steam library list in the profile.
I and the Steam community have a problem with the games "Alone in the Dark" 1,2,3. On the Steam platform in the profile of each player, the games are not publicly displayed. When you buy "Alone in the Dark Anthology" games on the Steam store, they appear only in the library in a secretive way, but do not appear in the profile openly for other people's eyes, so that people do not see these bought games . You need to fix it.
In General, buying does not make sense. Do not buy.:steamfacepalm:

I'd recommend buying the game AS OF NOW on GOG as it's both cheaper for the three dos games + you get extra stuff like full soundtrack downloads + manuals as opposed to steam where it's just the barebones download of being the game.

The only benefit steam gives you is access to guides + steam reviews but steam reviews isn't really important as everyone knows what this game is like.

No, they are not on your list in profile: http://funkyimg.com/view/2z3cF

I see. Hmm, that's a bit odd.

Yes, it sadly doesn't show up in your playtime or profile. Ironically it counts hours but it's only visible in your library for yourself.

The game is still a good buy, but I hope too that this will be fixed by Steam.

Its not a big deal tbh, since you can play the game so no problem.

Dude are you for real? are you really buying games just so people can see you playing them. Enjoy the game series for what they are not for some social attention.

I just played a bit of AITD1, the jump scare music is a little too orchestral, and doesnt sound much like the original DOS game. Thats kinda bummer.

That's because this is the CD-ROM version, not the floppy disk version.

The game plays just fine; i don't see why the game not being visible to your friends is a reason to not enjoy the game. That's just silly; these are classics and are entirely worth the purchase :ftw:

It is still a problem and yes it bothers me. Is it a glitch or on purpose!? Something like hiding it from profiles!? Because all seems normal. Every game has his own ID and it is counting playtime.

I remember the "Sherlock Holmes" games had similar problems. They had a glitch where the connection to the steam database was missing and some tickets by myself later, it was fixed. But this one seems different.

Is it at least +1 btw!?

This is due to the specifics of adding the game to the Steam package by the publisher. They did it in a not very correct and non-obvious way (usually games are not added this way), but, apparently, they will not change anything, they do not see the problem, since they have not fixed it for so many years.
It seems they tried to make one ID for all 4 games but failed. Idk. Sad. Like this it is not living up to this cool classic.
