According to the company, this horror title received good reviews from fans, divided opinions in specialized media, but in the end it did not have good sales so its commercial performance was below expectations.

Unfortunately, this adverse result at the market level calls into question the plans around Alone in the Dark Well, the remake was considered the reboot of the franchise with upcoming releases in mind. However, it is a fact that its debut did not have the desired resonance and although it is a recognized IP, although not so successful, it simply did not hook the players or attract a new audience.
