'''''Alone in the Dark 2''''' is - surprisingly - the sequel to [[Alone in the Dark]], starring Edward Carnby once again as a detective - but what happened to Emily anyway?

== Unused Models ==
{{todo|At least LISTBODY has a few more models which are possibly unused, but they should be checked first.}}
=== Female Santa Claus Costume ===
[[File:AITD2_FemaleSantaClausCostume.png|thumb|left|256px|Model #540 in LISTBODY]]
The 540th model in LISTBODY features a female Santa Claus costume instead of the male version which can be found in a collectible bag.
There are only two females in this game: Elizabeth Jarret (the wife of main antagonist One-Eyed Jack) and Grace (the abducted and playable child), both never wearing a Santa Claus costume.
This ''might'' suggest that a female protagonist was originally intended to be playable instead of Edward Carnby, much like it was possible in Alone in the Dark 1 (maybe Emily Hartwood would've made a return).

== Unused Text ==
{{todo|There are more lines in the game's translation file which seem unused (for example, the mention of a "schoolbag" and several sentences apparently coming from Carnby which he never seems to say), but the whole game has to be played thoroughly to be sure.}}
=== Inventory Full ===
Since the save file reserves only a limited amount of items to have in the inventory, the game possibly has code triggering a text message when the inventory is full, telling the player he cannot carry more. However, this message is never seen in-game, as there are not enough items collectable at once to actually fill up an inventory completely.
{{todo|This is the text message found in the GERMAN translation file (meaning "You cannot carry more"). Get the message from an English game.}}
<pre>@10:Mehr können Sie nicht tragen</pre>

=== Debug Mode ===
The translation file contains several lines mentioning debug mode related text (these were not translated into other localizations of the game):
