I subscribe to the theory that
Alone in the Dark is very much a survival horror game. As others have said, it may have been known as an adventure at the time of its release, and it could be described as an action adventure, but the games it most closely resembles to me are
Resident Evil and such, and they're clearly known as survival horror games
.
Of course, that doesn't make it a bad game, and that doesn't mean that it can't contain puzzles
.
