Lagniappes

Lagniappes are collectible items featured in Alone in the Dark (2024).

Description

The Lagniappes consist of common (and uncommon) nonessential items scattered throughout the game. When a set is completed, the player unlocks a secret text containing forbidden knowledge about the world of Alone in the Dark and its characters. 4 specific sets unlock secret objectives and a secret cutscene. There are a total of 15 sets composed of 3 items each, making it 45 lagniappes for the player to find. It is necessary to play the story at least twice to find every lagniappe, for some of them can only be collected by Edward or Emily.

All lagniappes are missable except for the Matchbook.
