Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare... for the Gameboy Color?

I got a year of Nintendo Online with my Switch 2, which obviously means I'm playing old games on the emulators more than the handful of Switch 2 games. 

I hadn't looked at the library in a few years. It's still mostly Nintendo first party games from various regions. Maybe a few of the big bangers from Capcom and Konami. 

And then there was a record scratch moment. Alone in the Dark the New Nightmare for the Gameboy Color.

I know Alone in the Dark The New Nightmare as a Resident Evil clone (which was an Alone in the Dark clone, snake eating tail) on the PlayStation 1. It had you exploring a sprawling mansion, searching for key items, and solving puzzles. So how did they pull it off on the Gameboy?
