Alan Wake

Alan Wake is a psychological thriller from Remedy: a writer reaches Bright Falls and loses his wife to the Dark Presence. Combat is built on the flashlight — light strips protection from the Taken, then a revolver or shotgun shot lands. Manuscript pages lie in the woods and describe scenes you have not reached yet. Chapters mimic a TV series: cliffhangers, voice-over, radio plays on local stations. Small-town mood and soundtrack matter as much as firefights on the pier. Buy the Steam / PlayStation key for Alan Wake and switch the light on in the first forest episode.
