Alan Wake is a psychological action thriller set in the American Northwest.
When the wife of the best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on
their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t
even remember writing. A Dark Presence stalks the small town of Bright
Falls, pushing Wake to the brink of sanity in his fight to unravel the
mystery and save his love.
Presented in the style of a TV series, Alan Wake features the
trademark Remedy storytelling and pulse-pounding action sequences. As
players dive deeper and deeper into the mystery, they’ll face
overwhelming odds, plot twists, and cliffhangers. It’s only by mastering
the Fight With Light combat mechanic that they can stay one step ahead
of the darkness that spreads across Bright Falls.
With the body of an action game and the mind of a psychological
thriller, Alan Wake’s intense atmosphere, deep and multilayered story,
and exceptionally tense combat sequences provide players with an
entertaining and original gaming experience.
