About Alan Wake 2

Alan Wake 2 poster

Alan Wake 2 unfolds across two realities and two protagonists whose fates are quietly entwined. In Bright Falls, FBI agent Saga Anderson arrives to investigate a string of ritualistic murders, only for her case to twist into a nightmare when she finds pages of a horror story coming true around her. Elsewhere, the lost writer Alan Wake, trapped in a dark dimension, pens his own story in a desperate bid to reshape reality and escape.

The two heroes reflect and echo one another, each affecting the world of the other in ways they can't fully grasp. As supernatural darkness bleeds into Bright Falls, corrupting locals and endangering the people both characters hold dear, light becomes their weapon and their only refuge against the horror closing in.

As a survival horror adventure for PC, the game builds from a small-town murder inquiry into a sprawling psychological ordeal. Uncovering the source of the darkness and deciding whether Anderson and Wake can become the heroes their story demands drives this tense, atmospheric journey.
