About Alan Wake

Alan Wake follows a best-selling thriller writer whose vacation turns into a waking nightmare when his wife vanishes. Searching for her, he stumbles across manuscript pages from a horror story he has no memory of writing, and a Dark Presence begins stalking the small town of Bright Falls, pushing him toward the edge of sanity as he races to save the woman he loves.

Developed by Remedy and structured like a television series, this action-adventure delivers its story in episodes packed with plot twists, cliffhangers and pulse-pounding set pieces. Survival hinges on the Fight With Light combat system, where the flashlight becomes as vital as any firearm in holding back the spreading darkness.

With the body of an action game and the mind of a psychological thriller, the game pairs tense, atmospheric combat with a layered, multi-threaded narrative. On PC, its blend of dread and originality makes for an experience that stays gripping from its first mystery to its last.
