In this story-driven and intense Psychological Action Thriller, players
assume the role of Alan Wake, a best-selling suspense author suffering from
writer's block, who escapes to a small town only to experience the mysterious
disappearance of his wife.
Set in the seemingly idyllic town of Bright Falls, Washington, “Alan
Wake” draws players into an intense, cinematic world that enables players to
explore the hyper-realistic and interactive environments. “Alan Wake” is
structured in an episodic format, much like a thriller TV-series, with a deeply
engaging and suspenseful storyline unveiling plot twists and profound character
revelations in nearly every episode.
Players will unravel the riveting plot through multilayered character
interactions, unique problem-solving and intense combat against the darkest of
enemies. In this nightmarish world, where the boundaries between reality and
fiction become increasingly blurred and ambiguous, Alan Wake must use a variety
of weapons to survive, including his most powerful ally against the
darkness – light itself.
Features:
- Intense psychological thriller. “Alan Wake” delivers a deeply
psychological and finely crafted plot that raises the bar of storytelling in
video games. The riveting story of “Alan Wake” is propelled by a movie-like
atmosphere, compelling situations, memorable characters and real-time pacing.
Remedy has a record of creating and developing games with unique cinematic
presentation and exceptionally high production values. The developer has
harnessed next-generation gaming technology to tell a powerful story that
immerses the gamer in the intense emotion and suspense of Alan
Wake’s thrilling adventure.
- Light as a combat element. As the story progresses, nights grow longer and
days grow shorter. This poses a severe problem for Alan Wake since his enemies
seemingly gain strength from the shadows, and before long light itself becomes
his greatest ally. Players must skillfully combine their use of light with more
conventional weapons to stand a chance against these creatures of darkness.
- Realistic, interactive environment. Set in the town of Bright Falls, the
hyperdetailed environments of the Pacific Northwest play an important role; even
the change in daylight and weather will profoundly affect the characters and
enemies in “Alan Wake.” The game’s advanced rendering engine provides
amazingly realistic environments that bring this world to detailed life —
from the lush forest of evergreen trees to the quaint small-town buildings and
streets. The world of “Alan Wake” is alive and real.
- Episodic narrative. The mission-based structure of “Alan Wake” creates
an episodic narrative similar to a deeply structured dramatic television series.
As the episodes progress, gameplay will evolve to introduce new elements and
characters, escalating the level of threat and action in the game.
