Alan Wake: In Detail
For those in the loop, it’s known that Alan Wake vanished for 13 long years. Having overcome the Dark Presence’s onslaught in Bright Falls during the inaugural game, Alan scripted an alternative climax to the horrifying narrative, trading his freedom for his wife, Alice Wake’s, by plunging into Cauldron Lake. While the world largely believes Alan to be no more, the truth is that he’s imprisoned within the Dark Place. Here, he’s confronted with the manifestation of his direst nightmares and uncanny tales, symbolized by a distorted New York – a city deeply embedded in his life and the backdrop of his hit Alex Casey novels. In Alan Wake 2, you journey alongside the author as he strives to draft a narrative that grants him an escape without costing his sanity.
