Alan Wake 2
While searching the town of Bright Falls for his missing wife in the original game, best-selling novelist Alan Wake ended up a prisoner in the Dark Place where his nightmares, fears, and stories manifested as reality around him. As you’ll know if you played that title, these nightmares included shadowy men that appeared from the darkness and motor vehicles that sprang to life to run poor Alan down!
This sequel takes place 13 years after the events of the first game, with a focus on Alan Wake and a brand new character, FBI Agent Saga Anderson, who finds herself tangled up in a supernatural horror story that the titular author has written as a means of escaping from captivity.
In the game, you will play as both Wake and Anderson in two separate single-player stories that can be played in any order you choose. Once again, you’ll be armed with a flashlight to fend off the denizens of the dark as well as various firearms that will have a limited supply of ammo.
If you enjoyed the first game for its survival horror aspects and Stephen King vibes, you’ll no doubt be looking forward to the upcoming sequel. Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
