About Alan Wake<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>The premise of Alan Wake reads like a synopsis of Stephen King’s entire back catalogue – a troubled author and his increasingly estranged wife pack up and take an extended vacation out in some woodsy small town in the Pacific Northwest, in a desperate bid to save their marriage and kick Wake’s writer’s block. Obviously, the place is stuffed with the sort of eccentric provincial weirdoes you’d expect to find in a dreary logging town just off the set of The Shining where daylight lasts only minutes at a time, and obviously, the place is under assault by some sort of furious, malevolent supernatural presence that’s taken residence in the local lake. <\/em><\/p>\n

Then Alan’s wife vanishes under, er, interesting circumstances, and he subsequently can’t seem to walk anywhere without tripping over pages from a book he’s written, but doesn’t actually remember ever writing. It’s all an exorable slip ‘n’ slide into the gobby chops of madness from there. <\/em><\/p>\n

Alan Wake is kinda spooky. I’m putting that up top here, because I know some people* cry like babies the moment the lights go out, and the lights go out a lot in this game. There’s a good reason for that, mind you – it’s only in the dark that stuff really happens around Bright Falls. <\/em><\/p>\n
