About Alan Wake
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.
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.
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.
