Alan Wake Features:

psychological and finely crafted plot that raises the bar for storytelling in video

- Massive, open world to explore: The free-roaming elements and
massive open world allow gamers to investigate the mysteries of Bright Falls and
encourage them to explore and pay close attention to detail.
- 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.

the hyper-detailed environments of the Pacific Northwest play an important role; even the

quaint small-town buildings and streets. The world of Alan Wake is alive and real.

an episodic narrative similar to a deeply structured dramatic television series. As Alan
Wake's episodes progress, gameplay will evolve to introduce new elements and characters,
