Alan Wake – A Psychological Action Thriller
********************************
In Darkness -- Fight With Light.
********************************
------
Story:
------
In this story-driven and intense Psychological Action Thriller,
players assume the role of Alan Wake, a best-selling suspense
author suffering from writer's block, who escapes to a small town
only to experience the mysterious disappearance of his wife.
Set in the seemingly idyllic town of Bright Falls, Washington,
"Alan Wake" draws players into an intense, cinematic world that
enables players to explore the hyper-realistic and interactive
environments. "Alan Wake" is structured in an episodic format,
much like a thriller TV-series, with a deeply engaging and
suspenseful storyline unveiling plot twists and profound
character revelations in nearly every episode.
Players will unravel the riveting plot through multilayered
character interactions, unique problem-solving and intense combat
against the darkest of enemies. In this nightmarish world, where
the boundaries between reality and fiction become increasingly
blurred and ambiguous, Alan Wake must use a variety of weapons to
survive, including his most powerful ally against the darkness -
light itself.

Features:
---------
Intense psychological thriller. “Alan Wake” delivers a deeply
psychological and finely crafted plot that raises the bar of
storytelling in video games. The riveting story of “Alan Wake” is
further intensified by a movie-like atmosphere, compelling
situations, memorable characters and real-time pacing. Remedy has
a record of creating and developing games with unique
cinematic presentation and exceptionally high production values.
The developer makes use of all gaming technology at hand to tell
a powerful story that immerses the gamer in the intense emotion
and suspense of Alan Wake’s thrilling adventure.
• 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 skilfully combine their use of light with more
conventional weapons to stand a chance against these Taken.
• Realistic, interactive environment. Set in the town of Bright
Falls, the hyper detailed environments of the Pacific Northwest
play an important role; even the change in daylight and weather
will profoundly affect the characters and enemies. The game’s
advanced rendering engine provides amazingly realistic
environments that bring this world to detailed life — from the
lush forest of evergreen trees to the quaint small-town buildings
and streets. The world of “Alan Wake” is alive and real.
• Episodic narrative. The mission-based structure of “Alan Wake”
creates an episodic narrative similar to a deeply structured
dramatic television series. As the episodes progress, gameplay
will evolve to introduce new elements and characters, escalating
the level of threat and action in the game.
• Stereoscopic 3D support. Alan Wake for PC supports the 3D
NVision from NVidia. Although fairly performance-heavy (high end
GPU such as the GeForce 580GTX and moderate graphics settings are
recommended), this is a real eye-candy and further augments the
already vivid, detailed, and wonderful environment.
