Game Description
A writer with a talent for creating fear is trapped in a horrific nightmare of his own in thisĀ psychological thriller. At first glance, the town of Bright Falls seems like the perfect small town - and an ideal place for suspense writer Alan Wake to cure his writer's block. But the town isn't what it seems.

Enter an evolving, cinematic nightmare where your enemies feed off darkness. As you wait for dawn to free the world from shadows, you'll realize that light may be your greatest ally.
