The protagonist of the game is a writer named Alan Wake, who is experiencing a creative crisis. He goes on vacation with his wife to the small town of Bright Falls, hoping to find inspiration for a new novel. However, things quickly spiral out of control when his wife disappears without a trace, and Alan is drawn into nightmarish events. Strange and terrifying things start happening in the town, and Alan faces dark forces that seek to destroy him. The creation process of the story and its development bears a resemblance to classic horror works, such as those of Stephen King, with elements of psychological thrillers. All the events in the game feel like they’ve been pulled from the pages of one of King’s novels, where the boundary between reality and nightmare slowly blurs. Players will encounter constant plot twists that make them question what’s actually happening on the screen. This creates a tense atmosphere where every step could be the last.
