Gameplay Part 4 (Special Episodes)

When the wife of the best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t even remember writing. A Dark Presence stalks the small town of Bright Falls, pushing Wake to the brink of sanity in his fight to unravel the mystery and save his love.

Presented in the style of a TV series, Alan Wake features the trademark Remedy storytelling and pulse-pounding action sequences. As players dive deeper and deeper into the mystery, they’ll face overwhelming odds, plot twists, and cliffhangers. It’s only by mastering the Fight With Light combat mechanic that they can stay one step ahead of the darkness that spreads across Bright Falls.

With the body of an action game and the mind of a psychological thriller, Alan Wake’s intense atmosphere, deep and multilayered story, and exceptionally tense combat sequences provide players with an entertaining and original gaming experience.

In this playthrough we cover:

Special Episode 1 - The Signal:

Trapped inside the Dark Place, Alan Wake awakens in a warped version of Bright Falls that constantly reshapes itself using floating words, possessed objects, and fragments of his own memories. Guided by the voice of Thomas Zane, Alan follows a mysterious signal through distorted streets, parks, churches, train yards, and industrial ruins, using written words to literally create weapons, supplies, and paths forward. The Dark Place attacks Alan psychologically as much as physically, manifesting flying books, poltergeist machinery, monstrous Taken, and looping memories of Alice, Barry, Sheriff Breaker, and the town he’s trying to escape. The episode culminates in a surreal final confrontation against a massive living television—symbolizing the Dark Place’s control over Alan’s reality—forcing him to fight against time itself as the darkness tightens its grip on his unfinished story.

Special Episode 2 - The Writer:

Still trapped in the Dark Place, Alan Wake awakens in a fractured version of Bright Falls where reality is constructed and destroyed through floating words, shifting landscapes, and looping memories. Reunited briefly with Barry Wheeler and guided once again by Thomas Zane, Alan manipulates language itself—creating paths, weapons, and environments—as he journeys through warped landmarks like the clinic maze, train cars, pipelines, forests, gas stations, bridges, and the lighthouse. The Dark Place turns Alan’s relationships against him, forcing confrontations with twisted manifestations of Barry, Dr. Emil Hartman, and the Anderson brothers, while memories of Alice Wake bleed through the chaos. The episode culminates on Diver’s Isle, where Alan confronts the cost of authorship and control, completing his psychological descent and cementing his fate as a writer who must remain trapped inside his own story to keep the darkness contained.
