Alan Wake is a psychological action thriller, a unique new take in the
world of gaming. The game is set in an idyllic all-American small town
and its surroundings in the state of Washington. Alan Wake, the game's
protagonist, is a bestselling horror writer, who writes a novel about
his darkest nightmares. In the game, those nightmares come true. As with
Remedy's previous games, story and atmosphere are fundamental elements.
The game features a massive, open world for the players to explore. The
game design is mission based with the player as the driving force behing
the action, and as with their previous games, Remedy again focuses
completely on delivering the best possible single player experience.
The use of light is a significant gameplay element. Remedy has developed
proprietary new technology to support the gameplay of the title and to
push the high definition visuals to the next level.
