Brings what grabs you about Alan Wake II: dread and tension, lavish production as well as a strong story.

A novelist hunts for his vanished wife in a misty Pacific Northwest town, fighting shadowy possessed foes with flashlight and gun while the pages of a manuscript he doesn't remember writing come true. Its TV-series-style episodic storytelling and eerie atmosphere are the main draw.

As Jesse Faden you explore the shifting headquarters of a secret paranormal agency, fighting an otherworldly invasion with telekinesis and a shape-shifting service weapon. Spectacular destructible combat meets a surreal, bureaucratic New Weird mystery.
