So this is cool! YouTube channel GVMERS has just released a new documentary on the cult-classic horror videogame Alan Wake called The Troubled History of Alan Wake, which you can check out at the top of the article!
Made by Remedy Studios – the developers behind the recent hit Control (which has some connections to Wake) – Alan Wake was a third-person horror action-adventure game that was about
best-selling thriller novelist Alan Wake as he tries to uncover the mystery behind his wife's disappearance during a vacation in the small fictional town of Bright Falls, Washington, all while experiencing events from the plot in his latest novel, which he cannot remember writing, coming to life.
In its pacing and structure, Alan Wake is similar to a thriller television series, with episodes that contain plot twists and cliffhangers. The game itself consists of six episodes, and the storyline is continued by two special episodes, titled "The Signal" and "The Writer", that were made available as DLC within the same year of the game's release. Together, they make the first season of a possibly longer story. Additionally, a six-episode live-action web series called Bright Falls acts as a prequel to the game, and a number of related books also expand upon the Alan Wake story.
So if you're a fan of the games, give this video a look! It's informative and interesting, with a lot of fun tidbits and trivia!
