The game that left it all sitting for the Alan Wake franchise all the way up until 2024 and the release of Alan Wake II! I can’t tell exactly what’s happening about the story of this franchise, other than the fact that Alan has been trapped in his own dream world and has been released during the campaign of this game in a small town in Arizona. You have to revisit three different areas in three cycles as you attempt to stop Mr. Scratch from wreaking havok in the real world. At the end of this, you apparently put down Mr. Scratch but I guess we’ll have to see how this factors into the events of the second game that was released, of this game was just plain out retconned out of the story. An interesting game to say the least, and I was able to get all of the gamerscore for the campaign. Plus, this game features one of my favorite songs by Poets of the Fall, “The Happy Song.”
