"Alan Wake is an action thriller video game developed by Remedy Entertainment, published by Microsoft Game Studios and released on Xbox 360 in May 2010. The game itself is inspired by Twin Peaks, Lost, The X-Files and the works of Stephen King.

The gameplay involves heart-pounding moments of suspense and tension that draw the player into the very enjoyable experience that is Alan Wake. You are left with a variety of flashlights, guns, and flares to find your wife and eliminate the Taken, townsfolk who have been taken over by the Dark Presence."
