You'll never be in control of Alan Wake's beautiful, expansive world. You won't bestride its mountains with a rocket launcher, knowing you can blow away its bad guys. In fact, you won't be seeking confrontation at all because you're not even sure how your enemies can be killed...Alan's a writer. His girlfriend disappeared, eerily reflecting the events of his bestseller. He develops insomnia. He goes to a private sleep clinic in remote Bright Falls, set in mountainous Washington State. Finding sleep, at last, his dreams are vivid and disturbing. When he wakes he finds words in his notebooks... in his own handwriting. The events those words describe begin to come true.
