Let's Play: Alan Wake II

Happy Halloween! This year's let's play will feature the newly released Alan Wake II from Remedy Entertainment. Over a decade since the original game's release, this sequel continues the story of famed author, Alan Wake, as he's trapped in a hellish world of his own making. In somewhat of a twist, also play as FBI agent, Saga Anderson, as she investigates what happened to Alan all those years ago. Meanwhile, creatures called "The Taken" manifest in the dark, so stay in the light if you want to live.

As usual with these events, we'll pass the controller around during our playthrough. We'll have food and drinks, so feel free to bring something to share with the group.

***Please DM the event host for the address/directions. Space is limited, so please change your RSPV if you cannot make it. Also, in order to purchase the right amount of food, please only RSVP if you are serious about attending.

Overview from alanwake.com:

Alan Wake went missing in 2010. He was a bestselling writer based in New York City. On a vacation in the Pacific Northwest with his wife, Alice Wake, he came face to face with a force of supernatural darkness. It brought Wake’s writing, a horror story, to life. He fought this dark presence and managed to banish it back to where it came from, a nightmarish dark place hidden under a caldera lake outside the small town of Bright Falls. Wake wrote an ending to his horror story and with that freed his wife from the darkness under the lake but became trapped there himself.

Alan Wake is not dead, although he has wished he was many times. For 13 years he’s been a prisoner in the Dark Place, where his nightmares, his fears, and his stories manifest as reality around him. For 13 years, he has been fighting to stay sane and write a story that would change reality around him in order for him to escape. So far, he has failed.
