About the game Alan Wake 2
Alan Wake II is a survival horror game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Epic Games Publishing. It is the sequel to the original Alan Wake game.
The game’s story is based on best-selling horror novelist Alan Wake, who has been trapped in an alternate dimension for 13 years, as he attempts to escape by writing a horror story involving an FBI agent named Saga Andersson.
The game is based on the majestic landscape of Washington State in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The quaint and romantic city of Brittle Falls is also home to the annual Dyer Fest.
Nearby is the Stor City of Wateri, founded by Finnish immigrants in the logging and fishery industry.
