You've got a novelist trapped in a hell dimension to save, and you've only got until October 17th to find even one evidence bag. "We're not expecting everybody to do homework," he said, and pointed to Saga as the route in for new players - because she doesn't know any of the lore either.Īnd, much like every other normal idiot walking in off the street, she also doesn't know to, I dunno, snap on a pair of gloves pick up a bloodstained peice of paper you find when you're investigating a crime scene. The player swaps between Alan and Saga kind of whenever they want, experiencing boths sides of it.Īlthough Alan Wake is one of those games that everyone expects you to know about, Lake was quick to say that Alan Wake II is going to be a sequel, but a standalone experience.

Which she picks up! With her bare hands! Who trained you, Saga? Is this good investigative work? Would you not even sort of hold it up with the end of a pen like we've seen on TV so many times?Īlan is still stuck in a kind of nightmare dimension writing his little stories, or whatever it is authors do (though with enough psychic crossover to briefly cameo in a DLC for Remedy's Control), while Saga is roaming around in the real world in the town of Bright Falls, where she and her partner are investigating a string of grisly murders. This uncovers a heart with a message tattooed on it. She then shoots him approximately a million times before he dies, and goes back inside to shine her torch on a chest freezer to clear away some evil (classic Alan Wake trick, that). In the footage Saga (amazing name for a character in a series about a novelist, no notes) goes for a spooky walk one spooky rainy night, through a spooky forest, into a spooky abandoned shop of some kind, where she's ambushed by a giant deer-themed cultist who definitely had something supernaturally wrong with him.
