In the dimly lit studio, the air hummed with anticipation as Alan Wake stood backstage, the echo of electric guitars tuning in the background. He could feel the energy vibrating through the air, a tangible force that seemed to echo the pulse of his own heart. The stage lights flickered as the announcer's voice echoed through the cavernous space. "Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Tonight, in this very studio, we have the legendary Old Gods of Asgard, joined by the brilliant Alan Wake, ready to take you on a journey through the realms of rock and imagination!" As the crowd erupted in cheers, Alan took a deep breath, his mind already weaving the narrative that would unfold in the next few moments. The stage curtains lifted, revealing a surreal set that seemed to blend the ethereal with the familiar. The Old Gods of Asgard, adorned in majestic, weathered attire, stood like ancient titans, their instruments gleaming with an otherworldly glow.

@@Wedge_The_Almighty Not OP, but I do creative writing as a hobby. Starting off writing fiction, I found the following three things most helpful. First, show don't tell unless you really need to tell something to the reader. (I.E., "Alan Wake widened his eyes when he saw Mr. Door" vs. "Alan Wake was surprised to see Mr. Door" -- widening his eyes shows the reader he's surprised, instead of telling him outright he's surprised.) Second, start writing flash fiction instead of longer pieces. Flash fictions cap out at 500 - 1.5K words and are great to start with writing if you're new to storytelling and editing. Last, give your story at least two drafts before you chuck it in the bin if you're unhappy. Some of mine take at least three - four rounds of editing before I really like them, and it's normal to not like your original manuscript when you first write it!

Nah, the Dark Place is just an "empty" space. Waiting to be filled by the minds of whoever occupies it. It's just that right now the major occupants are Alan, The Dark Presence, and Mr. Door. And so this is the result. My theory is that it's only scary because Alan and the Dark Presence make it so. A different person/entity with different flaws and desires would make it a completely different place because the Dark Place brings out EVERY aspect of you and manifests it.

In a interview with Sam Lake on video game reviewer Skill Up's podcast Friends Per Second, Sam revealed that this was constantly at risk of being cut. He originally tried to get something like this in Control but wasn't able to get it done. The scope of this was tremendous and unseen in gaming production, Sam pushed back multiple times to keep it alive and I seriously can't believe how good it came out. This could've easily came off terribly but the team pushed so hard with passion and it comes out in the segment. Thank you Sam for not faltering in your creative endeavors, Thank you Remedy for constantly pushing the envelope, Thank you Poets of the Fall for constantly breaking boundaries and crafting amazing music.

@@niks660097the genre of game is survival horror. Limited resources (leading to avoidance of combat, like in an older RE title), safe rooms, squishy characters that can’t take too much damage, healing that is not instantaneous (common in the genre but not all of ‘em), infrequent checkpoints, limited inventory space (and a storage box) leading to a push & pull of deciding what to bring with you and what to leave behind… It’s actually closer to true survival horror than many recent entries, so I’m gonna have to disagree. It’d seem you are conflating the plot with the gameplay; Silent Hill is psychological in nature as well, yet still falls under the genre. Lots of them have that element in it, coincidentally. Or perhaps by design, as instilling tension in the gameplay echoes a psychological sort of story rather well! I hope I don’t come off as rude or “Acktshually”-like! I probably just wanted to gush about the game & actually take note of what survival horror mechanics it embodies. There’s a bit more than I’d realized at first, actually lol

Between all the richly written documents, letters, notes, etc as well as the amazing short films, radio shows, treasure hunts, brain bending codes to crack, and rich, rewarding exploration...It refuses to stop making me love it more and more. Rarely have I felt like a game so completely aligns with my tastes in this way. My few complaints are so inconsequential given what the game chooses to prioritize. The saddest thing is knowing there is an ending. I say all of this yet deep down I still haven't rewired my brain to exist in a world where Alan Wake 2 is real. I still cannot fathom it.

This song is just "Let's psychologically scar this guy" and then "Olli! Shred that thing!" and then Olli shreds that thing, break for a funky jazz number and more shredding. It's awesome.

The jazz section is my second favorite part bc it's so odd and random that I was like "alright, where you going with this?" Which leads to my favorite part, that epic ending. It's so damn good. I love the snazzy jazz. It's catchy. The whole thing is. Glad I'm not the only one who is like "yrs, jazz section in a rock song!"

it's also foreshadowing "show me the champion of light, i'll show you the herald of darkness"

Especially in the full version where the solo goes on for a full 3 minutes lol. Absolute beauty of a song. Plus the jazz section has another verse or two

You can tell Sam Lake is having a good time. Well, he wrote this for the game. I think Mr. Lake might be my new favorite game creator.

We don't know what they're performing though, I don't think. I feel like it'll probably be Dark Ocean Summoning since this song is pretty long and requires more than just Poets to perform. Either way, I'm happy. I'm just watching the show for the Old Gods performance. 🤣

I can’t explain how unique this was. Iv been gaming for 20+ years but Iv never seen something like this in a game. So much love and effort put into this game. I hope it gets GOTY. I can’t help but smile when I hear this song.

@MrArchilus 6 ай бұрын

It'd be a well deserved GOTY. Because this game is art. It pushes boundaries of what a game can be. It's very original and experimental. There is no other game like that in the contest.

Unfortunately the ending is disappointing. They dropped the ball at the last hour of the game and ruined the dialogues too. It won't win the game of the year.@@MrArchilus

@@cpfantastic5576 yeah I can agree that the ending was not crazy satisfying, but you gotta remember, Alan wake is a big name for remedy. Also, they are releasing NG+ which will apparently add video/dialogue. So who knows how big/different that will be.

It's either this, or Baldur's Gate 3. Baldur's Gate 3 has alot going for it, more so than Alan Wake 2 in my opinion. Both great experiences

@@SirBigWaterAlan Wake 2 is one of the most artfully crafted horror games ever made. Baldur’s Gate 3 pushed the potential of virtual tabletop RPGs to their absolute limits and succeeded. Both are very good contenders for GOTY and I’m excited to see which one comes out on top.
