00:08I'm here today to proudly introduce you to a good friend of mine, a colleague, a best-selling
00:16writer, someone I have worked together with on a project for a long time. His name is Alan Wake.
00:24He has a problem. He hasn't managed to write anything in over two years. Now his wife, Alice,
00:32takes him on a vacation to the idyllic small town of Pride Falls to recover his creative
00:38love. We're here. Can you believe this place? This would make a wonderful setting for a book.
00:49We're supposed to be on vacation, Alice.
00:54When she vanishes without a trace, Wake finds himself trapped in a nightmare. His latest
01:00work, a thriller he can't even remember writing, is coming true before his eyes.
01:13The story has a strong pop culture feel and follows the style and pacing of a modern day
01:20TV series. In the following episode Wake is with his neurotic literary agent Barry Wheeler.
01:27Wake believes that Alice has been kidnapped and his missing manuscript is to ransom the kidnappers
01:33once.
01:34Damn it Barry, they'll kill her!
01:37Okay, okay then. It's Alice we're talking about. And they want the manuscript? The one you can't
01:43even remember writing? The one they think is...
01:45Look, I don't know! I don't know! Rusty knows something. He wants to talk, so I'm going.
01:51Ahchoo! Ah, this place is trying to kill me! I bet there's mold in here...
01:59a story. An example of our supporting cast of characters around Wake himself. Here we
02:06are in Elderwood National Park. The weather and day and night cycle are all part of our simulation.
02:13We control the time of day to get as much drama out of a situation as possible. The pages
02:22of Wake's lost thriller novel are at the heart of the mystery. They talk about a dark presence
02:29that has been unleashed. The visitor center was heavy with an awful smell. Rusty kept coughing
02:34blood. Wake is trying to find the lost pages to make sense of what's happened. Rusty squeezed
02:41the revolver in his trembling hand, his eyes wild. He screamed, they're here. Then he pulled the trigger.
02:48The scenes found in the pages have a disturbing habit of coming true. Alice is gone. Is she
02:57dead? Worse, is he the plague? Mr. Wake? Rusty? Is this really happening or has he gone mad?
03:04Has he come to a place where fiction turns to reality? And if so, can he bring her back
03:11with his writing? You must... They're here!
03:21He's not stopping! Among Wake's enemies are the locals taken over by the dark presence.
03:35Wake's shadowy enemies seem invincible under the cover of darkness.
03:42In the game, a light source such as a flashlight is always more important to the player than a firearm.
03:52Light reveals things as they truly are. It's a safe haven in the night and a combat tool for the
03:59player.
04:07We also have the full light relay weapons such as the flare gun. Alan Wake fights the forces of darkness
04:17with light.
04:22Light is a key gameplay element, but so is darkness. As Wake's world slides further into a nightmare, darkness becomes
04:31the thing to avoid. Darkness equals terror and danger.
04:38Alan Wake is a psychological action thriller. It's a story-driven experience. We want to guarantee the player the best
04:47possible rollercoaster ride through the game, and the thriller story is our way of doing it.
04:52To us, a thriller means strong atmosphere, mood, and a smart story to give a reason for all the scares.
05:05Let's hear from Joker's enemies.
05:10Let's hear from Joker's enemies.
05:11Go for it.
05:27See Joker's enemies.
