Every Wake-ing Moment in the Dark

I first laid hands on the original Alan Wake on my fourteenth birthday. After watching a few trailers that piqued my interest, I requested it on a whim. I didn’t like horror at the time, but something about the game spoke to me. I reckoned I could handle it. Apart…
