How will these two stories intersect, and will their encounter lead them to becoming heroes, or something far worse?

▍Alan Wake 2 Gameplay
Alan Wake 2 is a third-person survival-horror shooter where you take on the role of Alan Wake and Saga Anderson.
After the events of the first game, Alan is still trapped in his own living nightmare, writing a scenario to a story that will seemingly never end, trapping him in his own prison. In an attempt to escape, he writes another story while somehow connecting himself to the real world.
At the same time, FBI agent Saga Anderson comes to the town of bright falls, to search for her colleague Robert Nightingale, who went missing after the events of the first game.
Players will explore both realities as their stories converge on each other, with Alan exploring a new nightmarish world that looks similar to his home back in New York, and Anderson exploring the town of Bright Falls, which has succumbed to a string of ritualistic murders. As you explore both worlds, you’ll be taking on supernatural entities while using light as your weapon. Shine your flashlight against the darkness to weaken foes, or create powerful light sources to send them back to the darkness, lest you get overwhelmed.
