Kata demi kata berusaha ia rangkai, apa yang terakhir ia kerjakan, ia bahkan tidak dapat mengingat bahwa ia seorang penulis, apa yang sebenarnya terjadi ? apakah ia hanya terjebak dalam sebuah mimpi atau ini merupakan kejadian nyata yang dialaminya ? sampai saat ini semua itu merupakan misteri yang harus kita ungkap dalam petualangan bersama Alan Wake.



Pesan dari si Alan Wake
Selama proses pembuatan game ini Alan Wake meninggalkan berbagai pesan di forum website nya, ... hingga saat ini sudah ada tiga pesan yang disampaikannya melalui tulisan.

"The amount of pages keeps growing each night. There are also new edits on the old pages. They keep getting more aggressive. The story is rewriting itself. The protagonist is now my namesake, and his wife is called Alice. The most worrying aspect: the genre seems to be shifting. It's turning into a horror story. I can no longer be certain whether the hero can succeed or even survive. Apart for the jumbled fragments of bad dreams and an oppressive feeling, I can remember nothing of the process when I wake up. But this morning, a breakthrough! When I came to my senses, I could smell her perfume on my shirt. I am close. I know it. I must push on.
- Alan Wake"

"Rusty's screams were still ringing in my ears. The tree stump the grove got its name from looked like a severed leg of a monsterous bird. I prayed that the gun would make a difference. Every time I moved the flashlight, I was afraid of the horrors it might reveal. Suddenly a ragged arrow gloved in the light. I followed it.
- Alan Wake".

"I became increasingly afraid to go to sleep. I was convinced that I would wake up changed, darkness having seeped in through the *****s in the floor, crawled up to my bed, and made its way inside, through a nostril or an ear.
I barricaded the door of the cabin. I kept the lights on at all times. I taped a note on the door (I had forgotten so many things already): 'Don't go out.'
-Alan Wake".

Dari pesan-pesan tersebut bisa disimpulkan apa dan bagaimana serunya petualangan Alan untuk menemukan kembali Istri tercinta sekaligus survive dari hal-hal mengerikan yang dihadapinya.
