Saga Anderson arrives to investigate ritualistic murders in a small town. Alan Wake pens a dark story to shape the reality around him. These two heroes are somehow connected. Can they become the heroes they need to be?
A string of ritualistic murders threatens Bright Falls, a small-town community surrounded by Pacific Northwest wilderness. Saga Anderson, an accomplished FBI agent with a reputation for solving impossible cases arrives to investigate the murders. Anderson's case spirals into a nightmare when she discovers pages of a horror story that starts to come true around her.
Alan Wake, a lost writer trapped in a nightmare beyond our world, writes a dark story in an attempt to shape the reality around him and escape his prison. With a dark horror hunting him, Wake is trying to retain his sanity and beat the devil at his own game.
Anderson and Wake are two heroes on two desperate journeys in two separate realities, connected at heart in ways neither of them can understand: reflecting each other, echoing each other, and affecting the worlds around them.
Fueled by the horror story, supernatural darkness invades Bright Falls, corrupting the locals and threatening the loved ones of both Anderson and Wake. Light is their weapon—and their safe haven — against the darkness they face. Trapped in a sinister horror story where there are only victims and monsters, can they break out to be the heroes they need to be?

Alan Wake II is a single-player survival horror game. The story alternates between two protagonists. Saga Anderson, an FBI agent, arrives in the town of Bright Falls to investigate a series of ritualistic murders. Her case soon intertwines with supernatural events linked to Alan Wake, a novelist who has been trapped in a nightmarish alternate dimension known as the Dark Place for over a decade. As their narratives converge, the player uncovers a story where fiction and reality bleed together, and both characters must confront the horrors shaping their intertwined fates.
Gameplay is built around exploration, resource management, and combat with supernatural enemies. Players control either Saga or Alan in separate chapters, each offering distinct perspectives and environments. Firearms and melee weapons can be used against enemies, but ammunition and healing items are scarce. Light remains a central mechanic, as many foes are shielded by darkness that must be burned away with a flashlight before they can be damaged. Managing limited batteries and resources adds tension to each encounter.
Progression is tied to investigation and storytelling. Saga uses a system called the Mind Place, a mental construct where she organizes clues, connects evidence, and builds case files that drive the investigation forward. Alan navigates the Dark Place by rewriting elements of reality with his writing, changing environments or unlocking new pathways. Both systems combine puzzle-solving with narrative progression, reinforcing the theme of perception shaping the world. Safe rooms and checkpoints provide moments of respite, but survival relies on carefully conserving supplies and choosing when to fight or flee.
