The unanswered mystery is what stays with us the longest, and it's what we'll remember in the end. Besides that, people noted it for its dark and especially oppressive atmosphere, and unique form of story telling not seen too much in other games today.In a horror story, the victim keeps asking 'Why?', but there can be no explanation, and there shouldn't be one. Like a TV show, the game is presented in 'Episodes' and they even recap previous events the player has experienced just like a TV viewer gets a recap of what happened on a show from episodes of past weeks. The game itself is unique in having a narrative driven story and draws inspiration from TV shows, movies, and books such as Twin Peaks, Lost, The Shining, and the works of writers such as Stephen King. Eventually the game was released on May 14th in Europe, 18th in North America and 20th in Australia to average first week sales (In some cases released the same day as Red Dead Redemption)

Alan Wake was the highly anticipated and self described 'Psychological Action Thriller' from the developers at Remedy, the creators of the first two Max Payne games, and published by Microsoft Game Studios.
