Living the Dream | Let's Play Alan Wake
In which Verso bumbles his way through the opening chapter of the Stephen King-esque PC horror/thriller game from 2012, Alan Wake.
This is a completely blind gameplay session--as in, I had never played the game before. Along the way, we learn about the game's core mechanic of giving substance to supernatural creatures through light sources in order to attack them, and we learn a little bit about Alan's nightmare world in which his fictional creations have come alive. They are, shall we say, a bit miffed about the extent to which Alan, the horror author, has complicated their lives.
