Alan Wake is an exciting game for people who like mysteries and gory horror, and here are a few more games they might like.
Alan Wake is a great supernatural horror journey that is a lot of fun. Alan Wake is a horror writer who is currently having trouble coming up with new ideas. The game is known for its creepy atmosphere, interesting story, and pace that changes from episode to episode. It even had a horror-themed follow-up called Alan Wake’s American Nightmare.
Alan Wake was a one-of-a-kind experience, but if you want more scary gaming moments, there are a lot of great options out there, from other stories about failing artists stuck in horror landscapes to point-and-click adventures in creepy manors. This list has some great games for you to play while you wait for Alan Wake 2.
Control
Control was made by Remedy Entertainment, the same company that made Alan Wake. Even though the games and stories are very different in many ways, Alan Wake fans will still find a lot to love in Control. It has a lot of secrets, plots, and scary enemies. You take on the role of Jesse Faden and try to find out what’s going on in a strange government agency. When she gets there, creatures from other worlds have taken over the whole place. Jesse will be glad to know that the building is full of powers and tools that will help her on her quest.
The creepy, changed things you find in the building are interesting, and you might even find a place that has something to do with Alan Wake. So, if you want to see Bright Falls in a different way, the AWE DLC, which is automatically finished in Control: Ultimate Edition, will be a lot of fun.
The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a first-person puzzle and exploration game that takes place in a beautiful valley. But not everything is as it seems, and soon you are looking into a series of brutal killings. Your power to talk to the dead, on the other hand, will help you find clues about these things and about what happened to a boy named Ethan. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a gripping story with a mix of mystery and otherworldly creepiness that will keep you interested throughout your investigation.
In this game, there is no fighting like there was in Alan Wake. Instead, you focus on the game’s tense mood. But, like Alan Wake, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter will give you a great story, and it will also make you feel things.
Layers Of Fear Series
Layers of Fear is a great choice if you want to read more about suffering artists whose lives start to change. The first game is the one you should spend the most time on. You play a painter who wants to make their masterpiece, just like Alan wants to finish that story he doesn’t remember writing. The more you look around your home, which is always changing, the more unsettling your life becomes. Just like Alan Wake, the Layers of Fear games tell scary stories that make you want to know more.
You can get each Layers of Fear game on its own, or you can try a remake that puts all of them together in one package. It has a story called “Layers of Fear 2,” about an actor who gets caught up in a play that blurs the line between truth and fiction. Each part of the game is also separated by a new story, so there is a lot to do and see.
Silent Hill Series
Why not go back to a great horror game when looking for games like Alan Wake? The Silent Hill series was a big influence on Alan Wake, especially the idea of trying to go on holiday only to find that reality is falling apart around you. The Silent Hill games are great scary games that you should try if you haven’t already.
There are a lot of scary but memorable places to go in the games, which keep you on edge the whole time. Harry Mason is at the center of the first Silent Hill. He is looking for his daughter while also dealing with the death of his wife. In Silent Hill 2, James Sunderland is the main character. He goes to Silent Hill after getting a letter from his dead wife. Even though Silent Hill’s world can be scary, you’ll want to go back to it again and again.
What Remains Of Edith Finch
Alan Wake games are great at slowly revealing story details so that the puzzle can be solved bit by bit. This is done with the help of the strange handwritten pages Alan could find. The story of the game moves along at just the right speed because of this use of gradual explanation.
What Remains of Edith Finch is a great game with a story that is just as well thought out as Alan Wake’s. It is an adventure game played from the first-person point of view that tells the sad story of a cursed family. After reading the diary entries, you can look around the Finch house and find out how each member of the family died. The game has a great mood that keeps you interested from the beginning to the end.
The Last Door
Indie horror game The Last Door is about Jeremiah Devitt, who is looking into a mysterious force that is threatening all of his old friends. The Last Door is just as scary as Alan Wake and focuses on psychological horror, just like Alan Wake. Both games are influenced by classic horror novels. Alan Wake is based on the works of Steven King, and The Last Door is based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe and H. P. Lovecraft.
The Last Door is a point-and-click adventure, which is different from Alan Wake. The Last Door is a more simple game with a pixel art style. Even though this is a big difference, both games do a great job of giving you a sense of wonder and unease that will make you want to play more and find out what’s going on.
Vampyr
Alan Wake has just the right amount of action and story. If you want to figure out why Alan’s wife, Alice, was taken, you have to escape the shadowy forces that are out to get you. Vampyr is a great example of this beautiful mix of action and story. The game is about Jonathan Reid, a doctor who has just been turned into a vampire and is going back to London in the early 1900s. Jonathan has to fight undead forces while he tries to figure out how to use his new strong skills and his new way of living (or is it not living?).
Vampyr is more about playing a part and making choices that affect the story. You can choose whether Jonathan will give in to his bloodlust and gain power or fight it and focus on his job as a doctor. Alan Wake is also known for his interesting moral dilemmas that play with the ideas of light and evil.
Deadly Premonition
Both Deadly Premonition and Alan Wake remind me of Twin Peaks. In both games, a stranger goes to a small, mysterious town and has to deal with a strange supernatural threat. This strange and disturbing mood is present in both games, making you feel like you’re really there.
In Deadly Premonition, the main character is an FBI agent named Francis Morgan. He has been asked to find out what really happened after a murder in a small town. It’s more about survival horror than Alan Wake, since Francis has to watch out for his tools and even his need to sleep.It’s a strange game that you should check out.
Gone Home
The game Gone Home is played from the first-person view. Katie Greenbriar and her family are at the center of the story. Katie goes to her family’s new home, but when she gets there, no one is there. Katie looks around the house for hints to find out what has happened. As with Alan Wake, the game’s strength comes from the fact that you don’t know what happened to the main character’s family, and you want to find out what happened.
Gone Home is more like a walking simulator, which lets you focus on the game’s amazing story. Like in Alan Wake, you have to look for items and notes to learn more about the main character’s family and story. If you liked the deadly forces of darkness in Alan Wake, the lack of them here might be upsetting, but it lets you get into the story without worrying about getting a Game Over screen. Gone Home is worth trying because it puts a lot of effort into setting the mood and atmosphere.
Alien: Isolation
Alien: Isolation is the game to play if you want more of the feeling of being alone that Alan Wake gave you. This game intensifies that feeling of being alone and helpless to the fullest.
Alien: Isolation is scary and hard because you have to stay away from the scary Xenomorph and try to sneak away to safety. Snake Game feels more like science fiction than the supernatural, but the feeling of being unable to stop a strange threat is still there. Even worse, Alan’s trusty flashlight won’t help much against an alien that can’t be stopped.
The Evil Within Series
The Evil Within 1 and 2 are survival horror games that follow Sebastian Castellanos through his travels. In the first game, he is thrown into a horrible alternate world and has to fight to get out. The second game picks up where the first one left off. There are also a lot of fun side tasks to do.
The Evil Within is a very exciting game because you have to decide whether Sebastian should fight or run away from the scary things that are after him. The game has a unique atmosphere and explores ideas about how people see the world that are similar to Alan Wake.
Until Dawn
Until Dawn is a great horror story about a group of friends trying to stay alive in Blackwood Mountain’s harsh cold and dangerous mysterious threats. Like Alan Wake, it is a game with separate parts that feel more like movies. Both games use horror tropes to make a spooky, but fun, atmosphere throughout the journey.
In the game, you’re in charge of a large number of people, all of whom can die if you’re not careful. Even though Until Dawn doesn’t focus on just one character, you can still care a lot about each lead. As the game goes on, you’ll find out more about their pasts, shape who they are, and want to keep them safe. Just like with Alan Wake, there are some great times when the characters grow and change.
Bioshock Series
Bioshock is the best example of a scary atmosphere. The first Bioshock takes place in an underground city where scientists try to find new ways to do things. As you explored the broken-down ruins of this mysterious society, it made for a perfectly creepy setting. Like Alan Wake, Bioshock explores a lot of different themes and ideas. This gives the game a lot of depth, which you can enjoy along with the exciting gameplay.
Both Bioshock and the games that came after it are fun to play. Bioshock: Infinite, the third game in the series, changes the scene and mood a lot. It moves away from the lonely depths of Rapture. But the story is so complicated that this change in tone is more than made up for.
Resident Evil Series
The Resident Evil games are a series with a lot of variety. They started out with survival horror parts, but later games focused more on action. In recent years, many of the older games have been updated, making them great places to start if you are new to the series. Each game is about a different main character who solves puzzles and fights off scary monsters.
Resident Evil 1 and 2 are two of the best games in the series. They have the same tone and feel as Alan Wake. They both feel like they can’t do anything to stop the evil forces they are fighting. You’ll be in over your head and have to do whatever you can to stay alive while slowly figuring out what happened. If you like Alan Wake, you have to play these games. They have a good mix of action, scares, and story.
