Alan Wake 2
![](https://gamecontenttriggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Alan-Wake-2-cover.png)
Alan Wake 2 is split between two protagonists - FBI agent Saga Anderson and writer Alan Wake. After arriving to investigate a cult murder, Saga and her partner Alex Casey are pulled into the story of Bright Falls. Saga uses a mind place to keep track of and connect clues, while Alan alters reality using clues he finds. Narrative themes include questioning and altering reality, gaslighting by people in Bright Falls, and the trope of good vs evil being light vs darkness. Players will have to physically fight dark figures as canines or humanoids, resulting in blood and gore. They will also have to deal with cult members wearing deer masks. This page has been updated to include information about the Night Springs DLC.
