Pretty soon, however, Alan's wife disappears and he will be facing weird happenings forcing him to pick up a weapon and a flashlight.
While Alan tries to uncover the mystery he just got pulled into, the story is told in six episodes, each ending with a title screen and starting with a recap of the recent happenings - just like a TV episode.
The key element in the game is light.
During the game's daylight passages Alan explores and discovers Bright Falls with its town life and woods, including an in-game radio station and different TV channels.
The game's dramatic and action-oriented elements start at nightfall.
People and animals in the game turn into the most harmful beings at night.
They are engulfed by a darkness that transforms them.
Called Taken, they are extremely vulnerable when exposed to light and that is how to fight them.
Alan's main tools for survival are a gun and a flashlight.
Throughout the game, both tools vary and Alan will find better weapons and stronger flashlights.
Flashlights require batteries and these can be drained, especially when he focuses the light into a stronger beam to remove the dark influence surrounding people and creatures quicker.
Enemies can only be shot after the veil of darkness surrounding them has been removed with light.
In-game Alan is controlled from a third-person perspective and although he carries a gun the game does not use cross-hairs.
The main focus in combat is the use of light and therefore Alan points at enemies with his flashlight while the game provides aim assistance at the very target.
He can pick up additional ammo and batteries and there are also a few puzzle elements where he needs to interact with the environmen
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Alan Wake for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Alan Wake to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2010.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Alan Wake, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PC titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
