A host of characters will appear in Alan Wake, Remedy’s long-awaited psychological horror game for the Xbox 360.
When the wife of the best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t even remember writing. A dark presence stalks the small town of Bright Falls, pushing Wake to the brink of sanity in his fight to unravel the mystery and save his love. With the body of an action game and the mind of a psychological thriller, Alan Wake is a pulse-pounding thrill ride.
1. Alan Wake
A best-selling thriller writer, Wake has been suffering from writer’s block for over two years. Unable to write, unable to sleep, Wake is a volatile man whose marriage is in jeopardy. At the urging of his wife, Alice, they have left New York City and come to the Northwest woods for a desperately needed vacation.
2. Alice Wake
An accomplished photographer and natural beauty, Alice is Wake’s wife and confidant. Deeply troubled by Wake’s self-destructive tendencies, she was initiated their trip to Bright Falls. Devoted to her husband, Alice has demons of her own: a profound terror of the dark.
3. Rusty
The local sheriff that you will encounter in the Bright Falls: Prequel to Alan Wake live-action TV show.
4. Dr. Emil Hartman
A brilliant psychiatrist, and author of The Creator’s Dilemma, Hartman specializes in the long-term treatment of troubled artists at his Cauldron Lake Lodge. Considered distant and arrogant by the townspeople, Hartman’s methods are unorthodox, and his results uncertain. Some patients are restored to their former artistic lives after a few months, while others remain under his care for years without improvement.
5. Barry Wheeler
Wake’s childhood friend and literary agent, Barry is a high-strung, high-powered New Yorker, bulldozing his way through life. Allergic to dust, grass, pollen, and small towns, Barry is completely out of place in bucolic Bright Falls, but he travels there without hesitation when he senses that Wake needs him.
6. Rose Marigold
When she’s not topping off cups of coffee at the local diner in Bright Falls, Rose spends her free time reading Alan Wake’s novels and following his exploits in the news. Rose cemented her rep as a super fan when she placed a life-sized cardboard cutout of Wake in the diner.
