Alan Wake 2 features a duo narrative with two protagonists, Alan Wake and Saga Anderson, as players get to experience the game from two different perspectives.
Alan Wake 2 is developed in such a way that you don’t necessarily need to play the first game in order to enjoy it. Saga Anderson, an FBI agent investigating ritual murders, acts as a doorway for players experiencing the world of Bright Falls for the first time.
As Saga Anderson traverses the real world, Alan Wake remains trapped in the Dark Place. What follows is a Twin Peaks-styled mystery set in the real world as Alan tries to find his way in the Dark Place, which showcases Remedy’s distinct take on survival horror.
Switching between these two characters might not be immediately clear, so here’s how you can do it.
