Alan Wake II

Third-person survival horror where you alternate between FBI agent Saga Anderson investigating ritual murders in a Pacific Northwest town and novelist Alan Wake trapped in a nightmare dimension. Anderson builds a case board connecting clues in the real world while Wake rewrites reality through manuscript pages in the Dark Place. Combat uses light to weaken shadow creatures before firearms finish them. The story structure splits chapters between both characters, their separate investigations eventually linking. Expect resource management, flashlight battery anxiety, and environmental puzzles that shift between dimensions. The game leans hard into psychological dread over jump scares. If you want action-horror with Twin Peaks energy and don't mind deliberate pacing, this delivers.
