Bringing a new style of storytelling to Xbox 360, Alan Wake is a psychological action thriller from Remedy Entertainment, the renowned original developers of the successful Max Payne series. In this dynamic new title exclusively for Xbox 360, players assume the role of Alan Wake, a best-selling suspense author suffering from writer’s block, who escapes to a small town only to experience the mysterious disappearance of his wife. Set in the deceptively idyllic town of Bright Falls, Washington, Alan Wake immerses players in an intense and expansive cinematic world that enables players to explore the hyper-realistic and interactive environments.

“Scoring Alan Wake was all about finding the motives of the characters and what forces them onwards,” says composer Petri Alanko. “Composing a romantic score for a psychothriller might not seem obvious, but to me it was the right approach for the game – and I thank Remedy for believing in the decisions I made.”

Here’s what the press has to say about Alan Wake:

“A standout score” – Computer & Video Games

“Superb soundtrack” – GamePro

“The soundtrack is inspired” – GamesTM
