Alan Wake 2, as mentioned by the article I linked. Sales have dried up before it became profitable, but Sweeney has confirmed that it wouldn’t be released on Steam.
You should give it a shot. The gameplay is fun and, while I’m not sure, I think Alan Wake is supposed to be a trash writer. Less Stephen King, more Dan Brown so that takes a lot of the edge out of it.
It’s always had its fans. The story is a pulp adventure with notes of Stephen King (without the cocaine), the action gameplay ranges from underwhelming to pretty bad, and the narration’s delivery by Matthew Porretta is flatter than a bowling alley, but it all comes together as something incredibly charming. I credit Twitch user shaft_of_justice with the most accurate description: “the best 6/10 game there is”.
“Media I had no interest in, but now I play DBD and need context for the crossover content”
Alongside Stranger Things and… well Saw was on the list but then I marathoned the films. Tokyo Ghoul’s also on that list because that’s allegedly dropping in March
Just a tip for Tokyo Ghoul the anime is alright but very very bad compared to the manga. The anime made some very stupid changes for the story and failed to capture much of the tone of the manga.

Oh, I don’t really remember anyone giving a shit about Alan Wake 1.
As a writer, I give any story ABOUT a writer a hard fucking pass.
