About these games

Alan Wake's American Nightmare

Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is a standalone experience in which Alan Wake takes on the herald of darkness, the wicked Mr. Scratch – his own murderous double. In the full Story Mode he fights to win back his life and to change reality itself. The action-packed Arcade Mode, Fight till dawn, challenges players to master the Fight with Light mechanic, survive until sunrise and beat their friends on the leaderboards. Twisted, dangerous enemies lurk in the shadows and are dispatched with a powerful arsenal of weapons.

Quantum Break

Quantum Break from Remedy Entertainment blends a hard-hitting action game with a live action show, and the choices made in one part dramatically shape the other. After a split second of destruction fractures time itself, two people find they have changed and now possess extraordinary abilities. One travels through time and becomes bent on seizing that power, while the other uses the new gifts to defeat him and mend time before it falls apart beyond repair. Shawn Ashmore plays the hero Jack Joyce, Aidan Gillen his nemesis Paul Serene and Dominic Monaghan Jack's genius brother William, as players navigate epic destruction scenes that skip and rewind in broken time.

Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut

You play as special agent Francis York Morgan, whom everyone calls York, investigating the brutal murder of a young local beauty in the town of Greenvale. He must solve the Red Seed Murders in a small, quirky American mountain town, where supernatural creatures and a mysterious killer in a raincoat, wielding an axe, try to end his investigation. The game blends suspenseful horror with action-adventure gameplay in an open world filled with locals to meet, places to discover, side quests and mini-games. This Director’s Cut adds a new scenario from director Hidetaka ‘Swery’ Suehiro, enhanced HD graphics, a reworked control system and additional content.

SILENT HILL 2

James returns to Silent Hill, the town where he and his late wife shared so many memories, after a letter from her reaches him. He finds a ghost town cloaked in thick fog and prowled by disturbing monsters, and he must confront them, solve puzzles and search for traces of his wife. By the lake he meets a woman named Maria who resembles her strikingly. This remake of SILENT HILL 2 introduces an over-the-shoulder camera, an expanded map with once-inaccessible and newly added locations, and a reworked combat system with timed dodges and aiming down sights.

Through the Woods

Through the Woods is a third-person horror adventure set in a forest on Norway’s western coast, telling the story of a mother and her missing son. The player follows a terrified woman who enters this dreadful place only to find her son, and experiences the events as the mother re-tells them through reactive narration. The setting draws heavily on Norse mythology and Norwegian folk tales, while a creative use of light and darkness produces deceptive environments and the sound design becomes a core mechanic in the dark.

Radiolight

Radiolight is an ‘80s thriller set in the town of Ashwood Creek in September 1985. Players take the role of Ethan, a local police officer investigating the disappearance of a teenager and searching for the truth inside the national park. His radio and walkie-talkie are his means of survival: he tunes strange, otherworldly signals, some leading to safety, others deeper into the shadows. Robert, his childhood friend and the town’s police chief, guides him through forests, foggy valleys and forgotten trails. The game was made by solo developer Krystof Knesl.
