Alan Wake: The Signal
The first downloadable DLC, and the next chapter in the eerie world of Alan
Wake, continues the story of the survival horror thriller where the original
(entitled _Season One_ ) left off. Alan is stuck within the dark world of
Bright Falls, falling under the control of the darkness. His only way out is
to follow the signal.
The gameplay of _The Signal_ follows the original closely, although there are
some new elements at play. The flashlight, used as a defensive weapon in
_Season One_ , can now be reflected against mirrors and other items to
increase its power and distance, taking down the horde of enemies in more
unique methods than a straight point and flash method. The flashlight can also
be used to light explosions if reflected against certain items in time. Alan’s
own words have also appeared within the world, turning into items of worth and
helpful tools to get the player out of a close encounter. All other elements
of gameplay, the low amount of ammunition for weapons, interaction with TV
sets, and the surreal story of Alan’s own mind slowly slipping into a deeper
sense of insanity also return.
