Alan Wake 2 Should Take Inspiration From This Underrated Horror Game’s Scariest Enemy

Alan Wake 2 is among the most highly-anticipated titles of October 2023, and the last few months have seen its developer, Remedy Entertainment, reveal some extensive looks at its characters and settings. The sequel to 2013’s Alan Wake, the title sees players explore both the real world and the Dark Place, with a narrative split between two protagonists. While the real world will be experienced through the eyes of newcomer Saga Anderson, The Dark Place will see players attempt to free Alan from a nightmarish version of New York City. The Dark Place dimension is sure to introduce some disturbing new horrors to the franchise and would do well to take inspiration from another underrated horror title’s most terrifying – and psychological – enemy.
