Pinborough, an accomplished author of horror,
mysteries, dark fantasy, and
psychological suspense, has drawn on all her gifts to tell her
latest story, a masterpiece of suspense centered on a bad marriage.
Now don't mis - understand me, co-op I guess could be done in any genre / game but outside of shooters it doesn't automatically make sense, Alan Wake is a
psychological action thriller, set in an open world game where YOU play as a writer who's trying to discover the
mystery of what seems to be your
latest horror story which you can't even remember for some reason is now coming to life, in a small isolated town; oh and your wife has vanished too = Alan Wake himself IS the story, co-op in this case would be redundant for a story driven type game like Alan Wake since at its core its all about YOU deciding where to go an «unlocking» the plot for YOURSELF.
