welcome back guys and welcome to the official beginning of Allan Wake 2 a massive thank you to epic games for sponsoring this video if at any point in time throughout the video you guys are interested in purchasing alen wake 2 you guys can click the link down in my description to purchase the game I I just have to say this is perhaps one of the best looking video games that I've ever played period and you guys will see that for yourselves throughout the entirety of this video Allan Wake 2 is a game that is truly built for NextGen and has an immersive nonlinear single player story with now two playable protagonist one who is obviously Alan Wake and the other is a brand new FBI agent Saga Anderson as most of you know if you're familiar with Alan Wake it is the duality of light versus dark in this brand new psychological horror game sit back relax and let's do this back to the beginning we all come to a story with hopes and expectations looking for an answer sometimes it would be better to live with that hope without ever knowing the full story all right we are we are officially back it's been some time feels good to be back in a horror story there are only victims and mind moners and the trick is not to end up as either but trapped by the genre we are all ripped to pieces along the way this is not the story I hoped it would be this is not the ending I wanted this story will eat Us Alive okay this story is a monster and monsters wear many faces these games are creepy all right so I expect a lot of elevated psychological horror throughout this walk through I remember very vividly the first one giving me quite a few jump scares so oh God what in the world is that starting off a little intense here don't you think oh whoa what the this looks really really good I've actually gone ahead and bumped everything up to the absolute Max in my graphic settings hopefully the computer survives but but so far it seems to be running really smooth this looks really really good again there are two semiopen World hubs once's going to be taking place in the Pacific Northwest and the other one's going to be in New York we're going to see how that's going to open up within the store here as we go along and uh let's go I'm not going to turn around going to keep the camera where it's at for safety purposes dude I like how you can see the little details of like hair on his back is that Alan Wake no come on we should go I thought that was going to be Alan Wake up there pretty sure everything will be explained here wonder if there's like a bro this is seriously impressive I'm not even joking like this is all right can we put some clothes on please Fu I'm telling you man jump scares in this game are no joke n no no no no n what the hell have I gotten myself into I've read a few articles actually that they said this game was going to blow people away and honestly that actually got me even more excited uh but here we are yeah there we go thank you now we can Sprint yeah that's all in Wake there hopefully this guy's buns don't get me into any sort of trouble I mean they're just buns but you know I love the color palette can we go over there I don't think so just going to keep following the road here help help what the hell am I supposed to ohu yeah I think we're supposed to die here maybe I'm so scared wa C [Applause] okay we start it now are the con of the tree we watch the light okay this is insane to finish this I'm what the [ __ ] [Music] go wow okay I'mma blur that y'all going to have to watch that for yourselves that's that's pretty gnarly okay this is Hardcore dude this is for sure they meant it elevated psychological horror for sure oh dude I'm ready I love when we get to play a psychological horror game with a good narrative and I know for a fact this game will have a really good narrative [Music] hey kiddo how are you I'm good Mom how are you this trip might take a little longer than I thought I'm sorry I've been gone so much lately Logan Oh my God Mom it's not your fault people get all murdery what happened just work stuff right well Dad and I just watching the episode of night Springs here Mom it's so good no spoilers I'll let you get back to the show you were supposed to wait and watch with me I love you both this is what happens when you go on work trips Mom love you too and say hi to Casey tell him to stop brooding so much Logan I will bye kiddo Logan thinks you should try cheering up H snarky kid wonder where she gets that from hold on let me join him it can't be a coincidence that another body turns up just as we arrive in town feels like the Killer's leaving us a message H I'm glad you're on this case with me Anderson it's right up your alley you should take lead think of me as the backup okay any words of advice nothing that would cheer anyone up so I like how they made us play with the victim in the beginning to get a sense of what's going on and then then boom they throw you into this here we are cauldron Lake time to get to work a deputy was supposed to be here to show us to the crime scene there's the car so where's the deputy eaten by a bear I'll check out that map invitation return one so goes with the crime scene before we get swallowed up by the trees man this looks freaking insane I should take a look at that map the map displays key locations in the area hold on guys all right key locations in the area parking lot rental cabins here fing this dead guy for sa quit your belly aching for I'm up here now that's just how the cookie crumbles hey over here this looks so good dude there's so much like landscape casy right Sheriff breaker said you'd be coming by to take over the case you're half right Anderson Saga Anderson I'll be leading this case seems you already know my partner Alex Casey shoot sorry about that ma'am I I'm Deputy Mulligan I just figured that you know that uh damn going to show up M federal agents right here thoron my partner thoron down at the crime scene he's not what you call the sharpest ax in the shed right here what do you mean are they with you oh [ __ ] they didn't hear me did they so I could use a briefing any witnesses to the crime let's use a briefing I like this multiple choice what can you tell us about the crime scene tell them about the heart I was getting to that foron we reckon there are some uh organs that are currently outside the victim's person when they should be well you know inside were there any Witnesses Yeah couple Out of Towners I wonder what they were doing sneaking around the woods at night mention the city Folk is pretty suspicious not that we have anything against city Folk cried Thornton but don't worry Sheriff breaker took him back to town a while ago all right let's take a look at the body I want to see the body how do we get there oh sure that's real simple just through the hole in the fence down the hill towards the lake around the old convenience store you can't miss it everything's been closed since the area was fenced off the store the campground all of it hey M tell them I'm here waiting I'll show them around they got it Thon Thorton really wants to help it see seem all right Crouch with B I guess yeah so I've mentioned this before but I really the crime scene there's time to review the facts of the case so far make sure I'm seeing the clues clearly all right so you can access the caseboard inside the mine place the mine place my version of the mine Palace technique to sift through Clues and work to case building the M place again for each case using each field office as a model in my head what the the facts are on the board everything we know about the previous murders worth taking another look okay the caseboard is a mental technique that allows Saga to analyze Clues and progress in the investigation all right you can use the right stick to move around LTR RT to zoom in move the cursor you now free to navigate the caseboard or leave by pressing B okay Cadron Lake murders a series of murders have occurred around the town of bright Falls finding the connections will help our research or our search for the killer I'm sorry all right so victims all victims reported missing in 2010 no other commonalities so these are the victims we got Ted Lane which is a dentist stab wounds bloating AB bruising on the wrist uh the victim was reported missing in 2010 discovered 2012 buried in Shallow Grave found in cauldron Lake 2018 some organs missing predation state of the body does not match eight years spent in Lake on two weeks ago chess won was uh ruled as cause of death to on the body is eligible where's the guy that we were playing as is it this one yeah two of the victims had bruisings I think so from a restraint strapped her belts down most recent victim died major chest trauma consisted with 2018 victim Hearts confirmed due to the condition of the body bloating of the corpse is in act uh indicative of drowning but only one victim was found in the water victim number three was was covered in eligible eligible tattoos a message from the Killer maybe or there aren't apart from going uh Missing in 2010 the victims have nothing parents in common killer may be a sportsman or Hunter cases we got no cases right now okay if we press y we've got the goals now we'll just go ahead and exit out of here so this seems to be man I wonder if there's anything we can interact with here maybe later on in the story okay I see you're already hard at work Anderson close to cracking it we're just getting started let's head down the hill to the crime scene so you can access the map here oh okay so once you're here then you can just do this okay all right so visiting the mine Place does not pause the game so be mindful of nearby threats no wonder the game does not pause and the the NPCs keep talking what do we have here so I've said this before on my channel I appreciate when games do this like really immersive HUD where there's no HUD you putting me in charge why now look Anderson you're a better detective than I am you've cracked cases that had the rest of us baffled I don't want to slow you down are you thinking of retiring you know what happens to Cops who say this is their last case mhm real funny Anderson H what do we have here bright Falls own virtual baking champ okay little Sally uptown's whole family erupted into cheers when she won the big match this weekend does a hike a day keep depression away missing duberman found on the trail heartfelt reunion took place this weekend when Mrs Amanda Smith was reunited with her beloved Dog Coffee Bean chaos at cauldron Lake Rampage of the rental cabin's unidentified man attacks vacationers in the dead of night Sunday barbecuing and late night's fishing was violently disrupted Saturday as a mysterious as silent attack Park visitors causing chaos and destruction at the cabins the incident left three people injured one of which has been admitted to the county hospital as to whether the attacker is still at large brif Falls Police have yet to make an official statement leaving local residents in the state of uncertainty if you guys want me to read more in depth these articles and stuff just let me know typically I do but I don't want to slow down anything right now we know I got third grade reading skills so mirror Peak the mighty mountain in the distance is no other than mirror Peak the Icona L Landmark overlooking cauldron Lake from the right angle its beauty will be uh will be reflected on the calm surface of the lake mirrored and all of the inverted Glory guess the name makes perfect sense now now we've been here before there's a lot that you can just kind of deviate uh to you know maybe right now it's not needed but who knows look at this what are Falls this powerful feet of nature will revive the spirit as it does the surrounding nature the Turning grinding Waters at the bottom of the falls resemble a mortar and pestl quite like the one the witch of cauldron lake is fabled to have used to travel through the night sky is that a kids lunchbox an Alex Casey movie lunchbox Casey hates the endless jokes about coincidentally having the same name as a fake detective he hates those cheesy crime books but he really hates the movies my dad used to say when the going gets tough the tough get going not sure where the tough get going to but maybe you'll find it inspiring manuscript fragments okay so manuscript fragments can be used to upgrade weapons in the mine place oh okay again and again uh hold and fire button to activate Auto fire mode significantly increases the rate of fire more bullets increases the magazine size by 50% land two head shots in quick sucession to stun the enemy for an extended duration okay so now we know where we can upgrade our weapon so yeah confirmed it pays off to uh explore damn should have brought an umbrella I like the rain the only thing around here that feels like home you think the local law had the sense to put up a tarp H if they did next coffee's on me General Store to the left I think I saw something it'll only take a minute I'll wait here okay I think that's actually a fork on the road and they kind of meet up hey Deputy Thornton I take it that's me at your service ready to get this case solved now the body's behind the store come on I'll show you so FBI huh that's so cool hunting down psycho serial killers and shootouts with the mom you forgot the UFO coverups those are real you guys hiring he's joking let's just see this body shall we I'm probably going to have to blur some stuff here I think this is going to be really intense investigate the scene of the crime we found him on the table and we didn't touch nothing you know procedures and stuff thanks Deputy no tarp you owe me a coffee okay let's start start by examining our guest of honor does this fit Theo of the previous murders oh boy I don't know how I'm going to edit this step one examine the corpse I'm going to have to edit this okay you can play it for yourself and see what it's got cooking but body is positioned on the table you've unlocked your first key image you can place it on the caseboard inside the mine place all right so allow Saga to see activity Clues up on the d-pad the key image can be selected with a and placed on the caseboard boom all right another body turns up just as we arrive in town coincidence H placing a key image on the caseboard begins a new line of Investigation another body has been found in the woods near bright Falls perfect timing need to see if this is linked to the killings we were we were here to investigate when a key image is placed it will prompt a new question objectives reviewable at the case board and your goals investigate the crime scene you are now free to examine the case board or leave we need three pieces of evidence consistent with previous murders cases here we go go we've got the Alex case lunch boox and uh got three clues for that interesting okay this is the heart the killer left the heart right next to the body the hell man bruising on the wrist from the cargo straps holding him down inside Stab Wound chest cut open heart removed bruising indicates victim was alive when restrained matches other cases heart removed from chest strapped by the wrists definitely matches the previous murders but this time the heart and the straps were left behind more clues to work with this makes four murders that we know about the clues have res uh resolved the open question and unlocked a deduction as you advance the investigation new questions will be unlocked updating your goals who killed him need to find more clues large amount of Blood on the table the victim died here let's talk to this guy any idea who the victim is oh I sure do his name is Nightingale he was FBI he came to town about 13 years ago I haven't heard a word about him since well until now Nightingale Robert Nightingale oh yeah yes you probably knew him Brothers in Arms oh and sisters wow so you knew Al vict him well I didn't recognize him in his current state but yeah I ran into him a few times at quanico never worked any cases together after his partner got killed in the field he went off the deep end got the boot pretty quick after that whoa oh what Happ what happened after he got fired so he's been missing since 2010 so what happened to Nightingale after the bureau let him go I only know the rumors depression led to booze booze led to paranoia he got some wild ideas in his head chased ghosts until he fell off the map guess he ended up here I bet there's more to that story but no happy ending Nightingale went missing 13 years ago 2010 the same as all the other victims certainly fits the pattern makes me wonder what was going on that year probably something this town wants to forget okay let's go over here a little cooler H someone was drinking beer they spent time here here waiting someone left in a hurry knock the tripod over was it for a camera is there anything else back here that I can all right let's let's go over here caseboard let's see what we got so the victim got to talk to someone where let me actually talk to this guy um was he killed here or brought here after for display no more questions okay is there anything else all right hold on so Casey Nightingale went off the deep end that's going to be for the victim okay h so they really made a mess here caught up in the act or just sloppy work this has to go up here right this would be the victim cuz that's that's him mhm Robert Nightingale X FBI came to Bright Falls 13 years ago we need one more clue right over here Footprints multiple people were here multiple Killers I think that's everything for now at least mhm anything clicking yet not sure need to think about it all right let's go back over here it's got to be this one bootprints indicating multiple Killers quite the party all right so here excuse me here premeditated or SP aneous premeditated for sure where maybe not I don't know looks new uh brought by The Killers why to mount a camera weird snuff film maybe all right so now I got to grab this one doesn't look right it's got to be here there we go they planned for the murder to happen here passing the time with equipment ready they were waiting for him but why Nightingale he's been missing for 13 years why here why now profiling get into the subject's head see what they saw feel what they felt use whatever I know about them to guide my intuition to a revelation PE it [Music] together you can use profiling inside saga's mine place to get uh inside the heads of suspects and victims yikes okay yo that's creepy bro agent Nightingale has been MIA for 13 years how did he end up here up from the lake that's not a lake it's dark he was there too you are not allowed in the lake until he says otherwise Robert Nightingale came from the lake before his murder yes I was there ritual murder Nightingale was chosen as the victim why fli the switch it goes click lights are off at somebody's home somebody's home this wasn't some random act of violence this was a ritual a nightingale a component they didn't see him as a person more like a container for something a container for something feel the night Andale came from the the lake but why now after 13 years the lake is connected to Nightingale somehow Casey Let's Take a Look Down by the lake lead the way sounds good uh this way right right okay well I'll just uh I'll just wait here all right let's go to the lake and see what's going on what happened this one of your hunches Anderson did something happen at the lake I think Nightingale came up from that direction from the lake probably looking for shelter safety they were waiting for him when you're ready I'd love to hear what you put together so far sure it's not that complicated Nightingale was out in the woods alone at night possibly nude The Killers knew he was here ambushed him dragged him to the campgrounds strapped him to the table cut his heart out but then they were interrupted by those Witnesses the Bookers the job is unfinished that seems pretty complicated to me what was this guy doing skinny dipping at this time of year haven't figured that part out yet mhm lots of questions lots of answers for us to find God I want to go up there let's just keep going let's keep going Witch is Ladle cauldron Lane I didn't know trees got that big gives me the creeps you need to get out more it is kind of creepy though [Music] yeah what the heck there's a piece of paper on the ground and is that blood cracks Barefoot Niles they come out from under the boulder it makes no sense a page full of texts on one side not a print out written with a typewriter old school lines scratched out and edits added with a pen mhm like a manuscript page of story killer left a message it's for us n the text is about us the victim was one of their own FBI special agent Robert Nightingale and then there was the page they found the first steep down into terrifying depths reading the words read words these words felt like a message felt like a message someone knew they were here someone playing a game with them an invitation how could they not accept even if they knew it would end up hurting them someone's been watching us playing a sick game with us you were right this is right up my alley Nightingale came this way either he dropped this page or The Killers left it for us manuscript Pages can be read inside allting about this page all right the page we found a page in the woods a story about these events what is nightingale's role in this I carry his words close to my chest now inside The Awful Truth you must dig it out something was put inside him in his chest I must find out what hm the victim was one of their own FBI special agent Robert Nightingale gone missing here 13 years ago now he had suddenly turned up only to be murdered in a brutal ritual on the very day of their arrival and then there was the page this page the first page that they had found not the last the first step down into terrifying depths secret truths trembling beyond the threshold reading the words these words felt like a message was a message someone knew they were here what they were doing someone playing a game with them leading them on an invitation how could they not accept the sheer Audacity Of This impossible mystery presented to them even if they knew it would end up hurting them okay so this definitely belongs here those are his Footprints emerging from the uh from under the under the rock he walked through a boulder doesn't make any sense TR has gone cold I wouldn't go here what oh okay I think he came from the lake but his tracks make no sense so [ __ ] has something hidden inside of him where the heck does this go o there's more going on here that I'm seeing I need to examine his body properly back in town I carry his words close to my chest now inside The Awful Truth you must dig it out found all I can here time to prop examine the body see what I can find inside all right Casey I think something's been put inside nightingale's body let's tellw the deputies to get the body to the town morg okay all right well a witch with no heart a strange echo of owl murder was was this the character was this the one from the first island W I don't remember it's been a while there's no mystery in cauldron Lake being named after its cauldron shape and yet there are many mysterious stories about the lake it being a gloomy Doorway to the underworld or of a witch whose codron the lake really was the legend tells that when the affections of a local sheriff went unanswered he accused the lady in question of having Bewitched him she was drowned but her dropped Ladle grew lle grew into a strange tree named The Witch's lab oh all right hold on let me check this whoever wrote that page made sure it read like a story like a scene from a thriller I hate all of it the text said we'd find more I believe it but what's the purpose they're twisting events to create their own narrative to do what entertain some fantasy project ing their desires are we characters or the audience witnesses to their design all the above it's all about control deciding what happens to who don't let it drag you in too late I'm already hooked I need the next chapter all right let's go up here I wanted to check this place out see what the I'm going to go check something out be right back got it wait is this oh we got more more clues here a lunch box again who's leaving these out here Friday Mage told me today that her family is moving away this sucks I haven't even told her that I like her yet what's the point anymore she said her parents want me to get want to get better jobs and get her to better school in a big city I guess that's fair who wants to stay in bright [ __ ] Falls Sunday so this was Friday this is Sunday so I told her she said thanks [ __ ] kill me Monday I snuck out last night again went to the big house by the lake instead of just watching it from here like I always do instead of just sitting around like I always do screw that anyway something weird is going down there I'm going to find out going to uh go back there tomorrow tomorrow with better gear I bet I can find a way inside the building take some photos it's going to be epic ooh oh damn we have a look at the freaking full-fledged inventory we haven't even got in there yet so let's you know let's not explore that aspect of the game yet nice more manuscript fragments I know things can get a little crazy around here but if uh you're ever feeling scared just remember that Allen Is Watching Over Us is this the same cabin I don't can't really tell right now but man guys this has got to be one of the best looking games the entire year if not ever like this is this is seriously impressive dude the wch is hot here lived the witch of cauldron Lake beware her spirit may still haunt this place hello bro what the heck oh God this whole Mountain used to be an active volcano imagine the force it took to car this crater out of the earth Cera is a pretty rare so be sure to take it in so essentially we're standing in the gaping more of hell you got it I used to love geology when I was in school I helped Logan build a great baking soda volcano for her science fair cheating on a science fair that's almost a crime Anderson I'm not going to say no to quality time with a volcano I mean my daughter okay is this guy still here

some blad down your mouth little bastard hello what's up with all the signals and graffities on the walls let this be a warning to you fellow trespassers they say the lake is a called darl something formed by an erupting volcano or the sink hols it leaves in its wake but what if that's not true what if there's something else something less natural and much more man-made intentional I say the Lake's not formed it's designed and it has a purpose the lake is a hiding place beneath the calm surface lies a secret Machinery ready to be AC activated at the Press of a button and the people with the button they're in that big house by the lake preparing I know it first drawing waterline Rio Caldera is made from a volcano lava second drawing waterline engineered structur strange machines all

tree a murder cult [ __ ] have you heard of this Cult of the tree Sheriff only the urban legend if you're in the woods at night the cult will get you that sort of thing we're not going to find out you're the grand Wizard or something are we I played some D and D back in the day wizard was always my favorite class morning Sheriff looks like you have some guests ah morning Ted yeah real important guests dear Fest always draws a crowd right too true more the marrier have a good one Sheriff this hey what do you know about that waitress from the diner Rose yeah she's a bit of a Space Case always has been why what she do now she kept saying that my daughter drowned she even knew my name it was all very weird rose has a talent for saying the weirdest thing possible best not to take a person okay we are here at the sheriff's office we're probably going to have to blur some of the Examination for the body just hey boss corpses downstairs ready to go yep in the morg all prep I'd like to take a closer look as soon as possible lead the way Sheriff I wonder if the Bri sheriff station anything you need just uh let us know we appreciate the support Sheriff I'll be right with you sir see you around just here to pay my ticket whenever you're ready to take my money so we share a morg with the funeral home next door it's a Sho string budget I guess you guys don't have that problem though our only coroner rotates between a few other towns and he's away this week but you can handle this right I'm qualified to perform examinations yes no dude this is this is really good so far I'm going a freaking something about morgs they always cheer me up I can't say I feel the same he's joking this is so wild dude the vibe in this game is okay let's take a look at our patient examine nighting I'll start with the external inspection before performing the internal examination what other Clues can the body give me there's writing on here can't make it out writing how' they manage that this looks like text a tattoo night and Gale didn't strike me as a tattoo guy defensive wounds they put up a fight aha they did leave something inside his chest the body shows signs of being submerged in water postmortem anything to learn from the body there's a lot to learn from this body bloating of joints indicates long-term water exposure victim was alive when strapped down timeline is seem consistent with bloating chest ripped open hold on bruises chest wound is cause of death but the corpse is bloated water locked doesn't add up ritual writing attacks under victim skin is some kind of tattoo it's too smart much to read there's definitely something in his chest did The Killers leave it there whoa is that a letter it's the same type of page we found at cauldron Lake night Andale hunted Saga didn't see her the taken could not see into bright light light hurt them made them vulnerable night Andale had no heart but here he was killing someone's created a [ __ ] up fantasy about us hey hold on we found these kinds of pages I didn't think they were relevant to this case I have them right here uhoh no no no wait Sheriff what the hell oh what the [ __ ] what is happening we were just in the beginning it's let the horror commence didn't see her could not see into bright light there's my gun bro that's creepy creepy as [ __ ] he's coming no weapon no grab the weapon the page said to get into the light all right try to stay in the light to avoid being detected by enemies Oh that's oh god oh hold on he can't see me in the light I'm going to wait for him to leave my gun's out in the hall got to get it back hold on oh god what the hell my safe havens will restore some of your health if you leave or attack from a safe haven while in combat it will become temporarily unavailable move now oh my God I'm in way for you here witch get out of my house all right you can aim by holding oh my God vanished whoa dude bro that was awesome he didn't have a heart but he still got up the page predicted all of it it helped me fight him he he just disappeared what the hell is going on here we need to figure that out if we're going to do anything about it somehow we need to make sense of this we were attacked by a dead man there is no rational explanation to what we just saw I'd love to blame this on mass hallucination caused by inhaling volcanic gas but we both know that's [ __ ] this was Supernatural Well I'm glad you were the one to say it now we can figure out a way forward wow what happened to the sheriff is this the work of the Colts what happened to the sheriff why before things got crazy Sheriff breaker just vanished maybe the sheriff knew more than he was letting on he seemed anxious like he dreaded what was coming one more mystery the victim of of a ritualistic murder turns into a monster is there a connection looks to me like the cult of the tree is performing rituals to create monsters maybe we need to start with learning this cult's goal their purpose wow talk about desperation pages on the floor talk about desperation these pages are important break a drought one before he disappeared being underpowered right very limited resources a little bit of light but yet still being able to do enough capable enough for combat to get you out of certain situations that plays a big role in the whole horror aspect of this game and I feel like this one so far is perhaps even deeper than the first island awake Saga was back at cauldron Lake Saga had to pursue nigh Andale into the overlap finding a way in would be difficult a ritual Saga would learn how stop the [Music] monster you can read your collected manuscript pages in The Mind place so this is the message this is the Saga pursues nighting Gale Saga was back at cauldron Lake he was there too night Andale was but wasn't a taken a creature of Darkness he was beyond her reach where some other strange reality the dark place merged with ours this place in the dark place a tarp thrown over top drowning everything beneath it a flood of Darkness soaking into everything spoiling it rotting it the page called this area an overlap Saga had to pursue nighale into the overlap finding a way in would be difficult required precise steps a rich ual Saga would learn how stop the monster before he killed again her job he'd be inside waiting for her a dead man turned into a monster light as a way to fight him Pages predicting the future there's no rational explanation this is the case we must solve all right new case where did night Andale go he attacked us or at least his corpse did I used the sensitivity uh to like to fight him off but he got away I need to hunt him down and figure out what the [ __ ] is going on here all right so we need to find evidence jeez okay the overlap what these Pages aren't making sense according to the page it sounds like n Andale went back to Cadron Lake and he's taken so we're going to have to go back the page placs this Nightingale back at cauldron Lake calls him a taken we need to head over there stop him before anyone else gets hurt okay we we heard gun shops y all okay did you get spooked by the bodies Sheriff breaker disappeared Nightingale turned into some sort of a monster and there are offices down you two handle things here we need to get back to cauldron Lake immediately [ __ ] me that's terrible we'll do what we can man man the NPCs look so good that's crazy right thoron nighting Gale's heart was missing how could he do anything he's dead right they're a fine pair oh no lies were told there my CL I has been held here long enough Nightingale and his cult are dangerous we need to be prepared in case things escalate more than they already have can you call it in casy a smart choice Anderson agent Casey here yeah we need backup the bright Falls case whoever you can spare ASAP think we'll actually find Nightingale at the lake the pages haven't been wrong yet we can't assume the person writing these Pages isn't playing us I agree but it's our best lead I'm going to take a quick look around meet you back at the car see you in a bit all right let's get out of here just wanted to make sure I didn't miss out on any like dialogue rinse and repeat clock out get a beer or maybe three I need to come clean Anderson I know why night Andale was here 13 years ago he was chasing a writer Alan Wake Tommy mentioned him she's writing a book on his disappearance you know the detective character from his books Alex Casey yeah I've heard the jokes at the office Cold Case Casey murder case casy sorry haha the same name similar job it's the first thing anyone thinks of it annoyed me but that was it then 10 years ago I started getting strange letters in the mail fragments of Pros describing murders you've heard the stories about what happened in New York some of it at least bodies started to pile up it was a murder cult turns out the fragments sent to me were from the crime books of Alan Wake the cult was copycatting the murders from the books in their heads they were performing a ritual to bring wake back their imagined profit after that case I started looking into wake's disappearance on the side and you thought this case might be connected to him his name does keep popping up I just wanted you to have all the facts next time give them to me before we find ourselves in the middle of a Horror Story [Music] literally oh the hearts chapter two the page says Nightingale is in something called an overlap need to figure out exactly what that means I'm happy I'm not in charge of this mess thanks let's start looking for nightingale where it was killed it's a little darker here the writer of these Pages knows what will happen because they're behind this or because they can see what's coming impossible things are happening here a world operating on different rules I need to understand this strange logic to see the clues to solve the case oh boy I don't like this it's too dark I've been thinking more about the cult of the tree it's going to get crazy what sort of cult refers to themselves as a cult in my experience they don't we're not seeing the full picture yet hey hello there how are your folks doing those restricted area signs don't do a damn thing huh hello Saga Anderson are you two supposed to be here I'm IL MOS fantastic to meet you and yes Steven here hired me to show him through the woods he's in town on important government business fixing this impressive piece of Hardware I work for the FBC Ma I'm authorized to be here and I bet you two are here about that murder nasty stuff how's it going you know about the murder how did you hear about the murder ilmo do you know anything that could help us people tend to tell me things the kosa brothers are kind of a household name around here speaking of uh if you're looking for some fun sto by watery just down the road from Bright Falls there's our coffee World amusement park there's SAA Z and we offer a variety of guided tours Hunting Fishing hiking whatever strikes your fancy you name it we probably got it what is this thing it's just a monitoring station ma'am the Federal Bureau of control checks volcanic activity and air toxicity levels no need to worry though it's mostly for research purposes that's one gorgeous sweater Saga looks Nordic I bet a family member made it my mother made this s for me how do you know I knew it my mom used to knit those sweaters for me and my brother watery my hometown was founded by Finnish immigrants so between your name and the sweater I figured your family might be from Finland too Finland close my mom's family is from Sweden originally I don't know much about them beyond that the sweater just something to remember her by Steven we're investigating a murder that occurred nearby what can you tell me about your Bureau nothing that isn't classified I'm afraid but I don't know anything about a murder operations here are run by a different department I'm just here to make some repairs the wiring on this thing frays every couple months yep that's the raccoons they grow real big here with teeth like you wouldn't believe can nor run through a garbage can that's all for now if you guys don't mind me I'm going to investigate this huh maintenance notes clear signs of tampering signal was rerouted onto transmitter that is not one of ours I fixed it so any alerts will come our way but it's definitely concerning I'll make a report for the investigation department leaving this here in case I'm on to the next person to fix this thing I'm not the next person to fix this thing if you're reading this check uh for tampering we may want to put some uh secure metal casing around the whole thing the raccoons don't get to it I was tampered with for sure all right boys let's get to the murder side Casey a lot of things about this case keep bothering me but one thing feels really off breaker's disappearance I don't get the feeling Nightingale was responsible he was about to give you more of those pages something didn't want us to have them or was protecting him from Nightingale spontaneous combustion I don't know I not the kind of disappearance we normally Sol wonder if this guy's oh no he's not here he he was in the uh morg now that's right wow dude it's getting darker and darker crime scenes drowning I never mind it rain feels like home no sign of Nightingale but the page did Place him at cauldron Lake in an overlap so how do we follow him there maybe something around here Will Tell Us overlap we've seen this symbol before hhm good eye we find nting Gale then what after we find Nightingale what then I've never arrested Ed a monster I've watched you arrest plenty of monsters Anderson you know what I mean Monster monsters light worked against him at the morg that might be the only way to stop him from hurting anyone else monsters overlaps rituals what do you make of all of this the killers are usually the ones performing the ritual not the detective acting out there their sick fantasy they may be trying to get you involved forcing you into their Twisted world but with dead men coming alive the word ritual starts to have more weight behind it we need to look around learn what this ritual is okay let's learn all right so remember there was a little case somewhere that had the same symbol that the key we got had so maybe bare feet Nightingale track nting I'll see where these Footprints lead can you come through the prime scene one more time Casey just in case honest if anything comes up I'll radio you I hope this guy doesn't die all right we're going to go straight here follow the footprints yeah dude it's getting dark nah bro yeah you thought this was going to be a calm experience on that first hour you thought you thought that was it I got my flashlight which is what matters most the tracks lead into the water where'd he go from here the hell night and game I can feel something nah bro presence no no no no isn't far that isn't even fair that a [ __ ] heart attack n bro that's [ __ ] up hold on hold on hold on what bro you can't be doing all that like that no with the overlap I know Nightingale is somewhere around cauldron Lake the tree was a threshold this place and the dark place you're in over your head next stop holder a Street Station the threshold like a doorway leading to Nightingale it's somehow connected to a tree threee which is Ladle oh boy they're they're they're they're giving us they're giving us ammo right now this way oh we read this already now it's just flooded yep there's a tree oh boy what is that seems like it's reacting to the light these aren't the same tracks that were here before they're headed into the tree not out of it my flashlight burned the dark stuff away it was covering another page the fuse was in place Saga stepped into the witch's Hut inside a bright light there were objects that stood out to Saga and that the light had manifested them the witch's HUD okay I trust the pages to lead me to the overlap manuscript Pages the fuse was in place she found it among the junk in the forest Saga stepped inside the witch's Hut something rushed through her a presence familiar she couldn't quite place it something long forgotten she tried to hold on to it but it was already gone inside a bright light Saga felt safe like nothing could hurt her here there were objects that stood out to Saga as if the light had manifested them pulled them from the darkness a shift in reality heavy with hidden meanings a coffee thermos a shoe box a mop and a bucket a poster on the wall and in the cabinet another manuscript page witches Ladle the doorway into the overlap if so that's where I'll find Nightingale no but that's where the footprint oh yes it was up here mhm this is the witch's Hut got the lights working in thought I saw something in the woods probably just a deer but I'm going to check it out okay I I found another page following up on a lead keep checking in Roger this fuse is busted Buster fuse a [Music] phenomenal yeah we read this already you were here this one looks good people should really stop littering though what the hell guess we went through that already as well n bro what the hell this is creepy as [ __ ] all right let there be lights right uhhuh break room is a place where you can save your progress okay so the witch's Hut is Page making progress the image of the witch in The Sign Saga addressed the witch the smudged line on the heart the second part recited from memory I brought you the heart which show me the terror Saga pushed the heart through the whole in the sign I'm going go ahead and save real quick you know just in case this the page from the witches hut seems to be describing some kind of ritual mhm what is the ritual a nightingale's heart disappeared from the morg where is it now to get into into the overlap I need to find nightingale's heart read the line imprinted on it plus the line on the page to the witch's Ladle sign then push the heart through the hole in the sign there we go I need nightingale's heart to get to the overlap where is it the CEST close he was there but he was risen night Andale was there the opposite of some spots who said that that's not it I don't have what I need to find nightingale's heart there must be more nightingale's heart where is it while they played cards in the General Store the witch had sto in his heart get out of my house nightingale's heart is is at the General Store in a fridge all right well here we go I need to check the General Store for the heart it's delicious case D I'm headed to the General Store I think I know how to get into the overlap Roger that I followed some ATV tracks in the woods and got a bit turned around did you get lost I've only been lost once in my life Anderson the years I spent with my exwife I'll find my way back don't you worry about it all right so if we take a look at the map the General Store is straight ahead so I think we can go straight and then make a right oh there's a light coming out of there there's a light here for a reason because there's bound to be Darkness oh [ __ ] which way do I go first hello some [ __ ] you already read that paper [Music] there okay [Music] hi [ __ ] you got to be [ __ ] me [ __ ] [ __ ] why hey over why the heck a cultist a monster like Nightingale jump scares are so intense bro like what the [ __ ] damn and I mean we play horror games here but use a trauma pad why will allow you to heal plan a trauma pad takes longer but Grant a larger health benefit but do we need it oh more inventory check with the lady Fortuna at the counter hold on we go to the counter lady Fortuna 7:05 all right so 05 13 17 lot of Washington 05 13 1723 don't forget update code palm reading and crystal ball gazing and temperature of dreams okay nice 739 the second to last code now we got a shotgun this is good you can quick slot weapons from the inventory and also quick slot healing items why is my inventory okay so we're going to Quick slot down this is a battery pack trop pad items equipped let quite and heal nice felt good all right what do we have here Saga EDS toward the broken door her gun ready flashlight aimed ahead Nightingale said it would be here The Cauldron Lake General store was overgrown left to rot Saga thought about the cult of the tree they had been here waiting planning a gruesome ritual murder meanwhile they played cards in the General Store like it was just another late night poker game Saga stepped closer to the door had the animal broken it there was a loud crash Saga found herself face to face with a cultist a hulking figure in a raincoat we watch in the night wild eyes behind a plastic deer mask an axe in his raised hand what's in here what is that shotgun ammo okay here we go colle the text on the heart is clearer now legible the wave crashed on the far side of the mirror where's the heart perfect sounds literary but what does it mean meanwhile they played cards in the general for the witch had stolen his heart get out of my house we also have these cases here but this is this is completely different right or no we can just add these here the Bookers describe multiple attackers we're dealing with an organized group of killers not Al lone serial killer the cold of the tree is Behind These murders this case just became much more complicated I'll need to start a new file but it's my first cult case exciting exciting girl you crazy I need to know more about the Cod of the tree if I'm going to shut them down all right so that's going to be like completely [Music] wow my God so many like pieces of evidence is crazy all right writing writing is part of a ritual symbols C philosophy psychology excuse me another symbol here another one there I don't have an explanation for this how are they doing this what the hell is going on here the killers are usually the ones performing the ritual not the detective acting out their sick fantasy they may be trying to get you involved forcing you into their Twisted [Music] World large amounts of supplies laid out on the table God Who's involved this has got to be there we go I feel like I recognize this the fridge the heart I knew it would be here like I saw it in a dream come on y'all let's stop playing drag and G and now I need to give the heart to the witch makes total sense oh [ __ ] yo this is creepy dude I'm not even going to lie this is Casey there are cultists in the area they're taken

coming be allows you to dodge enemy attacks what oh okay so what they're out of light waa what the hell oh my God whatever oh goodness gracious not good this is not good here we go we got to put the heart in here the wave crashed on the far side of the mirror I brought you the heart witch show me the terror me oh she's crazy bro I barely have any health this is really dumb Casey I think I'm in

their own FBI special agent Robert Nightingale gone missing here 13 years ago now he had suddenly turned up only to be murdered in a brutal ritual on the very day of their arrival and then there was the page this page the first page that they had found not the last the first step down into terrifying depths secret truths trembling beyond the threshold old reading the words these words felt like a message was a message someone knew they were here what they were doing someone playing a game with them leading them on an invitation how could they not accept the sheer Audacity Of This impossible mystery presented to them even if they knew it would end up hurting them the rer went into the lake banished the dark presence taken still lurked in the woods the dark place receded the current pulled
