Alan Wake's American Nightmare continues after the The Writer, The Signal and the original story of Alan Wake. It focuses on Mr. Scratch, a doppelgänger of Alan created by the power of Cauldron Lake. During the events of the game, it is revealed that Mr. Scratch was created when false rumors spread of Alan following his disappearance; the power of the Dark Place turned this misinformation into reality in the form of Mr. Scratch, who thus represents a negative, purely evil version of Alan. Mr. Scratch serves an unknown entity from the Dark Place, and seeks to use its power to plunge the Earth into darkness. Alan seeks to defeat Mr. Scratch in order to protect humanity, particularly his wife, Alice Wake. Like the Dark Presence, Mr. Scratch has the power to possess human beings and turn them into "Taken," monstrosities which can only be killed when light is shone on them.
The game takes place in Night Springs, a fictional town brought to life by Alan's writings. Within the town, Alan encounters several denizens who aid him in his mission to stop Mr. Scratch, including auto mechanic Emma Sloan, astronomer Dr. Rachel Meadows, and art curator Serena Valdivia. Other characters who make cameos in the game include Alan's friend and agent Barry Wheeler, and the Anderson brothers, heavy metal musicians from Bright Falls who aided Alan during the events of the first game, whom Barry now manages during their comeback tour.

The Writer is the second special episode in Alan Wake's nightmare, continuing the story from where the Signal left off. Seeing visions of his friends and people from Bright Falls, Alan stays steady on his course to wrench himself out of the darkness. With the last bit of help from the lingering presence of Thomas Zane, Alan now must face his inner demons, the darkness twisting his former allies into new enemies, and must reach the lighthouse to finally regain control over himself within the Dark Place. With his mind spiraling, he's running out of time before he's lost forever to the Darkness. In this DLC, Alan takes back his pen and reclaims his mind to once again become the Writer he's meant to be.

Alan Wake follows bestselling thriller novelist and title namesake Alan Wake as he tries to uncover the mystery behind his wife's disappearance during a vacation in the small, fictional town of Bright Falls, Washington.

Alan Wake is an action-adventure game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Game Studios. The game was released in May 2010 for the Xbox 360, with a Windows version following in February 2012 and a remastered version released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows in October 2021, as well as a Nintendo Switch version in October 2022.
In its pacing and structure, Alan Wake is similar to a thriller television series, with episodes that contain plot twists and cliffhangers. The game itself consists of six episodes, and the storyline is continued by two special episodes, The Signal and The Writer, that were made available as downloadable content (DLC) within the same year of the game's release. Additionally, a six-episode live-action web series called Bright Falls acts as a prequel to the game, and a number of related books also expand upon the Alan Wake story.
