Remedy Entertainment and Microsoft Studios have released the stand-alone Allen Wake spin-off, Alan Wake’s American Nightmare. The new adventure is now available for 1200 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Arcade. The single player campaign is set in ‘Night Springs’, a Twilight Zone inspired fictional world. American Nightmare is an exaggerated and gritty rendering of that world – where the horrors of reality come to life. When Wake becomes stuck in the alternate shadowed world of Night Springs, he must hunt down his evil doppelganger, Mr. Scratch, to find the answers. A supernatural serial killer, Scratch has his evil mind fixated on Wake’s wife, Alice, and even more horribly, Wake’s demise. To survive, Wake must learn to control reality and unravel the secret to Mr. Scratch’s demise with a trusty flashlight by his side and whatever weapon he can find.

The game also offers a “Fight till Dawn” arcade mode that puts places Wake in a battle for his life. Players are tasked with surviving a full night of brutal onslaughts while racking up their score.

Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is available now on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360 for 1200 Microsoft Points. The game is rated T for Teen by the ESRB. For more information, visit www.alanwake.com .
