Stumbling along a forest path, hidden from the sunlight and shrouded in darkness, where the trees have eyes, and you know that whatever lies beyond the shrubbery is out to get you. This terrifying situation is something that I’ve experienced in both Dead by Daylight and Alan Wake 2. With both titles utilizing cosmic horror to create an unearthly sense of fear, it’s no wonder that they sit so comfortably next to each other.
Recently, we learned that the latest survivor to be thrown into Behaviour Interactive’s asymmetrical horror game, Dead by Daylight, will be the noir crime writer Alan Wake himself. The multiplayer horror game is known for collecting numerous horror game characters, whether they be brutal killers like Jason from Friday the 13th or iconic monsters like the Xenomorph from Alien. Anyone who’s anyone in the horror genre enters the fog, so it’s no surprise that Wake is making an appearance.
