On tonight’s episode of Night Springs… Tristan and Oliver gather their thermoses and prepare to aim down hard on their beaming flashlights, as they unravel Remedy’s multilayered, narrative-action-adventure Alan Wake into these three bits:

Follow The Light - Everything light and darkness; narratively, thematically, and mechanically;
Multimedia Madness - Discussing the layering of storytelling mediums; including the episodic structure and the manuscript pages;
Balancing Simplicity - The complexity of balancing approachability and minimalism with progression and pacing;
