Bright Falls is the prequel online series for X-Box's just launched game, Alan Wake. 4 of 6 episodes are up on the blog and so far the series is garnering praise for its David Lynch-esque aesthetic. What intrigues me about the game is that the game play relies less on the gun than the use of a flashlight where enemies are vaporized with the beam. Crzy!
The environment is also supposed to be gorgeous, woods, fog, scary shit in the dark but what most intrigues me is the use of a serial tv structure. The game runs through a series of episodes with recaps at the start of each new episode. The buzz is that the integration of TV format with game play really adds to the narrative immersion.
Can't wait to play!
