Light is also your resort whenever you’re low on health as it heals you up. An over-the-top action third-person shooter that sees you encountering shadows that are weak against the power of light.

The gameplay is pretty similar to the likes of Silent Hill: Downpour, and Dead Space. Thankfully, Alan possesses the means and skills to outwit any danger that assails him. Alan will experience abnormal sceneries and strange shadows that’ll haunt him throughout the game. The game puts you in the shoes of the best-selling thriller novelist Alan Wake as he ventures into an investigation to uncover the obscure reason behind his wife’s sudden disappearance. Despite not being too scary, the game has its moments where it manages to scare the crap out of you. Critics remarked on its departure from the perceived trappings of the Silent Hill franchise, and were divided on its place within the series: some wrote that it succeeded as an enjoyable dungeon crawler, while others criticized it as neither a faithful Silent Hill title nor a good dungeon crawler.Brought to you by the minds behind Max Payne, Alan Wake is almost on the same level of epicness as the aforementioned. Upon release, Book of Memories received mixed reviews. Daniel Licht returned to score its soundtrack Rob King and voice actor Troy Baker contributed a track, which featured vocals by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn and Baker's background vocals. The narrative concept of Book of Memories was inspired by the fictional Book of Lost Memories in Silent Hill game lore, with the Book of Memories conceptualized as the literal story of a person's life. Konami intended for the game's content to be oriented towards short multiplayer sessions on a handheld console, which was a departure from the single-player gameplay of previous Silent Hill titles.

Book of Memories entered development in summer 2010.
