Remedy has made some big games - Max Payne, Quantum Break, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Control ﷽- but Alan Wake is the cult hit tha🏅t fans can't forget. In a new interview, the studio's writer Sam Lake has revealed some of the canceled projects that came before the horror adventure.

"The first concept we were exploring was actually a fant꧂asy game with a lot of humor in it &nda🌼sh; quite a bit different than hard-boiled noir," Lake told

"It was ve🐽ry Terry Pratchett inspired, tonally. We decided we were not going in tha🐻t direction after exploring it for a while."

Some i♛deas and mechanics from that project stuck though, including the use of day and night.

"There were other concepts, too. There ꦐwas a zombie-apocalypse game that was kind of a road trip from East Coast to West Coast. And there was another idea with a small town.  Although that concept ended up being different than Alan Wake, the small-town idea was something that remained on the table. So we had day and night, light and dark, a small-town setting, and pieces like that – even if the concept we were working on didn’t feel quite righ🐼t, some elements of it remained."

Lake also explained how Alan Wake and Control are linked, sharing a universe and keeping the memory of the ten-year-old horror game alive for ꦆfans.

"I wanted to build the idea of a connected universe for Remedy in the background. If you play Control and explore, you'll find things that show Alan Wake and Control exist in the same world. What's more, it becomes clear that the Federal Bureau of 💝Control that𝔍 deals with these unexplainable things has been looking into what happened in Alan Wake."

He also confirmed what we hoped Remedy was teasing with its next piece of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Control DLC, even more Alan Wake. 

"I can say that you will find out more about the Bureau's resear🌞ch on what happened in Alan Wake and where they are with it today. It's ki♊nd of nice with this being Alan Wake's 10-year anniversary that we have an opportunity to have more Alan Wake-related content for the fans."
