Remedy Entertainment released its third game, Alan Wake, in 2010. Not only was it their third game released, but it was also the first one that wasn't part of the Max Payne series. It was a major shift in setting and tone for the studio, going from a modern crime noir pastiche to a psychological thriller that heavily cribs and quotes Stephen King and Lovecraft in Alan Wake.
