Alan Wake 2 draws inspiration from canceled Silent Hills with psychological horror

Alan Wake 2 shares similarities with P.T. and the canceled Silent Hills game, including setting, atmosphere, and psychological horror.

Both use techniques like looping corridors and repetition to build tension. Danger around each corner is scarier than confrontations.

Guillermo del Toro was set to work on Silent Hills. Remedy also combines games and films.

When creative studios like Remedy focus on horror, the results can be terrifyingly impressive, like with Alan Wake 2.
