Alan Wake 2, as mentioned by the article I linked. Sales have dried up before it became profitable, but Sweeney has confirmed that it wouldn’t be released on Steam.
It’s always had its fans. The story is a pulp adventure with notes of Stephen King (without the cocaine), the action gameplay ranges from underwhelming to pretty bad, and the narration’s delivery by Matthew Porretta is flatter than a bowling alley, but it all comes together as something incredibly charming. I credit Twitch user shaft_of_justice with the most accurate description: “the best 6/10 game there is”.
“Media I had no interest in, but now I play DBD and need context for the crossover content”
Alongside Stranger Things and… well Saw was on the list but then I marathoned the films. Tokyo Ghoul’s also on that list because that’s allegedly dropping in March
You should give it a shot. The gameplay is fun and, while I’m not sure, I think Alan Wake is supposed to be a trash writer. Less Stephen King, more Dan Brown so that takes a lot of the edge out of it.

Honestly I like it just for the Poets of the Fall soundtrack
