Xbox 360 reference

When the doctor asks you to go back to your room at the start of Chapter 4, search the room across the hallway from your door to find an Xbox 360.

Nightmare mode

Successfully complete the game. In addition to increasing the combat difficulty, there will be sixteen additional Manuscript Pages to collect.

Camera Position

Your character, Alan Wake, sometimes lingers in the center of the screen despite you clicking on the movement stick (L3 or R3). To move him to the side of the playfield, press the viewing stick all the way left or right until Wake rotates completely once. This should push his body to one side and you can see what the hell is in front of you.

Item Maximum

Just in case you are wondering about how much stuff you can carry:

Batteries x20
Revolver rounds x42
Shotgun shells (both versions) x32
Rifle rounds x25
Flaregun ammo x12
Flares and Flashbangs x20 (each)

Microsoft Tag

Note: This requires a smartphone with the Microsoft Tag app. Play Episode 4 and find the modern art painting on the top floor of the lodge. Capture that image and read it with Microsoft Tag.
