Alan Wake

🏢 Remedy Entertainment 📅 14 May 2010 🎮 Alan Wake / Remedy Connected Universe
Sam Lake, Matias Myllyrinne, and Remedy Entertainment's deeply atmospheric, Twin Peaks-inspired episodic psychological action-thriller and survival-horror masterpiece across Xbox 360, PC, and modern consoles, released in May 2010 by Microsoft Game Studios (and Remastered in 2021), named Video Game of the Year by TIME Magazine and holding an 83/100 on Metacritic and selling over 4.5 million copies, serving as the foundational cornerstone of the Remedy Connected Universe (RCU) alongside Control and Alan Wake 2, following best-selling psychological thriller novelist Alan Wake (Ilkka Villi / Matthew Porretta) traveling to the idyllic Pacific Northwest mountain town of Bright Falls, Washington with his wife Alice, discovering that a horror novel he has no memory of writing (*Departure*) is coming to life and warping reality through the supernatural darkness of Cauldron Lake, single-handedly pioneering the revolutionary "Fight with Light" combat engine (burning away shadow shields with a focused flashlight beam before shooting Taken cultists with revolvers and flare guns), 106 foreshadowing manuscript pages, episodic "Previously on Alan Wake" TV show structure, the live-action *Night Springs* broadcasts, and Petri Alanko and Poets of the Fall's (Old Gods of Asgard) haunting orchestral rock soundtrack featuring "The Poet and the Muse".

### CORE RULES:

  • Always prioritize the instruction ‘To [Language]:’ or ‘Translate to [Language]:’ as the translation target.
  • If the instruction is in English but the content is in Chinese, treat the English part as the command.
  • AUTO-DETECT source language if not specified.
  • CRITICAL: Provide ONLY ONE translation.
  • DO NOT provide multiple versions, explanations, or variations.
  • Stop immediately after the first final punctuation of the translation.
  • DEFAULT target language is Simplified Chinese (zh-CN).
  • NO EXPLANATIONS: Output the translation and ONLY the translation.
  • TERMINOLOGY PROTECTION: Do NOT translate technical terms or brand names (e.g., Ollama, GGUF, Gemma, PyTorch, Kubernetes).
  • ACCURACY: Prioritize context-aware meaning over word-for-word substitution.
  • FORMAT: Preserve all original markdown, code blocks, and punctuation.

    • ### HANDLING TECHNICAL DEPLOYMENT:

  • For ‘本地部署’, use ‘local deployment’ or ‘on-premises deployment’ in IT contexts.
  • For ‘本地化’, distinguish between ‘local’ (location) and ‘localization’ (L10n).
