There's no waking up!

Alan has to battle the herald of darkness, the evil Mr Scratch, in Alan Wake's very own American Nightmare for $14.99 or only $12.74 for the next week if you buy it with Alan Wake or already own the original here on GOG.com. In addition to that, we’re offering the original Alan Wake for only $14.99 for the next 72 hours!

The return of the gaming world's favorite writer leaves Alan in Night Falls, Arizona; a classic American Route 66-type of location, but on a borderline between reality and fiction. The player is once again caught in a war between light and dark and needs to battle hordes of creepy foes controlled by Mr. Scratch while he searches for a way to burn his evil self from existence once and for all. Alan Wake's American Nightmare is faster-paced than the original Alan Wake and more focused on action in the spirit of “From Dusk till Dawn” and the Tarantino movies, especially in the brand new “Fight till Dawn” arcade mode.

Alan Wake's American Nightmare combines AAA production values with excellent gameplay and entertaining story to deliver a whole new take on Wake's world. New weapons like the combat assault rifle, sawed-off shotgun, or the fan-favorite nail gun make surviving until sunrise in the new arcade battle mode quite a blast--literally! This makes Alan Wake’s American Nightmare a perfect place to get into the beautifully dark and twisted fantasy world of Alan Wake, even if you've never played the original story.

Grab your flashlight and your nail gun and try to fight the evil with light in Alan Wake's American Nightmare, available now DRM-free on GOG.com 15% off for $12.74. That, combined with the original Alan Wake50% off promo, means that for the next 72 hours you can grab both Alan Wake and Alan Wake’s American Nightmare together for only $27.73 on GOG.com!
You guys should probably unlock it for download now :p
sweet time to download and get the flashlight out
Interesting. Error 404 when I try opening the announcement page from the main site.
Oh yeah, and unlocking the game would be a good idea as well. ;)

Thank you. Your premature announcement reminded me of pre-ordering this game. :D

Why do you have to wait for Steam? That is their release schedule.

Probably because it's a release time that's agreed upon by the publisher and distributors.

People give Steam way to much power. They are only the lapdogs of publishers, just as GOG is. (Only that their bite hurts more).
Usually I wouldn't have bought this game for the 9€ that it just cost me. While I did enjoy "Alan Wake", I mostly did so because of the story, not because of the combat (the game actually has too much combat, and too little variation in that regard, for my taste). From what I'm reading, "American Nightmare" has a less engaging story, and more focus on combat. So there.

So why did I just buy the game anyway?

Because this game provides a great opportunity to vote with our wallets. It is, to my knowledge, the first game ever that is released concurrently on GOG (DRM-free) and on Steam. And I want GOG to look good in comparison to Steam - so good that we'll see such concurrent releases much more often! :)

Only if you don't count The Witcher 2, and Legend of Grimrock.

Okay, the first non- CD Projekt, non-indie game with concurrent release.

Weren't The Witcher 2 and Legend of Grimrock released simultaneously? Given, I wasn't paying attention to the Steam releases for those games, but I would assume as much. Botanicula was one. You could pre-order it on GOG, and I ended up getting it on release day from the Humble Bundle along with a Steam key.
