“This isn’t a magazine—it’s a vortex.” S!CK Magazine 028 is a 268-page video game volume that plunges back into the “cursed prose” of Alan Wake, meeting creators behind the horror classic and tracking its influences across video games and cinema.

To capture Remedy Entertainment’s work, the issue contrasts past and present in a 110+ page feature exploring many sides of Alan Wake 2’s creation with contributors including Petri Alanko, Anssi Määttä, Mikko Riikonen, Simon Wasselin, and Nazareno Urbano. It also includes a nearly 20-year narrative “in Alan Wake’s skin,” told by his performer Ilkka Villi as “lost manuscript” pages.

The issue continues its “cross-culture” exploration via interviews/features connected to works like Assassin's Creed Mirage, Chants of Sennaar, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Lone Survivor, Cocoon, and Jusant. For this edition, they collaborated with 10 artists—Audrey Vellard, Dead Pegasus, Dustin Knotek, Felix Elvis le Pottier, Liam Donne, Matt Kehler, Nicolas Bazin, Quentin Marroule, Sevan Grand, and Zura Hell—who contributed original pieces throughout the long-form articles.
