The Signal is an additional Alan Wake episode released via DLC. The DLC was free to all those who bought a new copy of Alan Wake. Although this episode is known to be in "Season One", it is said to be a more stand-alone/special episode.
Continuing on where the main game finished, Alan finds himself outside the diner in a nighttime Bright Falls, which quickly changes to daytime. Entering the diner, a surreal déjà-vu dream of the events plays out similar to when Alan first arrived, with everything eerily familiar but out of place. Alan cannot remember where he was before this moment but knows he must go to the back of the diner, which he forcibly enters. Zane talks to Alan and warns him that he should go no further and that Alan must focus. Zane plays a video of Alan struggling with reality and even tells of events playing out when Alan realises where he is: The Dark Place.

Resident Evil Zero is a third-person survival horror video game and a prequel to the first Resident Evil. The gameplay remains largely the same as previous entries in the series but also introduces what it calls a partner zapping system, which allows you to switch between the two characters Rebecca and Billy at any time. This feature must be used at times, as the game requires both characters to work together to solve some puzzles. New to the game are a bunch of terrifying enemies, like the mutant centipede, new areas to explore, and the ability to drop items on the ground instead of having to find an item box.
