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.
Version: Playstation 4 (Remastered)

I don't get the hype for this game. I think the concept is very interesting but the execution is where it fails for me. This was repetitive, short, & very irritating. The final "boss" is about as fun as standing in line at the BMV.
Final verdict: Don't touch it
