To choose the right engine for each game, it is necessary to determine which game exactly is currently loaded. Currently this is done between Alan Wake and Alan Wakes American Nightmare by checking for packmeta files. In the future this should be done by testing for certain assets which are only available in this specific game, and choose the appropriate engine.
