incredible to think that Alan Wake 2’s existence itself implies that maybe it’ll be about Alan finally leaving the dark place, directly solving the cliffhanger of Alan Wake 1, but instead now Saga, Casey, Rose, Tim, Alice, and (still) Alan are in the Dark Place. Genius subversion of expectations

#technically Alan does/doesnt escape the dark place for a bit and then willingly returns #but I’m still counting it #still love how Alan wake 2 doesn’t have some simple concrete answer where Alan is just. okay enough to leave the dark place #like on the surface it seems like a ‘bad’ ending where no one escaped #but instead we get so much time with these characters and getting insight into them #that their journey and revelations are satisfying #and I’m confident in them now being able to break out of the ‘loop’ or leave the dark place etc.#alan wake 2 #anyways. at this point they can all hang out in the dark place together #tw for drinking again. once again after drinks I feel like that one drawing of someone in the corner of a party alone #thinking solely of how much I wanna talk about Alan wake 2 #might delete if I don’t think this makes sense later on #I’m being genuine with this post btw I love that this game focuses more on the emotions and development of the characters #than it being interested in some grand villain and solution to everything #maybe that’ll be next game but for now this was great to experience
