Today’s game is some more Alan Wake 2. I finished up Alan’s half of the story today. I have to say i’m sad to leave it once again. Don’t get me wrong, i love Saga’s story. But damn, Alan’s story has some high highs and stellar ideas. Meanwhile Saga’s story is more so constant.

This time around I sat and watched the entirety of Nightless Night for the first time. It was amazing, it legit had me checking if there were post credit scenes. I love that remedy did this. They absolutely did not have to make a short film for the game. But they did anyways. And not only that but they made a really good one too.

Speaking of the theater before i leave it, One of the shadows spawned in his seat backwards which made me laugh. I had to stop and look at it.

As i was heading out i stopped to grab some collectibles, and you know what i ran into that actually really unsettled me for the first time in a while since first playing this game? This shadow barrier at the edge of the dark place. It makes this humming noise and you can’t see what’s out there. There could be nothing, or there could be the worst thing ever. It freaks me the fuck out. I love it.

After that things went by pretty fast. I made way to the studio and grabbed the photos before dropping them off, and bam, I’m with Saga. That means soon I’ll be playing the DLC which I’m excited to do. I want to get to that tomorrow hopefully.
Totally agree with you about the Alan/Saga stories: Saga’s side is a very competent survival horror with great gameplay, but Alan’s side is just so brilliant - especially the reality re-writing with scenes and light shifts.
Also surprised this was the first time you watched the short film!
