I look at you, and it's not you, just some stranger who resembles you, looking out from behind your eyes, and I don't like that guy much, and now it's all gonna go to hell.

A story is not a machine that does what you tell it.
A story is a beast with a life of its own.
You can create it, shape it but as the story grows, it starts wanting things of its own.
Change one thing, and you set off a chain reaction of events that spreads through the whole thing.
The characters have to be true to themselves.
The events need to follow a logic that fits the story.
A single flaw and the magic is gone.
The story dies.
Alice dies.
Saddest realization of the game for me.
Reason #2641 why I love Barry so much.
To her, darkness wasn't simply the absence of light, but something more tangible than that. It was something you could touch and feel. Worse than that, it was something with a mind of its own, something malicious or malign. For her, things changed when they were wrapped in darkness, they turned into something else, something foreign, and nothing was safe or innocent anymore.
A writer is a light that reveals the world of his story from darkness, shapes it from nothingness, the way a sculptor carves a statue from a block of granite. If I stop, the world I'm making dies. Darkness will reclaim it. It's a long, hard journey into the dark. The dread lingers at the edge of perfection. I'll push on. Anything is possible here I'll write the story, I'll save her.
Was I looking for answers for Alan Wake for 9 years now?
Yes. I played Alan Wake, Alan Wake: The Signal, Alan Wake: The Writer, Control DLC Expansion 2: AWE just to find some answers...
Did I find them?
Not really. I guess Alan Wake was right: "The unanswered mystery is what stays with us the longest, and it's what we'll remember in the end."
Did I get too excited when I heard the announcement for Alan Wake 2?
Yes.
Did I tell myself that I will play the Alan Wake Remastered right before the release date?
Yes...
Did I get too impatient and purchased the Remastered immediately just to calm down my excitement a bit?
Also yes.
So let's start all over again
From the beginning...
