Thought
I know time is broken, but it’s possible this video, Exiles, and Dark Silence are connected.
The last gameplay sequence of Dark Silence was in a hospital, which is of course where Exiles takes place.
At the end of Dark Silence is that now infamous sequence, which ends with Anti charging towards the camera.
A lot of people line this up with ‘I remember what he did to me’ as the nightmare, which makes sense. However, what if at the end of Dark Silence the jolt sends Jack to the beginning of Exiles. Or there’s something right after he said ‘I remember what he did to me’ which makes him suddenly appear in his recording room. Which would somewhat explain the disorientation. He had been in his bedroom ‘awake’ but was now in his recording room.
There’s similar themes of ‘waking up’ as well. Which I think we’re agreed on that he’s not actually waking up. Not yet anyway. Anti’s messing with him royally, making him think he’s awake and safe, and ripping it from him again almost immediately.
Anyhoo, this has been a crack pot theory. Shapeshifter out
