ALAN WAKE II

♬♪♫♩ is this real? i cannot remember ♬♪♫♩

༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽ ....theyre all alans....

Ilkka Villi || Alan Wake 2

Old Gods of Asgard: listen to me, Alan. you have to reconcile with your worst impulses. you have to acknowledge that the cruel, vindictive man haunting you is as much a part of you as anything else. you'll never complete the hero's journey, otherwise. are you listening? you have to become one with the darkness, Alan.

Alan Wake: I am going to kill my evil doppelganger with a gun

David Harewood as Mr. Warlin Door in ALAN WAKE 2

A door that spans between two rooms... is in both. A door that can lead anywhere... is everywhere. That door is the center. He governs the currents of reality.

Well hello, Darling...

Have we met before? Are you trapped in The Dark Place too?

The horror story come true

I'm dark, twisted and cruel

ALEX CASEY

—I remembered dying in this alley in a dream I had. He was just gonna keep killing me here, loop by loop."

fucking obsessed with what's going on with Casey, in both the narrative and the game play. most immediately, tho, it's just the way that he Has To Die in order for Wake and You the Player to get a gun and a flashlight. sometimes the narrative-gameplay requires a sacrifice-body! feed it your creation, Alan!! except. that's not entirely your creation. there is some 'the things we create when we're scared and want to be rescued' happening re: Alan with Casey. also. the dark presence. the way it gets a hold of Casey is less like a possession and more like a violent penetration or infection. turning these thoughts around in my head like they're on a microwave plate.

also this too
