    What do you think The Dark Place was?

    What did you think they meant by Ocean?

          There’s a single upside down / dark place / distortion of the real world in the first game. It has ZERO resemblance to EEAAO. You would know that, if you were capable of remembering what you knew before you played the second game.

            The whole shtick is writing becoming real creating multiple realities and you do realize Control with its Alan Wake dlc and Quantum Break exist along with American Nightmare and the DLCs for AW1.

              ftfy there is no creating multiple realities in the first game whatsoever. There is a dark place that Thomas Zane is trapped in, and there’s a normal world that Alan is in that he’s twisting and changing with his writing. Nothing in the mainline DLCs that got remastered suggest otherwise.

              Control takes place presumably in the same normal universe as Alan Wake.

              Quantum Break could potentially take place in the same universe but is not cannon as Remedy doesn’t own the rights to it and also doesn’t deal with multiple worlds in any way shape or form, just time jumping.

                The Signal dlc is Alan going crazy in the dark place trying to write his way out.

                Remedy considers Quantum Break and Max Payne explicitly Canon.

                  Yeah, it is, the Dark Place is not necessarily a different universe and there is only a single dark place. It is not similar to EEAAO

                    The Dark Place is considered a different reality and established as such in Control by having it’s own Door in the Ocean view motel.

                    It’s the swirl.

          I choose to believe they’re seriously criticizing you for 23 year old spoilers, it’s so much more fun.

            Do you not understand how language works? These are spoilers for Alan Wake 2 which came out this year. Alan Wake 1, both did not come out 23 years ago and has no resemblance to everything everywhere all at once.

              Did you even read the comments you’re referring to? Do you know anything about the game we’re talking about here? “The Dark Place” and “Ocean” are not spoilers for the sequel, and no one is saying the sequel is going to resemble EEAAO.

              Refamiliarize yourself with the source material, and actually read the article you can’t stop popping off about.
