Today i Continued Alan Wake II's Final Draft.

I took this screenshot while continuing Alan's Side of the Story. This poster is really cool because it's a excerpt from Alan Wake's American Nightmare, Specifically the page Night Springs, the Cult TV Show. This game has a ton more references to the first game that i keep finding more and more.

SPOILER

I'm breaking the bit i have going where I mirror the equivalent post for my first play through, but one thing that i noticed was the whole Spiral thing was kind of foreshadowed in Alan Wake's American Nightmare (Though it makes me wonder why Alan got to keep his Memories in that Spiral but not this one? Maybe it's because he dies at the end of this one?

While also in the VHS tapes we get throughout Alan Wake II we see a Insane Alan who wants to stop writing and give up and die, which is basically the plot line of the Special Episodes The Signal and The Writer in the first game, where we play as the "Sane" part of Alan as Zane puts it. I don't know if these were accidents, but knowing remedy they aren't and they adapted these plot threads for this one, which i think is really neat.

I completed Alan's Side of the Story tonight and i went back to Saga's, since that's where the game is directing me to go.

While Continuing Alan's Story i took a few Macro Photos I thought came out well:
