Alan Wake 2 - Part 2 - WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY

[Music] as I'm recording this video the reviews for this game for Allan Wake 2 have just released and a lot of people are considering this a contender now for Game of the Year for 2023 considering the amount of games that we've had this year that's how good apparently this game is we only played the first two hours which I said from the beginning before the reviews are out the game was really good so uh let's continue and see what happens Anderson where did you go all of a sudden the radio stopped working and then that flooding just disappeared a crazy Forest is this who I think it is is Casey say hello to Alan Wake Mr wake this is Special Agent Alex Casey he'll escort you to our car Casey I'll meet you there right after I take a look around if the floodings were seeded there might be evidence we missed earlier okay see you there whoa Alex Casey how am I still is this the dark place no I can't be I got out yeah the pi from your books has the same name is me great moving on wow it's a bit of a hike to the car wake just get your bearings then we'll head out I just I I need another minute calr Lake I thought I'd never see this place again take your time but you should know these Woods aren't the safest yeah it's getting dark you have a flashlight it's not safe without a light I have a light and a gun you can relax wake Pages if you see pages of writing anywhere you must take them and keep them safe Our Lives could depend on it they have Vital Information we know about the piges wake we'll keep an eye out for them okay okay just give me a moment it's okay wow take your time should look around with the flooding gone could be further Clues out there I have to kind the flooding disappeared very suddenly I wonder if there's any connection to the overlap to Nightingale can we go over there no I've got to do a little bit of a refresher to see what occurred in at the end of the first one I played it a while ago and I honestly there's a couple of things that I feel like I'm missing you know this can tend to be a pretty complex story that's nuts all right so what area do they want me to I guess go this way perhaps yep yep it says investigate the previously flooded area oh okay we'll keep going this way anything here just want to make sure I don't miss anything who knows if I already did can we go over there please tell me yes yes yes right there's a crate a locked box is that the cult of the tree symbol on it yes the key we have a key for that [Music] right oh wow not and ammo looks like there are tools of the trade ooh and more space yeah I'm definitely going to need some of this stuff for sure the cult doesn't see their victims as people I'm assuming this is also all part of the flooded area yeah cuz it was after that big tree right yeah Manus script here we go is it this one he'd been on the trail of the riter Forever The riter Who despised Hemingway Bowski wake I'll get you I'll find you I'll make you pay you're in over your head he descended into the tunnels from the dark city into the ocean of Darkness next stop Caldera Street Station something a presence rumbled not a train Shadows shifted on the platform the riter's cult waited for him there The Cult of the word a cultist lean close I carry his words close to my chest now you're not allowed in the lake until he says otherwise he'd be caught murdered they got him they didn't get him he was reborn out of hate he was there but he was risen sent to find the light switch up from the lake that was not the lake we have ooh hold on we've got some additions to the murder at cauldron Lake this is the CT stashes okay so this is these stashes could contain clues about the cult better keep an eye out for more okay that's exactly what we just picked up right now right Falls area here we go this one's going to go all the way cauldron Lake perfect all right so it's good to take care of these you know one at a time whenever they come up because then you just get bombarded with cases mhm perfect dehumanizing their victims they are the predators their victims are just prey all right we'll go now I think to the murder cauldron Lake don't need to go over all this again perfect [ __ ] Nale goes missing for 13 years shows up murdered and then turns into a monster after I stopped Nightingale a rider who's also been missing for 13 years turns up what's the connection what kind of case is this I remember Casey as well also in alen wake's writings now I knew that name sounded familiar I just couldn't couldn't remember what do we have here they're gearing us up boys you know what's coming let me go ahead and reload my [ __ ] just in case we have no Health excuse me so here we've got uh battery pack I think we're good throwable gas canister detonates when shot inflicting heavy damage to anything nearby and a flare which emits intense light for a long duration can be held in hand or thrown sweet I don't think it's dark enough right now for these guys to come out you can quickly turn by [Music] pressing oh nice okay I love how you're telling me these tips now after I almost just died oh [ __ ] yo I swear the jump scares in this game are insane what the [ __ ] I think you were coming back now bro that's some [ __ ] [ __ ] I'm so nervous oh even the animals are turning into monsters bro that scared the be's all right the be's out of me I'm like oh okay it's just a jump scare it's it's going to go away now bye I'll see you later nah my boy had different plans don't forget to use safe havens to hide from enemies and receive healing com oh shoot so the light actually heal y to a certain threshold oh all right damn okay I thought it was just like so they don't come at me like that but all right so yeah things are going to get naughty here guys y'all might want to buckle up we've got some peels let be good to it thank you oh yes that feels so good oh that feels so good all right what do we got here H back at Witch is Ladle Saga pointed the flashlight at the strange dark substance as same substance nightgale had left at the morg there was something hidden under it she's strain to see the opposite of sunspots in her eyes blacker than black suddenly a change the light reacted to the substance a feedback loop surging uper arm Saga squeezed the flashlight willing it to penetrate the Dark Matter burn it away okay I think they should have done those like dialogue sections um as you're playing the game so you don't have to like go into that room the whole time and just sit there and wait and listen oh another one of these that's that's going to be uh helpful I don't know that's just me talking personally speaking got some arrows don't know do I want to go this way okay follow the arrows did we complete that other part uh that investigate the previous floter area I guess this is all part of the flooded area right huh o Streamside stash key oh it was R the game [ __ ] [ __ ] waiting yo this some [ __ ] dude nah can I reload my weapon please [ __ ] monsters some [ __ ] man oo there's something written here a poem or a riddle reminds me of the Nur three Rhymes I read to Logan when she was little uh one bird for light two for Darkness three birds for a fight four for a struggle five birds for injury six for misery seven for the ending whatever it may be a little clothes pindle perfect weird souvenir for Logan I have a feeling something's going to have happened uh eventually here I guess something will happen with uh Logan all right so how do [Music] we that's not right I know it's not I'm just one bird for light something feels different I should look around a charm cute it'll go great on the bracelet Logan made for me huh that was strange got to keep an eye out for more of these Rhymes I can I not put this one here oh okay I'm an idiot all right what's the uh attack stagger enemies more often increases maximum health oh those are like nice little perks so once I take out their uh their critical spot just got to kill them regularly I suppose these D are freaky as [ __ ] oh my God this place looks like hell an overlap of the dark place needed a push from both directions to manifest itself reality in our world eroded by repeated dark Lore tied to a location and a Counterpoint a work of art a horror narrative crafted in the depths of the dark place connecting to the story on the other side to reach out through the weakened Veil a story of a law man whose heart was cut out of his chest two corrupt men killed by their own Twisted ambition a haunted old woman drowned in a bathtub Twisted Reflections on the other side of the mirror arcs stabbing through realities amplifying the influence of the dark place these elements working in conjunction made a trickle that became a torrent a wormhole a Vortex and the art the map became the nightmare territory where the dark place encroached on our reality a blanket over it where they all overlapped causing reality to twist and loop like a bad dream remolding anything and anyone within its dark horror design creepy dolls mysterious Rhymes no weirder than anything else going on I guess before we head into that creepy cabin going to check out what the hell [Music] is hello oh God another one of those [Music] Rhymes oh [ __ ] hello y can we just go to the car and get the hell out of here this ain't it this rest easy buddy can you not turn off the flashlight I kind of want to see what the hell's happening whoa okay we don't have a code we need a code for the computer and these freaking rooms are tight as [ __ ] that's not creepy just a fluffy toy gazing at the wall you know y hello anybody home hello this game's trying to scare me dude I'm telling you 721 and then 724 tip of the day when Nature Calls on a hike check the direction of the wind before answering observations hikers have broken off branches of some of the trees down by the lake to make an illegal fire try to fix some of the damage dose the area maybe put up more instructural uh instructional signs I also found some tracks I couldn't recognize pretty big a wolverine or footprints that were smeared either way they were wandering around in strange patterns might be a sick animal we need to keep an eye out poem of the day the Sun as she sleeps knows not the woes of men who toss and turn in worry and fret and wish they had her Blissful Slumber observations picked up a bunch of trash left by tourists despite post guidance humans are the worst thought of the day every Majestic Pine was once just the we Acorn observation a lot of new growth in the area some of the sap uh saplings I planted earlier are really thriving must be all this rain I don't mind it either great sounds to sleep too it's amazing what a good night's rest and warm cup of tea can do oh there's a Code 2547 okay wait there we go experim uh experimentation update Dr camel 6 months ago okay Dr Marmont and Dr Marmont here is the promised update on the Project's first uh first experimentations the test items used were plastic animal figures teddy bears toy cars baby dolls the iconographic nature of the items excuse me of the test items was hypothesized to be a beneficial for the research purposes test results negative I will continue testing with more advanced items and scenarios no response from you is necessary okay this is nursery rhymes working title I have received your favorite uh your favorable view uh review of my project proposal thank you I need not remind you that the academics as well as recreational expertise in mythology folklore and writing will indeed lend the needed credibility uh credibility to project in both leading it and creating the testing material all right you know what I'm going to go upstairs bro this cabin these the interior in this game is terrifying because it it it almost feels like one to one so it's actually kind of like you're very tight in the area so you don't know when you're going to get scared it's hard to predict hell is this objective Research into the reality altering effects discovered in The Cauldron Lake Area utilizing fiction and art as a source and then manifesting the result into existence meth uh methodology the fbc's intent in this research project is to experiment with Nursery Rhymes Here and After referred to as a fiction in an attempt to recreate the conditions under which the writing would become a reality the hypothesis is that there are two ways in which fiction affects reality either by reflecting events that have come to pass but that are not known to their later Creator who whose uh Act of Creation therefore becomes the Catalyst for these past events after which they serve as the source of their own inspiration or by the fiction itself being the initiating force in its present timeline using the Creator as a conduit in the experiment we will create a nursery rhyme text with a specific functions and then use the depicted dolls and symbols as needed via a careful testing process with the purpose of the story told in the fiction manifesting itself in real life a variety of of combinations involving the dolls symbols and Rhymes will be tested in order to collect the large amounts of data with the hope that a pattern will appear which finder station two stream side one Cardinal Lake cabins Arrangements two Arrangements here that be the one downstairs and then this one all right we got something here FBC fin lasting test okay hold on there we go the rhymes okay so then the other one goes there too yeah the FBC is definitely playing with things they don't fully understand hero doll so this is what I got to use down below so maybe I should have left that doll over there maybe it doesn't really matter I have items but I don't think I have like an inventory capacity for items at least not yet all right here we go the hero brave and strong left home to right or wrong from the woods C wolf so greedy and hungry he ate so all right so I was actually missing another doll I didn't even see it I kind of the a button kind of just Blended in let me just go back here make sure there's nothing else okay so the doll we had the hero doll and then now we had the um the [Music] wolf which is the last piece we needed here all right so the wolf let's read this again the hero braen strong left home to right or wrong from the woods came the wolf okay wolf at what he found without a host in the house the hero returned to find what he loved the most okay could it be candy or maybe the chicks did he have chicks that's not right doesn't look right he say old I have a weird feeling something's changed don't tell me another wolf dude D up in there are you kidding me this is ridiculous what is this don't no don't go up there to find out Saga you crazy oh [ __ ] off another charm for my bracelet okay fine fine these things give me charms I got to remember that I thought I was about to fight another wolf saves you from death but shatters in the process oh so that's like a like a second chance type of thing okay cool maybe I don't want to equip that now maybe I want to move that and put it on later anyway I uh I think we're done here we've reached the car Anderson how's it going down there I think I'm done here I'll meet you at the parking lot M there it is the atmosphere in the game is honestly bro like top there's a rhyme over here another one that's an apple a mother Crow sits in her nest guarding her babies doing her best to protect her from the Beast coming to Feast but only a hero Brave of heart can keep the twool [Music] apart do I have a crow I have a beast which is probably the wolf I don't know if I have a crow let me see generator we have power voila let there be light this is probably a save 100% yep oh man thank God see this should heal me up completely children in brightfalls all grew up hearing stories about the cult of the tree feral Maniacs living in the woods satanists chanting we watch in the night as they perform blood sacrifices in the forests or things not quite human lurking in the dark there were many versions of the story but they all shared one important element danger in the dark in the woods somewhere among all the urban legends lay a secret truth the real identity of the cultist prowling in the Woods real faces hid behind the masks real Hands Held the knives real people fulfilling a grim purpose the forest was not safe people were right to keep their children away from the trees Mar and Matt thanks for the lovely hike Patty came down from NYC and loved every minute of the trip Lauri and Bob these paths have been I've seen better days Kev nice views you got here Mr lockheart may I suggest adding some nice rest stops along the way from your friendly park ranger do hike and enjoy the scenery set up your tent and enjoy a nice me relax don't chop down trees leave your trash behind be loud and obnoxious this is what that guy was talking about in the other letter going to do a quick save Crow here hero Brave of heart and then the wolf doesn't look right in the forest h M I'll take all of them now thank you the [ __ ] uh okay again [Music] come on it ate it it ate the crows babies didn't [Music] it [Music] another charm good thing Logan [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] break yourself get back you little [ __ ] I'm going to waste all my damn bullets with this stupid oh I know how you work now I know your patterns come on stupid I'm very against uh violence against can9 dogs and but that thing is not normal what do we have here oh nice increase hand flare duration and area of effect that's good I'll keep that for now I'm not taking those arrows that is the wrong way to go [ __ ] out of here bro yeah these dudes eat bullets bro aim ahead baby so once they're done it's probably best to hit them in the head once they're not possessed anymore or whatever and this is a freaking maze straight up oh hold on hold on hold on so here we have on this side we have that container I think here it is oh we need a code wash hands take chicken out of fridge and take a nap confused wash hands take chicken out of fridge and take a nap bathroom chicken nap bathroom chicken nap wash hands is there anything here in the sink what does that mean one I know those are the symbols that are going to give you the code but the [ __ ] is that Dark [Music] Water don't take anything if you're on one of the trees the lake no bro the dark the tree oh God oh God don't do this come on come on water what are those things I don't know what that is what are they dropping they're dropping some like cubes they kind of look like placeholders or something I I could be wrong but all right something's going on here [Music] uhoh warning activity detected a w event in progress cauldron Lake what's an awe Casey what exactly does the FBC do after New York when I started looking for our friend here their name came up I pushed them for any files they had on him but got stonewalled they have a reputation of showing up for weird [ __ ] they have a presence here and now we find our writer how about that all right we're almost up there I think

this the name of the story on these Pages The Writer's name has been scratched out pretty violently but your name can still be made out underneath scratched out Yeah scratch did you write these Pages Mr wake I'm trying to remember it's it's it's a crazy jumble like like a nightmare it doesn't it doesn't make sense [Music] I remember I remember [Applause] oh oh thank you thank you thank you thank you welcome welcome we have a great show for you here tonight Alan Wake is here one of my all time favorite writers and guests on the show he's here oh sh we're going to play as Allen now yes as us our gods of Asgard is here you crazy Viking was I on a talk show tonight waking up in places with no memory of how i' gotten there it was out of control I didn't need another mug shot in the [ __ ] tapids had I already done the show was that a recording point of Interest cases try objects and information that Saga has acquired to chart collection progress that's cool this dude looks just like a strange pull toward the TV this guy looks like uh it's giving me some uh John Wick Vibes right now [Music] [Applause] good to see you Alan great to see you welcome back to the show come on come on sit down sit down sit down wo oh man it is so good to see you Alan this must be an exciting time for you tell me does it ever get old so it does what get old publishing a new book are you okay there my friend you look like you've been cooped up in the writer's room for a few too many years this is exactly how I feel you know I've waited so long to get my hands on the sequel to departure you left us on quite the cliff hand we've all been dying to know what it's not a lake it's an ocean really means you and me both well our weight is over your new book initiation hits the shelves tomorrow what that's exactly what every reader will be asking this book is mindbending it's so cerebral I mean how would you describe it an autofictional thought experiment a Horror Story a postmodern detective story wait this isn't right I I haven't written anything he's so humble okay you got me good prank very funny but yeah I S to say I I've not written this I'd remember if I'd written a book right or maybe it was written by your evil double well played man that is spot on playing the role here pretending the world of the book overlaps our own that's very meta indeed you see initiation tells a story of a fictional writer named Alan Wake who is trapped in a nightmare desperately trying to find the manuscript of a novel he has forgotten he has written the book is set in New York but it might not be New York at all he is tormented by by his dark doppelganger and guided by visions of a fictional detective he has written that's right Alex Casey is in this book as well I guess we'll just keep doing this the whole show the jok's on me but isn't that what you sign up for with autofiction no but seriously I found the the structure of the reality you build in the book fascinating it reminded me of the Matrix I mean the writer is physically in his writer's room trapped there and he projects himself out to this dark dream of New York through the story he is writing like astral projection did I get that right yeah that's exactly right go on I should be taking notes here this is Grace notes to that other alen wake in that room writing this as we speak are we all your story Alan wow no I I I I wish you every success with your new book Alan I hope it's as successful as your bestselling Alex Casey series initiation hits the shelves tomorrow after this I'm sure we'll all be eagerly awaiting the culmination of this hero's journey Trilogy of yours a book called return perhaps man thank you for one of the strangest interviews of my entire all this talk of Mena Nares have expecting to disappear once this scene ends wow dude this is wild holy smokes John wig and the flesh hello I'm losing it something's not right here I needed to get home to Alice let's right his wife I was going to start questioning what happened to his wife right way out of the talk show just making sure there's nothing here this is where we came from oh this is great stuff dude my goodness what the hell was that interview some kind of joke initiation I never wrote a book called initiation this felt like a bad dream could make a good horror story bro I just cannot get over the visuals in this game they are impec hello oh [ __ ] this is where we were gods of Asgard that name sounded familiar 665 neighbor of the Beast Mr Mr door I was a mess I'd never heard of this talk show or Mr door before none of it felt right was I losing my mind my interpretations of many worlds Dr Casper [Music] darling all right so that's the way out probably I think could also be this way locked oh I need a [ __ ] code hey I think I've been locked in anybody [ __ ] now I have to find the code myself great oh my God could it be 665 what if it's 665 let's try that is 665 there was something here a broken TR transmission I couldn't quite make out what was that a message impossible to say this place is massive storage room nothing good ever happens in the storage room why is he acting like he had a a flashlight on he does not have a flashlight on did you guys see that his hands there was something in the studio with me I had to get out I'm going tell you right now bro we don't have a flashlight we don't have a gun we don't have anything yeah this is the ritual to you [Music] all waking up from The Nightmare I felt like a drowning man gasping for air this place felt familiar a ghost of a memory surfaced for countless days finish the story jeez a plot board for mapping out a story on the index cards the nightmare that just happened to me a summary of the story so far but other notes as well warnings I had written them I couldn't remember what it all meant the name scratch filled me with Dread I could trust these words I had to act on them you must write to escape plot board the [ __ ] read me beware scratch Alice part one late night waking up up to a nightmare at the talk show I had thought I was home in New York but none of it had felt right I was trapped in the dark place a nightmare beyond our [Music] world I had to write more okay go back over here then this is such a Trippy game like truly I very much but I knew my thoughts and ideas could manifest as reality in this dark place I'd use my writing to project myself out of this room like a deep sea diver to go deeper and explore the depths of this prison for a way out this room was my boat riding was my lifeline I would start again at the talk show [Applause] back thank you thank you thank you oh you too kind welcome back uh we have a great show for you here tonight real treat all you Alex Casey fans out there Alex Casey himself is here tonight that's right gentlemen who has given his face to the famous detective in the film series and of course we have Alan Wake here best writer the books the films are based on let's do [Applause] this all right welcome back to the show so Alan as the uh creator of the character how do you feel about this sorry what I know it can be an awkward question with the man sitting right next to you but mean how do you feel about him in the role of Casey does he look the part to you he looks exactly like I always imagined Casey to be it's uncanny thank you that means so much to me I'm a huge fan of your books so uh what's the problem Alan because on more than one occasion you voiced your reservations about the adaptations it's not that they're their own thing they've gone with choices that are different from mine I I I feel protective about my stories and these adaptations I don't know I I guess I just wish I could have been more involved in making them well in that case you won't have seen this either we have a clip from the new film murder case Casey should we roll it or do you want to say something first Sam nah just roll it this city was an old scar that ref refused to heal the rain made it Fester it needed the Sun but there was only the night I was tired insomnia covered me like a plastic film I was watching the world through a rain slick window my own reflection haunting The View I was trying to track down a missing writer my only clue was a table lamp shaped like an angel the only thing to shed light on this sorted mystery that's great murder case Casey great job Sam very exciting and very meta I'm looking forward to seeing more wait stop what was that about a riter about a lamp this guy is losing it he is losing [Music] it this way locked do we go back to the storage room is that what it is see if anything's changed here negative oh uh okay so the code is [Music] different 565 maybe 565 let's try that yep cool pretty creative the TV is not on here go around probably going to go into the storage room and got a little further ahead or do we go out here let me just go uh inside the storage room make sure there's like nothing there now the Dem monster is no longer here maybe we can see our body there or something nope nothing there ah it's open Hello I tripping out dude toilets nothing like a good toiletry all right just making sure cross our t. eyes here before we go and try and open this door [ __ ] there you are oh not so much evil that not a bit of good as well not one without the other good to see you hey I I can't seem to find my way out of here can you point me to the exit of course the work will instruct its maker I was going to get something from the basement for you but you can get it yourself now uh the more Cooks the worse the soup what do you want me to get from the basement and my name's Alan not Tom a man but a man with a tool makes two Tom and a man with the tool can build his own exit it's in a shoe box in the basement where you left it safe as in the Lord's Pur here's the key Jor key have we met before are you trapped in the dark place too you remember a the janitor you can't be lost if you don't worry about where you are headed so don't worry Tom the sun will shine even into a heap of Twix just remember to turn on the lights it won't take long when you get to work I've been trying to find a way to escape the dark place any suggestions he who Ms about his troubles is the prisoner of his stles it's not easy to get out but don't you worry Tom the home is still there where the heart is I often think about it when I up the floor and look into the puddle water is the memory of the world water Finds Its way the janitor was a bit out there but still a friendly face I had to trust the basement would get me out of here so I'm assuming through here basement probably that way or maybe not the [ __ ] is this bro whoa okay hold on so we're here the basement this is [Music] backstage where is the basement basement shortcut oh [ __ ] excuse me there it is where's the basement has a door right in front of you dummy you ever thought about reading do you know how to read what is that what does that mean is that just hinting at where like the light is coming from oh [ __ ] I'm going be honest with you like this game really gives me the creeps it's it's really super unexpected very psychological as well an old lamp in a shoe box oh nice was this what the janitor had left for me yeah this is where we get our stuff right like our or not I thought we're going to get our flashlight here or maybe the lamp felt significant for bringing light to the darkness yes yes I felt a magnetic pole between the lamp and the light overhead use the Ang your lamp to light when the light jumped into my lamp the whole room changed what the hell like something in a dream opening a way forward the lamp was humming the bulb glowed it held the light now now we bring it this way I felt another Surge from the lamp the glow in the lamp went out wow Shifting the light in the room dude the light carved out something new from the dark Darkness the [ __ ] this is insanity whoa what happens if I do it here huh this is super trippy it's like a whole different dimension look at this what the [ __ ] no charges maybe I got to bring the charge here but have sworn I grabbed the charge over there maybe I did not maybe I gave it away instead now I have it okay the dark place wants to drown me I'm losing myself I have to fight it I have to remember the clicker the light switch I lost it but I have the lamp now the lamp the switch was cut from this place is a nightmare not real and yet more real than anything a danger in the horror real it fads off my mind twisting whatever it takes into psychotic reality I'm trapped here I write to escape I've tried this many times written countless stories forgotten how many I keep failing but I must keep trying I use the story to dive deeper every word I write is a step forward on the spiral in the darkness I dive to the body to find the answer to the MTH and the key the compass that's combined to form a door leading out but how do you open a door that's not a door a bottom of an ocean that's not an ocean and a lake that's not like [Music] yo find a way out of the studio were these TVs here along or are we going crazy H this is going to be his type of safe Zone perhaps let's go and uh and a quick save as well because you can never have too many saves so I'm thinking I should probably take the light whoa or maybe not maybe not what is this a shoe box can store your items Allen can access stored items from any shoe box in the dark place okay in the dark place not triy at all I'm going to keep moving forward here cuz I don't even know what we got up [Music] here the pay phone was ringing somehow I knew the call was for me my goodness are you kidding me this looks insane where's Spider-Man at somewhere around here right I'm sure I'm sure of it wow dude this is crazy hello Alan Wake yes do you know who I am no who is this we'll get to that later there are spies all over Shadows a sense of deja vu washed over me had I had this conversation before Alan listen to me carefully Cera Street Station the subway you need to go there I'll call you again later make sure to pick up do I know you I I know you from somewhere you've just forgotten again we're in this together don't worry I got you now we've been working great I I'm losing you hello hello oh subway pass what are the odds of that he does kind of look like John Wick huh that's funny Casey I I I almost cannot believe the man had said Cera Street Station I had to go there okay do we have a map here I almost cannot believe how incredible this game looks my goodness this is gnarly where do I even go Okay so we've searched this side of things we now have maybe this little patio area I mean we don't even have a gun we don't have a flashlight I mean we've got that angel lamp or whatever but we don't really have anything to oh [ __ ] [ __ ] okay don't let me just passing through Shadows stirred like there was someone there but there was no one I wanted to keep it that way wow okay we're just uh just strolling on by minding our own business okay here we go do I want to do this I need to grab light from somewhere else Street station sign was there but the entrance was missing I had to make it appear maybe I could use the lamp to reveal the station entrance right so we need light the lamp was dead in my hand I needed to find a light for it all right let's go find a light maybe over there dude this is so crazy looking my god there was a light at the end of The Alley ahead okay so let's go this is perfect there's Casey dude again I I've been saying this this whole time this is one of the best looking games ever is this the way it was on the page what the hell oh hey door Show Alan Wake the writer I'm Alex Casey I'm looking into a murder come on what what is this there's a piece of evidence a manuscript of a novel you wouldn't know anything about it a manuscript what manuscript I need to see it rumor had it the manuscript contained the details of the murders a murder cult was following the story to commit their gruesome acts was wake their leader had he written it how far would he go to create made a perfect work of art or would he be the next victim stay here no wait I need a gun no chance [Music] Casey damn it I remember dying in this alley the dream I had it was just going to keep killing me here Loop by Loop wow you're not going to get you want you think you know you know [ __ ] you don't really want to know you're going to get what's coming to you whoa dude this is getting intense well we've got ourselves a flashlight and a gun two for the price of one this was an echo of the books I had written for years [Music] picking up Casey's gun felt like I was assuming the role of the detective locked okay so maybe once we sorry about that Casey wow here we go I had a light now I needed to get back to the subway station entrance can I open this door now still locked but wait what's over here uh okay why don't we just go the other way what the what hold on a second hold on hold on hold on hold on let's go in here we've got those symbols again what in the world all right so we've got that all right so these Shadows don't attack you or what's going on oh [ __ ] oh [ __ ] [ __ ] who whoa what the hell look the Shadows faded out until they didn't they were trying to stop me with the gun and flashlight I could find yeah dude um [ __ ] was that all about wa to open the subway entrance now all right sorry I'm just kind of trying to get a nice little screenshot area for uh thumbnail purposes you know the life of a YouTuber all right so is it this light here or is it on the other one [Music] aha [ __ ] leave me alone you bastard it's got to be down here this is the subway perfect caldero Street I needed to find another light to go deeper inside another light interesting you know what we need to to find here alen wake we need to get some damn [ __ ] bullets and obviously uh quite frankly a shotgun all right this I'm going to put this to Quick slot which is on the left as the other one all right so we need another light what do we got here another Locker o damn they're hooking it up right the other light goes here where do I grab the other light from that's the thing should I take that light and put it over there instead maybe here oh there's more light over there this wasn't even here before what the heck I needed to find a way around that fence okay this way wake uh okay what if I go around here and find ourselves a passeng way not there okay sort of toolbx excuse me guys all right so not I'm thinking I should probably go and and and grab the light and then come back over here uh perhaps the thing is if I grab that light what's going to happen happened back there I grab this light let's see if that disappears it does not what happens if I oh that's a map oh perfect if I put it here huh this opens up this is so trippy man this is so well done as well well incredible all right so we're going through the top section it seems okay we've got a ladder there I don't think it's going to be a good idea to drop down so let's take the ladder up top here there's that uh in between with Mr Mr door was it Mr door yeah I've written books about Alex Casey for years something lingered here a line from a half forgotten story oh wow dude oh that was well worth it [ __ ] okay we've got a ladder up here hold on before I decide to take that ladder want to make sure that okay so it's definitely this way there's also something over there on the other side these shadowy figures are freaking me the [ __ ] out cuz I I I don't know which one's friendly and which one's not going to climb up here I think we're supposed to go down and under but maybe maybe not align the Echo by approaching it from a specific angle rain tried to wash away the s of this city H but some sins the evidence of the crimes committed could never be erased not by the rain or any amount of therapy from Dr Jack Daniels it remained bruises under my skin like tattoos bruises in my soul Scar Tissue on my heart the rain never stopped fall and I never stop drinking should I go back out I think he's done all right wake oh no wake okay how do we tackle this here all right good good good good good good good our shoe box is think we're good for now don't think we need a save or anything like I mean sort of our inventory or anything like that I think we should save though all right those guys are not bothering me so I'm not going to bother them I'm just going to keep on going oh that's just phenomenal all right we've got an an arrow here let's see what this takes us there was something hidden here phase repeated over and over the words resonated with meeting had I written this that's that same spiral thing back there when we first got the gun and and and the Flash like the words of power can be used to make wakes stronger you can assign them in the writer's room so is this his way of being upgraded Main Attraction restores 5% of Max Health when using flashlight boost on hosle shadows in the headlights provide 10% chance to stun enemies on flashlight boost provide 25% chance to regain a flashlight charge killing an enemy o that sounds uh pretty good is that the only one we can do yeah okay so they have to be that makes sense yeah I like that the dark place a Rider's Journey the dark place wants to draw me I'm losing myself I have to fight it I have to remember the clicker the light switch I lost it but I have now the lamp the switch was cut from this place is a nightmare not real and yet more real than anything a danger and a horror real F of my mind twisting whatever it takes into ponic reality I'm trapped here I write to escape I've tried this many times countless stories forgotten how many I keep failing but I must keep trying we've got the map now so that's good this is the world map we have different areas here we've got uh okay all right we'll probably go back over there now that I know what that does I oh God you see you don't know if they're going to attack you or not it's so devast so freaking hold on nice any other day I probably would have just gone up the stairs down the stairs up the ladder whatever going up here this is like a freaking maze I'm getting all sorts of Lost hey [ __ ] off all right said he was a monster poised to tear into you the second you let your guard down you thought you had it teamed that you knew what the hell you were doing your last mistake unless you got lucky and you didn't deserve to get lucky you blamed the wrong time let your mind wander and the fire escape that was meant to be your getaway route was gone was never there at all you'd gotten turned around somewhere along the way he said he was coming to finish you off there was nowhere run all right let's go got to go upstairs I feel like I've deviated so far from more path like we're supposed to get into the subway and honestly I where are we right now oh [ __ ] hold on are we inside the oh my God we made it did we make we we're on the other side oh damn okay good good good good that's good I had no idea like well we're off track most definitely I was mistaken we just check this area here what the hell okay I'm just wasting all my lights sure that works [ __ ] yo my boy what the hell's going on all right let me check back here there's another phone where are the wipers on the hell's going on oh we're getting the light from the taxi cab and now can't take it never wage our story oh [ __ ] okay we've got this area here it's pretty insane how you can go about certain you know points of interest in different ways and then I think that's that right there like this this this is probably a shortcut that we just unlocked right through through through back here I think so yeah wow all right so there's also this door here I want to see what the heck where this leads no idea I think this is where he came from is it that is where we came from yep we ain't going that way that is not the way of success not the way to success creepy as [ __ ] up all right we're good we're safe we found our lights and uh I honestly want to go over there to see what the heck let me go over there really quickly before we we go into the the destination I I want to go over there nice nice here we go Wellness Retreat and increase maximum health by 15 increase maximum amount of Health restored in safe havens by 30 restore 50% of Max Health when new word or of power is discovered 100% I'm going with this that already is better so yeah we came back we had a purpose it worked out really glad I came back perfect so now we got to grab this light mhm and we go down and then we use this light down below perfection the gates to the platform were closed I had a ticket okay that's where we input the ticket give me a sec here just see what I'm talking about subway pass so should I take the light with me or can we do that there something about the station platform felt significant it would work in my writing but I needed more something lingered here a half forgotten memory an echo this guy's [ __ ] crazy all right there's an echo right right there [Music] right something was here a vision about to reveal itself I needed to look at it from the right angle come here before me on the trail of FBI agent had come here before me on the trail of of a murder cult he'd gone missing presumed dead the cult was leaving me clues to follow connecting the dots from one murder to the next inviting me to draw an obscene picture on the city map Caldera Street Station the name made me think of the exit wound of a bullet I had a flash of inspiration the ghost of my fictional detective a story thread I could use in my writing all right so you have discovered your first plot element from an echo you can rewrite it into reality on the plot board I had a location I had a story thread I would put them together write them into my story to create a path deeper into the dark place okay call D station missing FBI agent things clicked into place the story rang true oh [ __ ] making progress the dark place reacted to my story the way into the tunnels was no longer blocked the FedEd glimpsed into the m of Darkness it swallowed him whole okay follow the blood trail which is going that way why is that open so much further away now as well I'm not going to deviate anymore let's keep going I'm following the blood trail it leads this way you better watch watch your back punk the tracks led into the tunnel that was my way forward [ __ ] man I I am at disbelief at how nice this game is [ __ ] looking right now all right I I wasted a battery for no reason the blood trail continued deeper into darkness [ __ ] off [Music] I down this way probably not initiation probably yes ooh bro this is so gnarly a [ __ ] I don't like the sound of that damn bro probably had a save here to be honest yeah I'm Gonna Save let's go ahead and Save damn I wish that it was more than three slots dude got the subway map we're here now main tunnel I don't know what the hell is what so I'm I'mma just I'mma just keep going all right follow the blood trail that's all I know this is locked blocked oh [ __ ] of course that's the way go in through the train what other ways there going to be now H into the train okay okay hold on hold on I'm going this way come on Allan we can do it nice and easy the tunnels were a maze the blood trail led me on find Alice what does that say that aha we need a light for this area here and the light's going to be over there interesting another place to use in this story I needed to search the tunnels for further Visions inspiration for the story that would lead me deeper you found a new scene and go to the plot board to rewrite reality in the collapsed tunnel I had a new idea for a scene missing FBI agent collapsed tunnel a single plot element can be used in multiple scenes select the FBI agent plot and activate it with a then just becomes a reality I changed the story and with that the dark Place changed this guy's over here playing God somebody has not seen Bruce Almighty it doesn't end well another Echo lingered here a source of inspiration come on bro did I get anything for that I don't even know if it was that one but I don't think so to be honest what do you know me do you know work word is your research can help me ma'am what do you know there's more more than one urban legend about the cult of the word the murder cult used these Tunnels for their ritual sacrifices they say the cult reenacted the mures in Alam wake's crime books that wake was even involved somehow under a false identity Mr scratch which is of course a nickname for the Devil Himself it was disturbing finding myself in the story this way but I was desperate and it felt right for the story I will show you chill bro chill chill the [ __ ] out hold on this new plot beat would carry me deeper into the story you can only rewrite the reality in the scene you're currently in changing a plot element in a scene without being there was impossible murder Cults okay let's go this way better not be a dead end it's bad love to be on this case the cult can get you anywhere with that black magic [ __ ] let the day shift handle it what happened anyway some fed came looking for the cult but it was a trap a satanic blood sacrifice anyone who gets involved with the cult they're next I heard their leader is this famous writer Alan Wake their Unholy [ __ ] Messiah sounds like a load of bull you can already collected Echo at the riter's room radio okay I think here collapse [Music] tunnel here we go I was making my way deeper into the story I could imagine this murder call performing their maab axe beyond the collapse tunnel this the cultist laid the Casey novel onto the altar with reverence a twisted Bible That's crazy man wow wow that's insane all right let me go over here see if we um actually what happens if we go in there does it matter cuz it only changes this area right it doesn't change this wow it's a lot to take in honestly a lot just going to go here and I think we can actually now transfer the light that we have on this lamp and it should clear the water the water was gone the way forward was open C to the work yeah the wave for don't look too friendly Allan you know this ain't looking too good someone was humming was it worth the risk to go see who oh [Music] hello hello oh hey Alan you snuck up on me hey sorry have we met memory problems again huh yeah we've met Tim breaker we've shared notes hey I've made some progress on the map if you want to take a look I still haven't found my mystery man though you're making a map trying to it's hard to map a dream though I keep ending up in unexpected places I find interesting things like those strange markings that react to the light but never the one thing that I'm looking for feel free to check the map out oh I've been stockpiling supplies while I poke around if you find a stash take anything you need I appreciate the help who's this mystery man oh wouldn't be much of a mystery if I knew all I have is a name warland door the talk show host no no that doesn't sound like him the guy has many disguises but a talk show host no I'll keep looking kind of looks like him oh that's my crazy wall I'm just trying to make sense of things don't judge me I'll trade you walls any day remember so I was at the morg I was about to give the evidence to the FBI door transported me here to this dream reality why crazy who where why motive why me facts missing time no memory until now have I always ended up here will I forget when I get out abducted aliens door UFO poly polyhedrons polyhedrons dreams me not but not me others I know yet they are different the redheaded woman others I know yet they're different huh okay so we're here there's a light shift which is active dude there's so much [ __ ] going on man all right make sure I'm not missing anything here this would have been the perfect spot to save you know empty Locker [ __ ] bottomless hopes does that make sense all right I love how they share the same universe that's freaking cool here we go initiation [ __ ] off I've got a got a gun and I'm not afraid to use it the game does that really well dude just so you you're never on really you're on your toes but you're not sometimes and then when you least expected the one Shadow one particular Shadow will attack you I shot you in the face ass white n bro that's not not fair come on you can't be doing that thank goodness oh cookies [Music] cookies the memory is fading like a dream I must hold on to it I remember remember an awful beacon in the darkness a scene of a ritualistic murder sight in the subway tunnels is it a previous draft in my writing must be I've been trying to shape the dark place around me but so much Fades away even my memory of the process washed away by dark waves but some things Remain the darkest nastiest elements like the murder sight it's my goal a stepping stone to travel deeper to escape write a narrative that takes me there in case he will lead me to it this guy's cuckoo all up the ladder we need help good luck the train blocked my way forward but it was here for a reason it had a role to play yeah like rde that the rail train seem to continue on the Colt's Trail [ __ ] do we have down here no no no no no no I need the words uh can yall calm down is there anything here that I should be wake wake [ __ ] hell dude all right I'm going to rewrite this a derail train I had to figure this out on the plot board I had a new scene to use a new setting missing FBI agents do ra train which one do we go for hello anyone there dead okay so maybe not that one so I want to go check back here first um before I change the scenes see if this is still available to us and if anything here has changed all right let's go back it's got to be the CTS here we go the scene andbe makes sense together mhm the cult poured the gasoline over the train car an iron cage that would soon become a coffin yo what the [ __ ] this dude just appeared in front of me yo what the [ __ ] is that can't stop using the words never was your story another Echo right here [Music] perfect on ma' this is where the history of the cult gets genuinely disturbing the cultist track down the torch bearers living in the tunnels they locked the poor folks up in a derailed silkway car Dow it in gasoline yeah Charming it turns into a bit of a ghost story after that they say the dark smoke from the fire still roams the tunnel searching for new victims to devour there are no happy endings in this city the story thread felt important I could use it in one of the scenes I'd found yep so we'll use it in this scene then we'll go back here a new idea a new story thread a sick and twisted story but it worked all right so is this open still closed right we just got one path pathway I wonder if we can use those other uh options in the other areas wait this just takes me around the [ __ ] uh okay the Subway car had become a burnt husk oh it's okay I could get through it now what the [ __ ] oh yo [ __ ] crap imagine this game in first person mode oh my God real this game is first person would [ __ ] flame your ass in first person straight up all right this is a shortcut now maybe it's the other side yes yes yes okay so here we have light will show you the way all right so let's go down the ladder I suppose no big deal here easy peasy so we've got an arrow there again like if there's something here so if I go here I'm not there so I can't change that right the dark place and murder sites there we go this is new is fading like a dream I must hold on to I remember an awful beacon in the darkness the of a ritualistic Mur sight in the subway tunnels this the previous draft of my writing must be I've been trying to shape the dark place around me but so much feeds away even my memory of the process washed away by dark waves but some things Remain the darkest last helmets like the murder sight it's my goal a stepping stone to travel to Escape right a narrative that takes me there in case it will lead me to it okay oh sorry sorry sorry we came from there we got to go this way oh I thought we were back in the beginning I'm like whoa what the hell how sure looks like it though yes that's me hi this looks like the same place right all right I'm going just go down here I'm not going to [ __ ] with them boys not doing it my path was blocked I had to find a way through hold on the lights would help me yes they will I hate when I open a locker and it's empty it actually pisses me off all right so we got both passageways are [Music] clear what there we go initiation wait excuse me what am I right so that's opened maybe maybe if I go this way oh my God what the [ __ ] is this bro bro what is happening I'm so lost all right my God find a inspiration all right oh we've got that see if there's a way this way let take a look at the map should can I take a look at the map do we have a map for this area I think we do we are over here that's a dead end let me just go check it out because why not all these boys are here maybe it's it's not a good idea for us to come here I kind of do like that you know there's places to be but like when you're in a different you know certain area you you don't you just follow the path and you'll be all right I need the words I lost in theost okay I'm I'm I'm pretty lost I Hall had a story to tell my goodness okay here we go I had a new location for the story whoa what the [ __ ] I'm are they saying John Wick oh this is interesting don't rate really okay so maybe now I got to swap uh all right and then we'll do the Colts oh [ __ ] yeah that's different pick that up Allan pick that [ __ ] up man why there we go thank you that's a [ __ ] whatever it's not going to be for this one but obviously you know you want to explore all of your options okay I'm going back here so it's going to definitely be murder CTS the hall it changed into the murder Cults Hideout this is the ritual to lead you on the FED had witnessed something here that made him run scared whether the summoning ritual had been a Bonafide Supernatural event or the mass psychosis of Stark raving lunatics it didn't change the facts the cult was messing with things no one should mess with the ritual was a vital part of the story the key to reaching the murder site the alst were close now a dark presence rising from the depths the riter Nots of the last the shadow cast third eye project the night this is your time when you're gone writer the first word not the last and the shadow eye open friends will meet not the right or the light Shadow the to right to lead will meet all right let's go here A New Beat for the story summoning ritual thanks this is the rual to you your friends will meet him when you're all right let's calm it down it's creepy as [ __ ] I go this way [Music] W [ __ ] hard [ __ ] got this is coming I ain't no punk bro you understand me sick tired of be SI tired of your [ __ ] not good

bro let me do my thing I think it's on this side the cultists weren't the only ones using the tunnels hidden graffiti signs marked secret Roots I kept hearing whispers around burn barrels of an underground Society of Mystic outsiders with hidden kn colle typical New York Qui I'm not talking to Shadows not today boys stop I got to get out of here we got to get out of here [ __ ] [ __ ] man man deud God all right I'm going to make a Sher for this quick slot thank you okay boy oh boy do we keep going up or what's the way out of here all right good the [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] oh boy going to the room going to the I couldn't hear the dark presence it was gone it broke through all of that the tunnel was open now I could get through oh my God why would you want to come in here Alan you are a [ __ ] psycho see never go inside a collapse tunnel presence I had seen it before I remembered now this guy I swear who's always out there hunting me what are we about to find out in here oh
