Lore Expert Plays Alan Wake 2 | The Heart

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] what [Music] [Music] [Music] s [Music] [Music] [Music] hello hello everybody good morning or good evening depending on wherever you're at this is Dean from gaming University um let's just get my intro stuff taken care of so if you are new to the channel uh we do mostly long form video essays related to a lot of lore heavy games like the remedy verse Psychonauts and stuff like that but today we are playing Allan Wake 2 into chapter 2 where we left off so um while I was trying to sleep I'm running on like four hours right now I kind of decided that each of these streams we're going to break them up into each individual chapter so we're going to stream one chapter I'll take a break and then I'll come back after I get some food and we'll keep going it's the easiest way to break everything up that way hello everybody hey there assama hey Dragon what's up sky and Draco I'm sorry you enjoy your class sorry it's a bad time for you hey dcoa hello Emma hello hello oh you're watching chapter one when uh this one started hey Dennis well as soon as you're caught up watch it in like one and a half speed and then come back and join us what's up nothingness um from what I've heard the noob Queen is there's supposed to be 20 chapters in this game that's what I have heard but before we get started so I sat down and talked to to some of my people regarding chapter 1 CU we were kind of been chatting about it half the morning and half of last night after the stream ended and I have some notes for you guys about things that I did want to bring up that I may have either missed or I did extra research on so before we start this we're going to be doing this so um I made the question before because we found a book in the diner storage closet but yes we do confirm um hold on let me walk over here real quick so the father is still in the picture and during the call when they're talking about night Springs she was uh watching the episode with her dad so we know that's the case we're good there um there was some documentation about someone tracking a mysterious light and looking for him some people have suggested that might have actually been clay stward leaving that behind and he's searching for whatever is going on over there but a big thing I wanted to bring up that I noticed myself is that all of the victims so far have been people who went missing in 2010 so let's go to The Cauldron Lake murder no cauldron Lake murders hold on cauldron Lake cult to the tree no cult to the tree cauldron like murders okay so these three have been were victims that disappeared in 2010 and then uh agent Knight and G vanished in 2010 as well one thing that I find interesting that can get into the whole morality aspect of this is Allan is not creating new victims he's recycling old victims that died 13 years ago so he's so the story this story is not causing new people to get killed as of yet it's only basically secondary referencing people that were previously harmed in the first departure manuscript so that gets into a little bit of uh better morality on this one now that he knows what he's doing also guys um I think I figured out the audio issue so I went into the PS5 settings and turned up the headphones audio so hopefully that fixed the problem let me know if the audio still needs a little bit of tweaking but it's a lot uh higher than it was last time all right let me see what else we got in here oh one thing I did want to bring up too about uh saga's profiling techniques so if anyone's unaware Saga is the name of a Nordic goddess and the name literally means story or storytelling makes sense but she was also described as a sear of the Gods so having the uh ESP would go perfectly along with the Goddess that she's named after which is freaking cool let me see I'm just looking through my notepad of all the stuff I wanted to talk about oh yeah so the cult of the tree when they were uh ritualistically ripping night and Gill Park they did have a tripod there with a camera that was missing so the question would be okay why were they recording it and I have no idea the cold of the tree is Behind These murders this case just became much more complicated I'll need to start a new file but it's my first cult case exciting yeah exactly dragon to the West so like it works perfectly in terms of it also uh one thing I did find uh hold on let me pull this up again because I don't think I wrote it down but I made note of it so even uh the daughter Logan's name is actually relevant weirdly enough it's a Scottish surname let me pull that up real quick name meaning uh it means little Hollow or like a little um Hollow meaning the hollow of a Nook or something I think it's something to do with forests and trees as well but anyways you literally forgot who Nightingale was no you're good you're fine but that's really about all the extra information I got between the last stream and this one anyways let's go ahead and get going good morning Ryan let's update this and then go from there victim cult symbols cult psychology yeah writing is part of the ritual yes that's not right no night and Gale's only victim to become a monster why because that's how the story goes and we read that yesterday okay looks like we're all caught up on the board so let's go ahead and get back to the game um let me know how all the volume is again cuz I I turned up everything in the internal PS5 for the headphones so it should be better now I I'm running on four hours of sleep Ryan so not as well as I would like but anyways you bided all the Allan W control videos in preparation hey you absolutely got it Batman it's been my pleasure dude this has been a fun three or four years I don't remember when I got started but voices are super clear all right perfect if there is anything where you say I turn the volume the game up or turn the game down or my voice down let me know let's go okay so I take that back we actually do have new victims just as I finished saying that Saga was back at cauldron Lake Saga had to pursue night Andale into the overlap look like we got a new one finding a way in would be difficult a ritual Saga would learn how stop the monster wasn't wasn't Saga was back at cauldron Lake he was there too Nightingale was but wasn't to taken a creature of Darkness he was beyond her reach where some other strange reality the dark place merged with ours this place in the dark place a tarp thrown over top drowning everything beneath it a flood of Darkness soaking into everything spoiling it rotting it the page called this area an overlap Saga had to pursue night Andale into the overlap finding a way in would be difficult required precise steps a ritual Saga would learn how stop the monster before he killed again her job he'd be inside waiting for her so I guess that's what we're calling the thresholds these times around is overlaps that's the term that Alan's going to be using all right give me a second casy I'll come talk to you in a second must be locked from the other side right before things got crazy Sheriff breaker just vanished did he actually like vanish vanish Into Thin Air or he did just leave the room before happen like he dreaded what was coming one more mystery cuz that would imply two very different things there's no rational explanation to what we just saw I'd love to blame this on mass hallucination caused by inhaling volcanic gas but we both know that's [ __ ] this was Supernatural so they said that uh night Andale was and was not Tak so there there might be another third thing here who knows the victim of a ritualistic murder turns into a monster is there a connection looks to me like the cult of the tree is performing rituals to create monsters maybe head back in we need to start with learning this cult's goal their purpose or maybe we have some profiling work to do nope I think this oh we do have more Casey The Cult of the Tre performing rituals to create Monsters uh uh writing part of the ritual orally what is it no cult goal there we go I don't have an explanation for this how are they doing this what the hell is going on the killers are usually the ones performing the ritual not the detective acting out their sick fantasy they may be trying to get you involved forcing you into their Twisted world so some of these dialogue that goes with it [Music] interesting okay I guess we're not going out here yet elevator is not working okay I take back everything I said about having the mor on the lower floor if we have an elevator we're good oh there is a dead man turned into a monster light as a way to fight him Pages predicting the future go there's no rational explanation Saga had to purs into the overlap to find a way it would be difficult Saga was back at cauldron lake so I guess we're going back to the lake hey there Osama how you doing if you could Corner Sam and ask him for M dialogue where actual language or just gibberish it's loose associations is what it is uh nothingness I I eventually I plan to um dissect fra speech patterns but I just haven't done it yet the page places Nightingale back at cauldron Lake calls him a taken yeah let's figure this out we need to head over there stop him before anyone else gets hurt okay we we heard gun shops you all okay did you get spooked by the bodies Sheriff breaker disappeared Nightingale turned into some sort of a monster and there are offices down you two hand get back to imediately get the group involved so again these two are aware of the weird stuff that happens in this they may seem like a b couple of dopes but they're part of Frank breaker's night Springs group but that's crazy right thoron nighting Gale's heart was missing how could he do anything he's dead yeah right well that's all crazy talk monsters aren't real and what do you mean the the sheriff disappeared like puff he's gone like magic Magic's not real Magic's not real right okay I don't know if you guys are putting on the show for monsters aren't real and Magic's definitely not real it's not sinking it's fine like should be fine and nothing needs to saying that the audio is fine anyone else having that problem or is it just you two seems fine on your end to it's fine for you as well it might be on your guys's then okay yeah cuz it wouldn't be an issue for some and not others okay yeah just try to refresh on your end and see what happens now cuz even in uh the original Allen Wick they uh these two had lines of dialogue that suggested that they knew more than they were letting on but they confirmed it in the night Springs comic strip that came out so I'm curious why they're pretending yeah they've exactly Isaac they have gone through similar stuff oh staircase that's what I'm looking for my bad that they are Loos dude I can use some chips those are totally not Doritos not at all well they're not going to really tell anyone anyways it's not it like it I don't think it has anything to do with the FBC telling them not to say anything but they wouldn't anyways remember the night Springs group is a secret society so you realize there's nothing on your monitor there sir this is all of us when we're trying to pretend like we're working and we're really not we're just typing way randomly but normally the monitor is flipped this way so they can't see what's actually on your screen oh hello there my client has been held here long I'm seeing the parallels too we start off in the woods and then we end up in the sheriff station for chapter two someone will be right with you this is the lawyer for this guy Walter I mean it's not Walt Schneider I think Walt passed away in the first game at my wits end with you so I guess your your lawyer is the one that's out here okay I want out something bad's going down let's see if we can head outside feel it let me out do you think I like throwing you in jail every other day no I don't you have any idea alter object what's a lot is he supposed to be talking sit here CU he's Gula like he's talking but I'm not hearing anything buddy is it really worth this yeah I think the audio is just not playing that sucks okay guess we're heading out I can't force it open Nightingale and his saw computers we need to be prepared in case things escalate more than they already have can you call it in Casey a smart choice Anderson yeah a agent Casey here I'll go back yeah we need backup the bright Falls case whoever you can spare ASAP think we'll actually find Nightingale at the lake the pages haven't been wrong yet we can't assume the person writing these I'll double check but I read them in the last stream but it's our best lead unless they changed I'm going to take a quick look around yeah meet you back at the car I've already read all these you in a bit well ACC um sky according to the investigators at the oldest house they are not sure why there's an FBI agent named Alex Casey so I'd presume if they are completely CL this that Casey does not work with the FBC because this again this is the investigation sector whose job it is to look at internal stuff all right give me a second I want to go drop in the diner again real quick cuz someone's pointed something out to me and I wanted to bring get my bearings ready to go you want a pop Cameo don't we all I think every game should have Pope in it yes so the FBC is technically a federal agency um fan y we going to a cool guys's house to drink some bruskies are you coming no ILO I'm very busy wearing a turtleneck and drinking wine like an [ __ ] oh dear I know what y need yeah to the resue bring out your inner Wolverine with amab beer wow this is the best party ever thanks Alama beer Al beer is a traditional finished logger and we drink it the Finish way at the bar while actively avoiding small these guys are amazing getting blackout drunk on a boat mummer and trying not to drown in the SAA using your beer can to hide yourip from wanding eyes partaking in the finnished tradition of karit drinking at home alone in your underwear with no intentions of going out it's not sad if it's intentional all right let me restart the game then if everyone starting to notice it now too let me reboot and see what happens how do I close out of [Music] this I honestly very rarely use no I don't want to restart the console cuz I don't know what that's going to do for the stream it might just cancel the whole [Music] thing it could be an issue with Elgato I don't know how to handle that then um the PlayStation menu sounds are not delayed Axel 1 2 3 4 5 six 7 that's weird cuz some guys some of you guys are saying it is and some of you guys are saying it isn't okay let me see if I can just do an uh a filter on this so Elgato filters uh let's see I think there's a delay a video delay async hold on oh God it reset me here shoot give me a second have a heart but he still got up the page predicted all of it it helped me fight him Saga was back at cauldron Lake Saga to pursue Nightingale into the overlap finding a way in would be difficult a ritual so is the audio ahead or behind video okay I just put a 30 millisecond to lay on it okay I guess we're just going have to speed run through this there's no rational explanation to what we just saw I'd love to blame this on mass hallucination caused by inhaling volcanic gas but we both know that's [ __ ] this was Supernatural Well I'm glad you were the one to say it now we I mean technically we are right here at the beginning so it might work fine but hold on I do have video delay filters let me see if I can work this more okay so I just put it up to 200 millisecond delay right before things got crazy Sheriff breaker just vanished let me know how it is now maybe the sheriff knew more than he was letting on H he seemed anxious like he dreaded what was coming one more mystery the victim of a ritualistic murder turns into a monster still delayed is there a connection looks to me like the cult of the tree is performing ritual is it better or worse create monsters Maybe we need to start with learning this cult go it's worse now okay see if I can do an audio delay then it's so it's worse now okay how do I do a video delay pts plugin Noise Gate noise suppression gain expand ERS hold on sorry guys I'm not very techsavvy okay and my pen just fell on the floor great okay Logan name meaning OBS delay you had to unplug and plug it back in all right well fingers crossed so that doesn't shut the stream off let me just try that real quick okay I just unplugged and plugged it back in let's see if this works I guess we can look at here for timing so in terms of my voice versus the game audio we got 1 5 6 7 eight let me know if that's better worse now what what the hell is going on okay try it again one two three four five no I got that I'm just trying to find a solution with it that's now in time well the Sounds here I just had it shut off okay I think it's fixed now it is okay good woo thank bab Jesus all right the killers are usually the ones performing the ritual not the detective acting out their sick fantasy let's just bum rush through this real quick trying to get you involved forcing you into their Twisted world yeah tech support it's it's not fun to try to do it live but yeah all it was is unplug it and plug it back in that's all that happened the cold of the tree is Behind These murders all right there we go now let's head back the page places Nightingale back at cun Lake calls him a taken we need to head over there stop him before anyone else gets hurt okay all right so the only theories I have regarding the the um rose knowing Saga situation is either a it's legitimate and Saga used to be from here but then that would imply that other people forgot about her being here um B saga's memories are what's messed up entirely by forces of reality changing or C because Rose has been touched by the powers that change it she's immune to reality changing effects which has already been uh said to occur so her memory has not been altered therefore she remembers the truth Sheriff breaker disappeared Nightingale turned into some sort of a monster and there are offices down you two handle things here we need to get back to cauldron Lake immediately [ __ ] me that's terrible we'll do what we can man it should be streaming at 1080p unless it's lower right now I'm not sure why the that's crazy right Thon um miss how could he do anything he's dead yeah I don't want to talk too deep on theories because I know some people have played more of the game than I have they're a fine pair all right let's go back into the jail sale and see if there's any more information we can get my client has been held here long enough are you going to let me see times do we have to do this Walter just a moment ma someone will be my wits end with you yeah he's still not talking okay it's tending to PE with you agression okay since we already did this let's Nale and his cult are dangerous we need to be prepared in case things escalate more than they already have can you call it in Casey a smart choice Anderson a agent Casey here yeah we need backup the bright Falls case whoever you can spare ASAP that's going to get the fbc's think we'll actually find Nightingale the lake the pages haven't been wrong yet we can't assume the person writing these Pages isn't playing us I agree but it's our best lead hey there m thank you so much appreciate you stopping by roll over on the issues maretto won't roll over on the issues Setter okay I missed that the first time all right I'm going to run back to the uh Diner real quick to grab that video about am a beer okay let's do this conversation I'll run back over there okay goodbye but I'm going to get myself some coffee you thought it was a hot dog stand I'm going to take a quick look around meet you back at the car see you in a bit coffee World why is there a coffee World sign above the OD deer Diner I do not appreciate that oh watery coffee world and why are we advertising watery products here in brightfalls yo we are going to a cool guys house to drink some brusis I'm just going to walk past that we're not going listen I'm very busy wearing a turtle okay so just letting you guys know if you look at the song names in the background we have on the top left the Coconut song we also have take control by the old gods alone in my own wake by the old gods we have like a bunch of old gods Tunes all over on the left hand side there so I already ordered my rebirth album and it's supposed to start shipping on the 8th of December so we can start doing an old God's music lower breakdowns drink way no Willis we actually had a reset because there's a sink issue so you probably missed absolutely nothing enjoy your day all right I guess we're getting things moving let's go actually let's go inside the lodge real quick did you check out the town Anderson just getting my bearings ready to go waiting on you all right let me just see if anything's changed in here before we do anything so what's good here any nice restaurants I'm a bit of a foodie well uh the restaurants and shops in town are closed at the moment unfortunately uh they'll have a grand reopening right after deer Fest though so if you're sticking around till l oh I don't think I am whatever a deer Fest even is oh well there's always our own restaurant at your convenience yeah I guess that's one way to make sure you get a monopoly in all the food hello hello who's in 103 hello are you the maid or interesting so so the people around the corner did mention something that uh they screaming coming out of one of these rooms interesting I wonder who's in room 103 yeah I'm wondering if there is a dead body in there it wouldn't surprise me all right I think we're good casy let's go rinse and repeat clock out get a beer or maybe three I know the feeling there dude all right oh 100% Isaac I said that the second Anderson I know why night Andale was here 13 years ago he was chasing a writer Alan Wake Tommy mentioned him she's writing a book on his disappearance you know the detective character from his books Alex Casey yeah I've heard the jokes at the office Cold Case Casey murder case Casey sorry haha the same name similar job it's the first thing anyone thinks of it annoyed me but that was it then 10 years ago I started getting strange letters in the mail fragments of Pros describing murders you've heard the stories about what happened in New York some of it at least bodies started to pile up it was a murder cult turns out the fragments sent to me were from the crime books of Alan Wake the cult was copycatting the murders from the books in their heads they were performing a ritual to bring wake back their imagined profit after that case I started looking into wake's disappearance on the side and you thought this case might be connect Ed to him his name does keep popping up I just wanted you to have all the facts next time give them to me before we find ourselves in the middle of a Horror Story holy [ __ ] hey there Rohan thank you so much for the Super Chat you're freaking awesome hey D hope you're doing fine sorry won't be able to watch your stream want to go on blind yourself absolutely dude you enjoy the game I appreciate you stopping by the page says Nightingale is in something called an overlap need to figure out exactly what that means I'm happy I'm not in charge of this mess thanks let's start looking for nightingale where it was killed okay we need to take a moment here because that was a lot okay [Music] so our version of Casey here was involved in a murder spree based out of New York that was ritualistically performing crimes that were copycats of stuff that happened in Allen's books but if we think about it in a certain light all of the Alex Casey books legitimately are being made real because someone's acting them m in real life and then a real Alex Casey is showing up to investigate the crime as is so in a certain way of view doing it Allan's the Alex Casey books literally became real because of that reason so which is first chicken or the egg chicken they the egg situation yeah but did Allan get inspiration from the real life thing and then wrote it and then the real life thing happened after the fact oh Jesus okay okay let's just go with this for now hold on okay I'm ready to actually look at this great this area is supposed to be close to the public o FBC van okay FBC van license plate 68722 yeah Allen again is creating more awes but ye oh my gosh agent Estes where are you I need to talk to someone all right so here we're at here rental cabins we might be able to get into the rental cabins now hold on Casey I'll be right there with you no entry oo am I not supposed to be here where am I at on the map there she is cauldron Lake isn't she beautiful and terrifying Casey you go ahead to the murder side I'll catch up if you say so the writer of these Pages knows what will happen because they're behind them this or because they can see what's coming impossible things are happening here a world operating on different rules I need to understand this strange logic to see the clues to solve the case Okay so this is the area we went to during the chapter one but maybe something's changed who knows you're watching at 1.75 speed how does my uh chipmunky sounding voice go when we're going at double speed like the whole time so I don't think lot of things about this case keep bothering me but one thing feels really off breaker's disappearance I don't get the feeling Nightingale was responsible he was about to give you more of those pages something didn't want us to have them or was protecting him from Nightingale spontaneous combustion I don't know what not the kind of disappearance we normally solve so what were those pages from was it from the departure manuscript or was it from initiation or if we want to go super tinfoil hat and go crazy with it oh yeah we already looked at that one we can say that this quote unquote Tim breaker is actually a shifter of Jack Joyce going under a pseudonym if we want to get really crazy with it okay so from the rest of this stream we're going to be calling myself Alvin just letting you all know it's going to be a thing you just witnessed time stuff for legal reasons my theory is invalid music's coming up so I don't think there's going to be anything in here but I just wanted to check there's dialog at the FBC station station where is the FBC station I don't even know oh there let's see if I can make my way around through here so let's go straight hang a right and then Loop it around to the left um M so what I'm planning to do is basically do each chapter during a single stream and then stream the next one but I'm going to try to do like two or three a day between today and tomorrow the weekend just one case without the r a triangle I don't get it yes you do fancy meeting you here our crime scene's drowning I never mind it rain feels like home no of Nightingale but the page did Place him at cauldron Lake in an overlap so how do we follow him there maybe something around here will tell us really she's into puns okay oh gosh this is hard to try and bare feet Nightingale I'll see where these Footprints lead can you come through the crime scene one more time casy just in case on it if anything comes up I'll radio you okay let's just go straight through and see if we can get to the FBC substation hey there Nathan no you're good that's going to be there yeah so let's go up here and see if we can go check it out real quick huh yes um I'm avoiding YouTube I've been avoiding uh the internet in general for the last several months to be frank oh hello there are people here now hey hello there how are you folks doing hello Saga Anderson are you two supposed to be here I'm IL mosca fantastic to meet you and yes Steven here hired me to show him through the woods he's in town on important government business fixing this impressive piece of Hardware I work for the FBC ma'am I'm authorized to be here hello there bet you two are here about that murder NY stuff how's it going how did you hear about the murder ilmo do you know anything that could help us people tend to tell me things the kosala brothers are kind of a household name around here speaking of uh if you're looking for some fun stop by watery just down the road from Bright Falls there's our coffee World amusement park there's SAA sa and we offer a variety of guided tours Hunting Fishing hiking whatever strikes your fancy you name it we probably got it what is this thing it's just a monitoring station ma'am the Federal Bureau of control checks volcanic activity and air toxicity levels no need to worry though sure it's mostly for research purposes that's one gorgeous s Saga looks Nordic I bet a family member made it Steven we're investigating a murder that occurred nearby what can you tell me about your Bureau nothing I think that isn't classified I'm afraid but I don't know anything about a murder operations here are run by a different department I'm just here to make some repairs the wiring on this thing fras every couple months yep that's the raccoons they grow real big here with teeth like you wouldn't believe can nor right through a garbage can oh my yes oh my God I'm so glad the FBC is playing a big role in this or maybe not a big role but they're at least very present I was worried they were just going to be like on the periphery in the background my mother made this sweater for me Freya how do you know I knew it my mom used to knit those sweaters for me and my brother watery my hometown was founded by Finnish immigrants so between your name and the sweater I figured your family might be from Finland too Finland close my mom's family is from Sweden originally I don't know much about them beyond that the sweater is just something to remember Herby that's all for now interesting okay yeah because remember they did when ATI was in the sauna with Odin and T Anderson what the hell is this what'd you find there Steven wait uh nothing just there something that shouldn't be here my ass okay yeah but they mentioned um the sweds which is referring to the old gods so makes perfect sense does the lore uh explore Allan getting out of the dark place well hey Kota so that's basically the question right now is we've been trying to get Allen out of the dark place for 13 years and now we're this game I'd be happy to get you vipet coffee world just say the word thanks I don't drink we Brew our own beer too ahama beer now we're talking FBC agent now the question is is the oldest house still on lockdown clear signs of tampering signal was rerouted into a transmitter that is not one of ours okay so someone's tapping into the FBC fixtures Steven Lynn okay Steven [Music] Lynn FBC tech oh dude it's going great dude absolutely loving the games fully what you missed uh not much we just bumped into some uh Federal from FBC technicians working out here around cauldron Lake that's really the longest short of it oh and Draco we found out that freaking um there was a relig there was a murder spree out in New York that was mimick stuff that happened in Alan's books and guess who went to go investigate from the from the FBI was Alex Casey weird enough okay I'll make the report for investigations Department oh is the investigations Department actually up and running now because it hasn't been up and running for the longest time I mean the Hartman situation kind of destroyed the entire FBC investigations department so I guess in the four years since Jesse first arrived at the oldest house things have changed fingers crossed leaving this here in case I'm not the next person to fix this thing if you're reading this check for tampering we may want to move more secure metal casings around the whole thing so that the raccoons can't get to it anymore Federal Bureau of control yeah cuz we still don't know we never got confirmation whether the building locked down was lifted or not okay and that's one of the lunch boxes we've already seen cavala Knights wait a minute cavala Knights that was um I saw a sign related to that outside of stucky's gas station back in the first game I made note of it but nothing ever came out of that hold on calal nights I think he's involved with something interesting okay it's the finished book of Mythology oh thank you I'll make the note right here okay mythology sorry I got a notepad I'm just taking notes let's get to the Mur site Casey all right let's head back down so they're Knights of Mythology finish folklore interesting and he's from watery descend from Finish immigrants that makes sense you just binged the first video Welcome Back In Draco oh I know caramel like honestly I'm oh gosh we'll talk in a second we've seen this symbol before good eye see what we can add on to here Co to the tree Footprints uh where did nigh Andale go here we go these Footprints weren't here before nigh Andale came this way I'm on the right Trail okay so he came here after he escaped from the morg and this is triangle carving so that's going to be up near symbols some kind of signature do they intend for this body to be discovered or just an idle carving it's going to be scary all right it is I'm all down for the scary parts of it monsters overlaps the [Music] rituals what do you make of all of this the killers are usually the ones performing the ritual not the detective acting out their sick fantasy they may be trying to get you involved oh we've already have the forcing you into their Twisted world but with dead men coming alive the word ritual starts to have more weight behind it we need to look around learn what this ritual is all right so one thing I wanted to make sure is the audio mastering perfectly fine because the volume is getting a little bit louder in game but also too that line of dialogue right there about case saying we don't like they want you to be involved in their ritual we already heard that that was that literally played off the caseboard here the killers are usually the ones performing the ritual not but she heard that before the freaking game even started or before before we got to this part of the game now is that just not intended to be relevant or did she literally prec cognitively had that conversation in her head and then it happened for real because again she she had that or heard that conversation was aware of before they actually had the conversation so I don't know if that's intended to be relevant talking about her precognition or not well I mean here let let's try this real quick because I'm not technically playing in um Quality mode right now like we we're losing a lot of frames if we go into this I think this is the quality right here but again we lost a lot of frames so I don't really want to stick onto that after we find Nightingale what then I've never arrested a monster I've watched you arrest plenty of monsters Anderson you know what I mean Monster monsters light worked against him at the morg that might be the only way to stop him from hurting anyone else well technically yes Dragon of the West so the Saga the goddess in uh it literally was a sear of story of the Gods that's what she was known for so it makes sense oh God the sun's going down I guess we're going down to the lake right now yeah now the spooky aspect is finally starting to come up between the crows the Ambiance sun going down oh there it is I see it the tracks lead into the water where'd he go from here don't don't walk into the lake I can feel something don't walk into the lake a presence is isn't far is it a dark presence all right everyone here we go is she standing in the lake waters oh it's flooded it's currently flooded right now ah there it is that's the overlap right where the witch's L is that seems like it's reacting to the light these aren't the same tracks that were here before they're headed into the tree not out of it my flashlight burned the dark stuff away it was covering another page you all ready the fuse was in place Saga stepped into the witch's Hut inside a bright light there were objects that stood out to Saga as if the light had manifested them the witch's HUD okay I trust the pages to lead me to the overlap he's literally just guiding her the fuse was in place she found it among the junk in the forest Saga stepped inside the witch's Hut something rushed through her a presence familiar she couldn't quite place it something long forgotten she tried to hold on to it but it was already gone inside a bright light Saga felt felt safe like nothing could hurt her here there were objects that stood out to Saga as if the light had manifested them pulled them from the darkness a shift in reality heavy with hidden meanings a coffee thermos a shoe box a mop and a bucket a poster on the wall and in the cabinet another manuscript page a poster on the wall you say I know Nightingale is somewhere around cauldron Lake the tree was a threshold this place and the dark place you're in over your head next stop aldera Street Station the threshold like a doorway leading to Nightingale it's somehow connected to a tree which is ladle okay I think I was supposed to do that before Caldera Street Station you say I still say that's in Noir York City personally okay let's head back up to Casey oh jeez I need some batteries so our uh batteries do not regen automatically it appears a dude ATI he just wants to have his V he's over in watery right now at his Hut just chilling and of course this The Witch's Hut Anderson thought I saw something in the woods I just saw just a deer but I'm going to check it out okay I found another page following up on a lead keep checking in Roger I think I missed some dialogue with him I think I was supposed to do that thing before I left him but it is what it is okay so we got a fuse box there let's check inside and then check fuse box the page described the Hut being lit and mentioned a fuse hey hold on guys sorry to interrupt um even though it's my day off I'm technically on call I got to take a work phone real quick one second for for your for all right sorry about that guys yeah I I'm technically a salaried employee so I don't really have hours meaning I got to pick stuff up long story short I'm in an gosh I'm trying to get some plans set out for a new Adu renovation and I'm working with an insurance company that's playing mess around with us right now but anyways sorry that has nothing to do with this and yeah no YouTube is not my main job far from it [Music] did I pick up a manuscript page just now I don't even [Music] remember uh yeah so I did speak uh to remedy regarding getting a review copy I chose not to get the review copy of this game though cuz I wanted to play it live with all you guys and I wouldn't be able to do that fuse I need to find one to turn on the lights so yeah I intentionally chose not to um get the review [Music] copy okay so I need to get a fuse why does it feel like Resident Evil right [Music] now this fuses busted [Music] great oh I've already read that yeah this one looks good people should really stop littering though oh it's left here just for us oh things changed after we turned the light on isn't that interesting the entire interior changed a break room and there's some little treats oh some coffee is our safe Point yes [Laughter] where's the poster in the mop right another page making progress I don't see the poster do you guys see a poster in the wall or the mop and this is brand spanking new coffee as well as some pastries oh my God I kind of want some pastries right now anyways guys so I am right here you hear that sound that is my coffee thermos for the O dear Diner that I have some tea freaking cool the mops on the outside gotcha I'm still looking for the poster in the wall maybe it's behind it the image of the witch in The Sign Saga addressed the witch the smudged line on the heart the second part recited from memory I brought you the heart witch show me the terror Saga pushed the heart through the hole in the sign oh that's disturbing Wich is Ladle towering over Saga watching her and the witch the image of the witch in the sign night and Gale's heart a cold dead lump in her hand her definition of Sanity had changed since she arrived in this town but she trusted the pages was forced to Saga addressed the witch she squinted to read the first part of the ritual words the smudged line on the heart the second part recited from memory the word she had read on the page I brought you the heart which show me the terror Saga pushed the heart through the whole sign this was the key the tree was the threshold the tree right there was a it seems like a different threshold than the one we know Murder at cauldron Lake yep already got the answers to these oh jeez wow she just like automatically threw all those down the page from the witches hut seems to be describing some kind of ritual yeah it's going to be a ritual where we throw find nill's heart and then throw it inside yes nightingale's heart disappeared from the morg where is it now luckily to get into the overlap I need to find nightingale's heart read the line imprinted on it plus the line on the page to the witch's Ladle sign then push the heart through the hole in the sign so this is like an example right here of exactly what Allan was talking about in American Nightmare where you make a few minor changes to match what's on the page and then the reality altering effects start to take effect so by guiding her in this ritual she's creating uh Allan's creating the ritual itself that alters reality it's freaking cool the heart I need nightingale's heart to get to the overlap where is it the cultist leaned close he was there but he was risen night Andale was there the opposite of sunspots who said that that's not it I don't have what I need to find nightingale's heart there must be more nightingale's heart where is it while they played cards in the General Store the witch had stolen his heart get out of my house nightingale's heart is at the General Store in a fridge why though the heart was sitting on the uh table where he was murdered and we saw it there when we investigated it how did it just up and vanish he's like you'd presume when they B they threw in a boggy bag a boggy bag a doggy bag yes no in a body bag to take him down to the morg they would have taken the heart with them so either a they just misplaced it or B reality altering decided to say you know what we're just going to take it mayor Setter won't roll over on issu use okay so this place is changing as we find stuff too my first ever prank on Casey a true classic yeah I'm thinking it's probably just reality altering that caused this I need to check the General Store for the heart Casey I'm headed to the General Store I think I know how to get into the overlap Roger that I followed some ATV tracks in the woods and got a bit turned around did you get lost I've only been lost once in my life Anderson the years I spent with my exwife I'll find my way back don't you worry about it okay so that means this [Music] Casey is not the same as the book Casey who had a dead wife and child unless it's a second wife okay so the rental cabins where's the General Store it's right ahead of us okay throw that salt over the shoulder for bad no bad luck dude I absolutely would do that I mean it can't H right okay so what I presumed uh I didn't mention this but remember down at the crime scene where they had a bunch of Amma uh bottles they were waiting around around drinking beer my presumption is that this is one of their was one of their hangout spots they basically robbed this place blind for all of the uh beer here and they're playing cards while they're waiting Christ there we go oh my L get out go out let's get out of the building so this is a ver this is going to be a taken of some kind done here yet a cultist a monster like Nightingale use a trauma pad to allow you to heal applying trauma pad takes a longer but grants larger health benefits handgun better so I got one trauma pad Logan's charm increases maximum health okay interesting yeah I'm good on health right now I think I'll survive I mean we can always go back to down to the witch's cabin to get some health in the light oh this is definitely feeling more like a survival horror oh we got a I guess it's an inventory upgrade okay check with Lady Fortuna at the counter okay we'll come to that in a second I guess we have the passcode up here somewhere don't forget to update code 723 lot of Auto Washington 0513 17 23 3945 maybe it's 723 I'm presuming they forgot to update it oh no it's going to be a numerical uh puzzle okay give me a second well they're saying they're somewhat taking but not taken at the same time so who knows 705 713 717 723 so there's a difference of eight between those four between those and then six between those do you guys see a pattern here oh wait wait 513 hold on 513 27 23 so next one is going to be 739 cuz they're updating it based upon the lottery numbers okay 7 23 got it beautiful oh Lordy we got a saw off okay okay so she's got a bit of a wind up for all that okay so it automatically refills when we empty out gotcha and there's his heart the text on the heart is clearer now legible the wave crashed on the far side of the mirror where did they say that we we read that somewhere last stream where did they say that the wave crashed on the far side of the mirror I'm trying to remember sounds literary but what does it mean okay so if we're talking about the mirror the only two mirrors that I'm aware of in the remedy well maybe not the only two mirrors but the primary two mirrors that we see is either one the Victorian mirr altered item um that's currently locked up in the oldest house research sector or the mirror that John went through when he believed John Mera took his life and that's going to be a dress unknown and that's going to be Noir York city so the wave being a symbol of the water being something about the remedy verse and the mirror I mean we could have the pink flamingo situated here oh the I guess yeah Mir Peak I technically would be a thing to Isaac maybe I'm just really desperate to have no York City make an appearance and all the stuff from address unknown become relevant maybe I'm just really desperate for that I'm not even sure you just ask how my voice sounds Alvin I don't know how does my voice sound like Alvin so we're just going to leave this here I feel like I recognize this the fridge the heart I knew it would be here like I saw it in a dream and now I need to give the heart to the witch makes total sense Saga edgs toward the broken door her gun ready flashlight aimed ahead Nightingale said it would be here The Cauldron Lake General Store was overgrown left to rot Saga thought about the cult of the tree they had been here waiting planning a gruesome ritual murder meanwhile they played cards in the General Store like it was just another late night poker game Saga stepped closer to the door had the animal broken it there was a loud crash Saga found herself face to face with a cultist a hulking figure in a raincoat we watch in the night wild eyes behind a plastic deer mask an axe in his raised hand okay so it looks like we do have some that are required manuscripts for the story and some that are different or some that are just um random ones but I noticed here over on the left this manuscript is return not initiation I'd be okay this is just a wild thought but I'm very interested to know found the heart in the fridge just like the page said I would if we find manuscript pages in Allen's side of the story is his going to be the the initiation uh manuscript and the reason I'm asking is because I'm wondering if Allen's part of the story is initiation and sest part of the story is return because if we're to look at the hero's journey when we get to the point after the uh hero confronts the dragon or whatever it happens to be there's technically three methods of Escape there's the flight which is going to be stuff like the story of um like uh Izanagi for example when he went down to try to reclaim his wife and he was Rush he had to run out after witnessing your true form um there's the free pass through the threshold the return threshold but there's also a third one where the hero cannot escape the other world without outside assistance the rescue from without so I'm curious if we're doing the return manuscript and it's Saga who's going to be the one who's essentially the rescue from without in that form of the hero's journey hey there Andre thank you so much for the chat premise to control the darkness for control reality but only is possible by writing horror stories so is intriguing to me and how you can get a happy ending in a horror story excuses for the donation I mean like I don't think it necessarily has to be a horror story but that's just I I'd guess the dark presence kind of pushes it in those directions like I know Allan had talked about in the past during an interview that the genre of the story doesn't really matter too much to him it's more about um like the narrative and the themes and stuff of that nature yeah and technically max pain is part of the remedy connected universe but it's not official yet but we're also the max pain one and two remakes that they're working on which is probably going to make it more official but I I would say it's not part of the Prime remedy Universe which alen W and control exist in it's complicated that's all I guess that's about it but the cola you're littleit hey Ernesto but the Kavala was inspiration for some of tolken Works he even made a book with it there's a band called amorphus which makes a lot of songs based upon the CLL oh interesting I'll have to definitely check that out Casey they're a cultists in the area they're taken like nighting gale watch yourself out there yeah thanks for the heads up I'm still finding my way back you have the worst sense of direction any city in America I can get through drunk and blindfolded it's these damn trees okay okay I'm on route to Witch is Ladle I need to perform a ritual to open the overlap this case just keeps getting weirder but it is exciting okay let's go to the Hut real quick I don't think this this game is going to let you heal in light anymore so we're going to have to use those pads to heal they're talking so normally yeah right oh boy so we technically have these flood lights now it's this H behind the [ __ ] it's already too late jeez they're freaking ammo spes now keep moving they are definitely Amo then again I am playing in hard difficulty so they're going to take more shots than the otherwise would all right Baba Yaga let's do this hello [Music] Barbara the wave crashed on the far side of the mirror I brought you the heart witch show me the terror here's what you asked for oh no no no red no I don't no no no no no no why is it red me the his has come exactly that's what I'm thinking what is the his doing here oh dear that's not good kiss you are a worm through time the ther stong distorts you are you still on your way Casey Casey do you read me I'm sorry you're no longer okay Saga going in Solo you're no longer in reality anymore we're not in Kansas anymore sweetheart [ __ ] actually you want to know how to get out of this place you flip your coat inside out and put it back on what the [ __ ] was that Logan's back in Virginia you're imagining things wait what did I miss something did we see her I think I was looking the wrong way and missed it no I didn't hear the scream oh dear did the tree just close up behind us and a new tree opened up oh oh boy that's not [Music] good would you please help me what was that the words of a drowning man did I get turned around yes no this is right this place is looping like a nightmare need to find Nightingale thank you for that uh zenis going to the my place does not POS PA the game okay so dialogue will play regardless which is Ladle towering over Saga we already listen to that watching her and the witch they return one invitation Nightingale enters the lake the riter went into the lake banished the dark presence taken still lurked in the woods the dark place receded the current pulled back those with Darkness inside into the lake Nightingale was there one of them the dark presence Jagger had taken him the witch had stolen his heart they sank beneath the waves the dark place wandering in the shadows muttering to themselves it's dark I'm lost where am I who am I I I can't remember it's cold premium cabins for rant in bright Falls who said that can you hear me Rusty I need help please stop this what did I do you must dig it out their shape shifted Echoes of the writer's dreams fading in fading out the next story and the story after that the writer was writing again yeah premium Camas for rent brightfalls rusty said that after he was taken oh you know 100% Sonic Al like I fully expect Allen to need Decades of therapy after we're done with this if he ever gets out but it seems like all those that were taken he found in the lake oh God Caldera Street Station I know that street oh god Odin your Ravens are hanging out here and I don't appreciate it oh my God look at those trees oh oh oh oh hi hi okay it's gone now this is really [Applause] claustrophobic he's here Nightingale okay let's not go that direction let's go the other path it's really hard to tell what isn't is not the path here I think it's trying to get us lost in here what do you mean how do I know who is um who Willis oh hey there yellow bat welcome back on in yeah we made it over here we had some tech issues at the start so we had to restart at the uh the game a little bit escap danger who is that it's like they're coming in over a bad signal does anyone else feel like this is very similar to how hotline Visions come in except you don't need the hotline for this to work you just finished uh the second chapter a little bit ago gotcha yeah it feels just like hotline calls like she's intuitively getting them oh God I see the street again it's starting to fade in you're thinking the exact same thing Haron or Haron I mean again Saga is named after a sear I got us that nighting Gill's patch oh technically a guardian of stories and the gods can I take it with me oh Nightingale yeah we know it's Nightingale though kind of sort of behind the waterfall cuz you know no we can't go behind the waterfall never mind to find the light switch show me the clicker the clicker why is night Andale looking for the clicker I'm guessing uh kolon that yeah the chest might be the um weak spot but the ability we got showed head shot as a stagger point so who knows oh God we're in oh oh God oh God we're going into the subway way channels we are in the subway no we're not maybe we are that's not oh that's not good night Andale Hunted socer oh ow I did Dodge thank you [Laughter] Game I couldn't even get back up okay let's start off with healing wow yeah first death that was quick yeah we're on hard mode night Andale suer the rer was liing again go just freaking run just freaking run and a tornado oh my God I'm dying I'm dying what's happening what's going on oh my Lord what the what's going on it told me to run toward towards it wow okay night Andale hunted socer get over here Dash there we go oh shoot of Darkness get away oh she said get away not run towards it go my bad I need to run run run run run run I thought I was trying to like beat that guy and bum rush it shows how much I pay attention I don't like you on reload okay I need to actually Dodge this time how' I dodge that okay the W this is really not good is it [Music] waide waiting can't see anything I can't see anything oh God my game what is my game doing where is he can't see him there he is come on dodging does [Music] nothing there we go who are you what is this who are you you hear me I'm Saga Anderson FBI I can hear you cauldron Lake yes I'm at cauldron Lake where are you how you escape in danger the dark Pres [Music] danger thanks got it hey oh dear who just came [Music] up are you okay no it's my fault it got out with my face scratch sir calm down scratch is still a thing I'm going to need you to take a breath he's he's changed the story The Dark presence we must stop it before easy now first things first what's your name my name is alen Wake I'm a writer I I've been wake where did you come from you've been missing for 13 years [Music] 13 oh is it really him though is it really [Music] him so he's implying that freaking scratch adjusted how this page this story supposed to [Music] go again I was you did you hear me I lost my lost my way yeah well of course scratch is changing like would turn it into a Horror Story cuz that's his whole thing but scratch's writing style is very different from allence in terms of how he does things I mean American Nightmare is an example of [Music] that so is Saga talking like in that vision is she talking to scratch or [Music] Al [Music] [Music] I can see [Music] myself you know I'm going to have to get the entire soundtrack at this point I will never leave again I'm by your side [Music] I think it's interesting that if we're going to have anyone that's going to take the role of the resue from without he's picking Allan picks someone who has sensitivities and can pick up on it kind of like how he when he reached out to Jesse because of uhis at the hotline he with her it seems like s can do that without [Music] so scratch is at least the information we have is various things it could be a few different [Music] things I mean like yeah some people say that scratch is the ultra ego um personally there's also him calling him the herald of darkness which I know that there's a song in this game called Herald of talking about the herald so there's a thing there but on top of that the the what they say about scratch in American Nightmare is that he is the urban legend surrounding Allen so after his disappearance all these stor st came out about Allan about how he was secretly a serial killer about how he was this and all these the Dark Twisted Half Baked tabloid stories that were told about Allen manifested itself as Mr scratch so it's kind of like a tulpa that was manufactured out of the darkness based upon the false stories told about the man yeah and he was supposed to been stalking Alice um back in what 2018 2019 cuz I think she was there in or middle of 2019 after uh scratch started stalking her John Mera well yeah we don't John Mera is a completely separate story their TNT all right let's get through the opening thing and then we're going to end off this stream I'm going to go have a lunch lunch break and then we'll be back in a few hours but let's at least get to us this little next save point here Anders where did you go all of a sudden the radio stopped working and then that flooding just disappeared crazy Forest he doesn't see him does he is this oh no he does who I think it is Casey say hello to Alan Wake oh sorry yell bat 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 receded there might be evidence we missed earlier okay see you there okay and we're going to end it right here like right the hell there we're going to end it off and um we're going to when I go to restart the game it'll Replay that cut scene right there all right guys we are done for right now I'm going to go grab some lunch I will be back in a few hours and we will move on to chapter 3 who knows we may get through four chapters today it just depends on how quickly we get through them I will be taking a little break in between each one but each individual stream is going to be um a individual chapter just to make this nice and easy so I found out there's a new Mediterranean place around the corner from my house I'm going to go try that because I love Greek food anyways guys take it easy thank you all for hanging out and we'll get more to Allan Wake 2 shortly
