A Play in Three Acts
ACT I
Setting: A Discord Server
Many People Over the Years: DC, you love Twin Peaks, you should play Alan Wake. It's inspired by Twin Peaks.
Me: Oh wow, sounds cool. I'll check it out. I liked Control but it didn't blow me away.
Many People: Just be aware that the gameplay/combat sucks.
Me: I don't care! How bad can it be? I love Twin Peaks! It has a diner in the opening segment! It's about a writer! How bad can it be?
ACT II
Setting: The First Several Hours of Alan Wake: Remastered
Me: Oh wow, I'm pretty sure my grandma can sprint longer than this guy. How did they go from Max Payne to this? Like...I know he's a writer but still..
Me: Doesn't matter! Hallucinations, fake Mrs. Tremond, a book mystery, a wife mystery! This is great! I'll just turn the game down to easy so I can get through the bad parts faster!
ACT III
Setting: Despair. A lone chair on stage while a disheveled man forces himself through a video game out of spite.
Me, quietly sobbing to my controller: please...make it stop. I never want to see a flashlight ever again.
The lights dim and go out leaving the stage in blackness.
Me, a low, trembling whisper: How did they go from Max Payne to this?
