"I've driven down this road before,
I'm driving on it forever."
AW2 is narratives on top of narratives that reference other narratives about people writing narratives to alter their narrative. If clear beginnings and ends are what you're looking for, this isn't the story for you. It is "Death of the Author" in videogame format, whatever you believe the core narrative of the game is, that is what it is. And this isn't some copout by Sam Lake and his writers room to avoid writing a cohesive story, every character of every story within this story is motivated by trying to comprehend another story. It's great, it's a horror story, and a thriller, and a retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice, and a crime drama...and a musical. Going to go down as one of the most meta pieces of fiction, ever.
