If we forget previous posts, the pic where you are putting mace on Cable’s bed, but you are alone, gives the feeling that there is no Cable. Just a lonely man in apocalyptic world, making imaginary friends so that he can keep going.

Harvested all the eggs? Not going to increase their population?

Then again. I have some friends who are absolutely terrified of resource management in horror games

That’s me! It’s one thing if you have enough bullets to shoot anything that moves, but if you can’t even fight back properly, that’s a completely another level of horror.

Not sure how much they had already planned when the base game is made, but there’s a Control DLC linking it to Alan Wake 2, so they must have some ideas. I even played that DLC before playing Alan Wake, and that is what actually interested me in the game. As someone who runs away from all horror games I wasn’t planning to play Alan Wake before playing that DLC.

Publisher makes money from exclusivity deal, and the subscription makes money because of exclusive content.

Whether that money is worth it or not is a different maths though.

I played Control before Alan Wake, so didn’t get any of the reference that you mentioned. I don’t replay games much (except few exceptions, like Skyrim) but Control was really fun, might be interesting to play it again before Alan Wake 2.

Since it’s Lemmy, might be a good idea to add an AI usage disclaimer, whether you use it or not, just explicitly mention it.
