seeing all the references and notes further explaining the original events of AW1 in this game actually made me slightly more interested in Alan Wake's story as a whole. thank god they only brought back the darkness puddles and not actual darkness covered enemies because that would make this so much worse. glad they kept it as just normal hiss. sadly, this giant area is just to follow around one boss and ended with a bunch of questions, which will be answered from what I've read, and a teaser for Alan Wake 2.
