Alan Wake 2 has a creepy detail that makes sure you\u2019re always being watched Remedy EntertainmentAn eagle-eyed Alan Wake 2 player noticed an eerie detail when closely watching the owl in the Writer\u2019s Room. Alan Wake 2 follows two lead characters \u2013 the eponymous novelist and FBI profiler Saga Anderson. Saga\u2019s section of the game features a Mind Place, a Mind Palace-like scenario that allows players to pin clues to a case board, upgrade their weapons, and more. The Alan portion includes a similar setup, a Writer\u2019s Room wherein the author works through plot points in the story he\u2019s fabricating. Notably, the Writer\u2019s Room is an attic-turned-office with minimal decor. But one significant object hangs on the wall behind Alan\u2019s desk \u2013 an ornate owl figure. Interestingly enough, it seems there\u2019s more than meets the eye with respect to the owl-shaped wall art. The Writer\u2019s Room in Alan Wake 2 is much creepier than it looks When inside the Writer\u2019s Room, players have the ability to walk around the space. Viewing the Plot Board constitutes a key mechanic and the area\u2019s main purpose. Upgrading weapons, listening to songs, and rewatching collected videos serve as a few other options. It may seem like a private space for Alan to get his bearings, but one player noticed that someone\u2026 or something is always watching. Twitter\/X user shkegulka pointed this out in a gameplay clip that shows the owl figure behind Alan\u2019s desk actually keeping tabs on his movements. If Alan walks to the right, the owl\u2019s head and eyes follow accordingly. What\u2019s especially unsettling is that the owl only does this if Alan isn\u2019t looking at it. If the writer moves around the desk while looking up at the owl, the creature\u2019s gaze stays fixed to a single spot off-screen. As soon as Alan looks away, though, the bird instantly shoots a glare in his direction. The Writer\u2019s Room in Alan Wake 2 suddenly doesn\u2019t feel like much of a safe space anymore. Who or what the watching owl may represent currently remains a mystery. But it\u2019s possible this detail and other unanswered questions in the sequel will receive some sort of an explanation sooner rather than later. Remedy has already confirmed its extensive post-launch plans for the title, which include free updates for Photo Mode and New Game Plus. The developer also intends to release two paid expansions in 2024 \u2013 Night Springs and The Lake House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
