Hello everyone!

I'm Oscar, completely new to the game but not new to DWRP (took a very long vacation from it for RL reasons) - Vin is my partner and Bri is one of my very good friends so I learned of the game through them!

I'm bringing Alan Wake, a man who has been in All Three Games in the Remedy Connected Universe: Alan Wake, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, and Control. His canon point is from after the events of the AWE DLC for Control which explores the Federal Bureau of Control's involvement with the aftermath of the Alan Wake game's plot (dubbed in canon as the Bright Falls AWE). [jerry seinfeld voice:] But whaaat's the deeeal with Alan?



Alan Wake is/was a bestselling author of a crime fiction novel series about a detective that is a nod to Remedy's other franchise Max Payne and its titular protagonist. After wrapping up the series with a novel that kills off the main character, Alan goes into a deep two-year writer's block and goes on vacation with his wife, Alice Wake, to a small town in the PNW. This goes horribly wrong shortly after their arrival due to the fact that the lake is a doorway to another dimension ruled by an evil entity made of darkness that wants to cross over into Alan's world. On his journey to save his wife from The Dark Place, as he calls it, he trades his own life for hers in the end and has been trapped there for ten years. Alan Wake's American Nightmare is a little vignette of one of his escape attempts that takes place roughly two years after his initial "disappearance" into The Dark Place. His involvement in Control shows that one of the trans-dimensional locations in the game connects The Dark Place to The Oldest House (the main setting in Control), and that he is still trying to escape - and may have figured out a way. (We won't know for certain until it comes up in a future Remedy Entertainment project, though.)

Also he can't run more than 3 meters without becoming completely winded, hence the post title.

And living with Alan's feral doppelganger but YOU KNOW. Other than that. They're gonna be SO HAPPY. (Sorry Alan she might be sticking close for a while. Afraid you might disappear again.)

I've been meaning to play this game for awhile, it sounds so good. I have it on Steam, I just haven't given it a try yet. But I know enough people that are into the canon to be excited about this! Welcome.
