I couldn't think of a better theme for Alan Wake 1 than Diver's Isle. This was an incredibly fun set to make. Also I just love the first game outfit.

This song still lives rent free in my head, and the entire section of Alan Wake II that it runs through will go down as one of my favourite ‘wtf?’ moments in all of gaming. I especially love @samlakewrites.bsky.social just having what appears to be the time of his life.

"Hmph," Casey thought as he found himself in the woods again. This dream had become all too familiar. Lost in the woods with no coffee in sight, he ran & wondered if he'd ever find his way out.
