I’ve just noticed that next to the elevator timer in Firebreak are the phases of the moon. Is it possible that the length of time you’re given is in part determined by the IRL moon? #RemedyEntertainment #ControlRemedy #fbcFirebreak

The Cynthia Weaver cardboard cut-out is where you can find one of few references to the Bright Falls series. Ellen Adams was a pupil of Cynthia’s, explaining why she knew enough to tell Jake he needed to leave.
It’s unfortunate that this wasn’t enough to save either of them.

In Alan Wake 2, an explanation is given for the name of Mirror Peak. The mountain is reflected in the water, creating an inverted pyramid shape. This brings to mind the inverted pyramid representing The Board. What could this be implying?

The flashlight stun is vital to survival in the original Alan Wake but isn’t taken advantage of much by most players. Here’s how to consistently stun enemies to distance yourself from them!

A common struggle for new Alan Wake players is his pitiful stamina! Here’s a simple exploit that refills your stamina much faster than normal if you find yourself having trouble managing it!

Did you know that the downed wires in Alan Wake are actually a powerful environmental weapon? Here’s a little demonstration with the Rusty boss fight on Nightmare mode!

The Adversary from Death Rally. They may have no characterization outside of their apparent brutality in races, but they’re worth mentioning as they serve as Remedy’s base example for the recurring theme of battling your shadow self/someone who acts as your shadow. #DeathRally #RemedyEntertainment

Alan’s half of Alan Wake 2 is a direct reference to Max Payne’s Address Unknown.
In the show, the lead explores an ever shifting nightmare version of New York in search of his murderous doppelgänger, who is threatening his girlfriend. #MaxPayne #AlanWake #RemedyEntertainment

One of the first things we hear the Flamingo say in Max Payne is “Mirrors are More Fun than Television”, and indeed this is your hint that the shows in Max Payne 2 aren’t just fun stuff to watch.
They’re mirrors. Direct parallels to the game’s main plot. #MaxPayne #RemedyEntertainment

Max’s time in Cold Steel is meant to represent a descent into the underworld, into Nicole Horne’s domain. This is highlighted by a short cart ride through an inferno. This evokes the image of crossing the river Styx. #MaxPayne #RemedyEntertainment

I really like the section in The Secret History of Time Travel about optional environmental content like this. I highly recommend looking around very carefully in all their games! This whole account is for doing just that. #QuantumBreak #RemedyEntertainment

As far as I can tell (and I’d love to be proven wrong) American Nightmare is the only game since Max Payne not to have a 665/667 Easter egg. However, you can sorta pretend there is one on the Observatory map. #AlanWake

This is one that’s extremely easy to miss. When you enter gameplay at the start of Quantum Break you can immediately turn around and find Hatch. You can exchange a few words, and when you walk away he vanishes.
