Today's game is Alan Wake ~~again~~.

This screenshot i took was in the Subway while making my way back to the Collapsed Train Tunnel. This game really has upped the fear factor. Personally i love the first game's controls more, but this game has a way of constantly keeping me on the edge of my seat. I love it.

The game has a ton of clever references to the first game. For example there’s the shoebox where i can store items, which is a really awesome reference to Zane's shoe box in the first game.

I took a bonus screenshot while Alan was running away and my game bugged out. I don't think he realized the rest of the Subway car was gone already:

It's such a luxury to be able to play video games 100+ days in a row. I'm lucky to get a couple hours one day every fortnight

I’m very appreciative of my free time I have right now. Especially knowing that there will be a day when I won’t have it anymore

Back to the first one? Or is it still Alan Wake 2?

Haven't played either yet, so skip rest of the text after reading the game name, so don't know if you mentioned the detail in the text.

It’s still the second one. I’m replaying it because of some stuff they added for post game after an update

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Ah, cool. Have fun!

I really like how today's commentary mirrors what you're doing by starting the final draft. Deja-vu.

Hmmm. Deja-vu indeed ~~thank you. I’m very proud for coming up with that. I was honestly a bit worried people would miss it~~
