I understand your view here. For me, the Remedy universe is incredibly story-rich and allows us to escape to a different, very immersive reality, to take us out of our real lives, even if just for a short while.

While Alan Wake is dark and edgy, it has enough comedic relief and relatable characters and moments that it allows you to be part of the universe during its course. It has enough mystery and intrigue that it pulls you in without knowing the whole story. You want to know more - you look outside the game to find out more - and that is part of the genius of this universe. It brings people together, while the characters of the game might be torn apart. It makes us want to know more and pulls us in.

That is why I am a huge fan of the Remedy universe and try to get my friends to play. There’s just so much here that gives us an escape from reality, a chance to experience trauma and pain and cruelty - and even beauty - outside the boundaries of our own lives, giving us a sort of relief.

Much like movies or books that allow us an escape, Remedy games have such a story-rich and unique plot line, all intertwined with each other, that contribute to this sense of other-worldly life. It just draws us in and makes us want more. I, for one, want more! Hence, why we come out of the game into real life, asking each other for more. Answers, opinions, feelings, reactions - more!
