I continued with Episode 3 of Alan Wake today. I took quite a few photos, as the free cam mode i feel like really let me explore the game. The primary screenshot i picked was of the FBI helicopter, as with the freecam i felt like it allowed me to get an up close angle of the helicopter i wouldn’t normally see.
I thought this menu was a neat attention to detail, as in episode 1, Carl Stucky mentions this is one of his voice lines. Specifically, this one:
“Paul makes the best hot dogs in the state! Belly Buster is the best no contest. Monster dog… is second best”.
I think it’s cool that this attention to detail was added. I find it fascinating that i’m finding new things like this even so many playthroughs in.
spoiler
it’s also cool because Paul is also the guy at start of Episode 3 that shows you to roses trailer
I also took a screenshot of Pat Maine, as during my playthrough i remembered why he’s one of my favorite characters. I find him very fun to listen to on his radio show, and i’m hoping he appears in the sequel.
This screenshot i discovered that the Freecam is buggy while i was exploring out of bounds with it. when i returned to Alan he clipped through the ground and fell into the void and died. I thought it was funny and grabbed a screenshot right before i fell into the void.
While wandering around in the daytime i also stumbled across this chair in the woods sitting on a cliff. It had a thermos in it, but the placement of it felt very abstract to me. I’m almost wondering if it’s a reference to something, but if it is, then it escapes me.

Is the chair a reference to the floating sofa in Life, The Universe and Everything? It feels very tenuous, but that’s all I can think of.
Maybe? Let me catch it and see if it takes me to Lord’s Cricket Grounds
