** {{spoiler|"Find the lady of the light, gone mad with the night..."}}
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]:
** Barry, for his constant pop culture references from ''[[Zork]]'' to [[The Lord of the Rings|Mordor]] and for [[Took a Level Inin Badass|taking a couple of levels in badass]] from Episode 4 onwards. He's also liked because he gives Alan some [[Pet the Dog]] Moments. Once Alan starts snarking back and forth with Barry you realize, hey, Alan's not just a mopey [[Jerkass]]. He's got a sense of humour!
** [[Word of God|Remedy]] has stated that they like Agent Nightingale's character and would like to explore his mysterious backstory further.
* [[Goddamned Bats|Goddamned Crows]]:
Line 59:
** Quite a few people dislike Barry for being annoying and trying to be plucky comic relief in what is otherwise a very dark game.
*** According to the manuscript, Barry thinks of himself in one scene as [[The Hero]]. Or at least ''a'' hero. Also, making jokes is and actually one of the healthier reactions to a crisis, as long as it's still being taken seriously.
** Agent Nightingale, though Remedy may have special plans for him [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap|in a possible sequel]].
* [[Smug Snake]]: Dr. Emil Hartman attempted to convince Alan that he is one of his patients in order to get him to continue writing the manuscript. Alan distrusted him from the get-go, so he never had a chance.
* [[Survival Horror]]: Though given one discussion over at Gamasutra, your mileage may vary on whether Alan Wake is survival horror or whether it would be better to call it a psychological thriller. The distinction being along the lines of Halloween versus The Shining. In some ways, Alan Wake is best played like ''[[System Shock]] 2'' or ''[[BioShock (series)]]'' rather than ''[[Max Payne (series)|Max Payne]]'' [[Recycled in Space|in the woods]].
