Line 63:
** 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 is seen by quite a few for being an especially obnoxious and [[Trigger Happy]] [[Inspector Javert]], though Remedy may have special plans for him [[Rescued from 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]].
