Line 8:
** The final boss of The Signal can be dispatched with a few flare gun shots and boosting the flashlight for about 15 seconds or so. There's a reason one of the achievements requires you to beat it in a minute and a half. The final boss of The Writer is legitimately difficult, though certainly not in [[That One Boss]] territory.
* [[Badass Decay]]: When the kidnapper, Mott, is introduced, he kills multiple Taken in quick succession, and is quick to display that [[Genre Savvy|he knows how to effectively defeat them]]. Later, he's {{spoiler|effectively killed offscreen. But then again, he was confronted by the [[Eldritch Abomination|main host of the Darkness]], so he was rather outclassed.}}
* [[Non Sequitur Scene]]: In ''American Nightmare'', during your final trip to the observatory, you fight a horde of Taken while "Balance Slays the Demon" plays seemingly from nowhere. Does Rachel [[Source Music|play it for you over the intercom]]? Is Alan hearing it in his head because [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|he enjoyed the Children of The Elder God fight more than he let on]]? Or perhaps it's [[Fridge Brilliance|part of the soundtrack to the episode of Night Springs he is living]]?▼
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Alan defeats the Dark Presence and saves Alice, but at a price. {{spoiler|He is stuck under the lake writing to appease the darkness... for now}}.
* [[Breather Level]]: There are several places in the game, albeit brief ones, where Alan moves about during daylight. These sections are safe, allowing the player to relax a little while some exposition goes on, and occasionally enjoy some [[Scenery Porn]] of the local environment.
Line 53 ⟶ 52:
** But then another shouts "It's rabbit season!" to which you reply, "No it's duck season!" and blow his beak off with a hunting rifle.
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: The Taken are basically Zombie (unliving shells of the people they were) Demon (possessed by the DP) Vampires (supernatural durability, aversion to light, only come out at night).

* [[Paranoia Fuel]]:
** Pulled straight from the pages of ''[[In the Mouth of Madness]]'', anyone within Bright Falls might exist only as a character in Alan Wake's manuscript and can be [[Anyone Can Die|killed off for the sake of its plot]]. Or worse, be touched by the Dark Presence and forced to do its bidding.
