"Stephen King once wrote that 'Nightmares exist outside of logic, and there's little fun to be had in explanations; they're antithetical to the poetry of fear.'
In a horror story, the victim keeps asking 'why?' But there can be no explanation, and there shouldn't be one. The unanswered mystery is what stays with us the longest, and it's what we'll remember in the end. My name is Alan Wake, I'm a writer."
Yllä kuvatulla tavalla alkaa kotimaisen Remedyn peli Alan Wake vuodelta 2010. Kirjailija Stephen King ei halunnut tehdä Remedyn oloa hankalaksi. Asia paljastui Eurogamerin haastattelussa. Sami Järvi paljasti, että King vaati kokonaisen yhden dollarin korvaukseksi itsensä lainaamisesta.
"Creating the original Alan Wake, I really, really desperately wanted a quote from him to start it off. It's my understanding he wanted $1 for us to get the rights to use it. [It was] so very generous."
Jatko-osa Alan Wake 2 julkaistaan 17. lokakuuta PC:lle, Playstation 5:lle ja Xbox Series X:lle (ja S:lle).
