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 never stops asking “why?” But there can be no explanation, and there should not be one. The unanswered mystery is what stays with us the longest, and it’s what we’ll remember at the end. My name is Alan Wake, I am a writer.”
This is the first thing Alan Wake says in his 2010 titular game, but using a quote from a famous author like Stephen King isn’t always easy. Or cheap, for that matter. Fortunately, the King of Horror is known as a truly kind and generous person, and he had no intention of making things difficult for Remedy. Instead, he let them use the quote for free. Almost, at least.
This was revealed in an interview on Eurogamer where Remedy’s boss, Sam Lake, reveals:
“In creating the original Alan Wake, I really, really desperately wanted a quote from him to start with. I understand that he wanted $1 for us to get the rights to use it. [It was] so generous.”
A very nice touch. It remains to be seen if there will be any King-related content in Alan Wake 2. Alan Wake 2 will be released on October 18th on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X.
