I was watching the tv, and sorta of thought that something went by the window, what confirmed it was that I saw the leaves on the bush falling. Thought for a second that the wind was blowing the leaves off, but then when I went outside to check I noticed the leaves only came off when I walked through it. Then I started getting really spooked. Love moments like this. Especially when they don't try to have something jump out immediately.

Alan and Alice to get a happy ending.

I'm not sure I get it either, but my thought was that he rewrote the ending to save Alice, but it somehow cost him his own life or self. Didn't the light in the diving suit say something about, "Don't mind him. He'll replace you to all of your friends." Maybe a fake proxy of sorts?

Based on that short teaser perhaps in the sequel (or will it just be DLC?) Alan will have to work his way through this other world to get himself free? I wouldn't mind if you were playing Alice to try and find him, but I suppose you have to stick with playing Alan.

One point throughout the game I was confused about was everything said 1970 and that was the year the volcano went off and sunk the cabin. For a while I was thinking the story was actually the other writer in the 70s and 'Alan Wake' was just made up. However, everybody was driving around Fords with Verizon billboards which represent present day.

there is some speculation - i do not recall where i read it - that tom zane is alan's father. alan never knew his father, and the "clicker" was a gift from his mom previously belonging to his father. tom apparently wrote about the clicker in his novelization. also alan is called "tom" in the diner near the start of the game.
