Surprisingly, my problem with Alan Wake 2 so far is that it’s not on enough levels of postmodernism. Hell, it’s not even in the eighteenth century—I’m pretty sure these writers wouldn’t be able to come up with The Sphinx. They just know how to be self-referential about horror, noir, and writers with inflated egos, not how to take the pieces of a story apart and build something new with them.

To give an example of what I’m looking for, there’s a game where the secret ending has you rewrite the story so that the villain is a tragic hero, forcing him to die to fit tragedy tropes. I’m pretty sure Alan Wake 2 isn’t gonna be that smart.
