Everything New Added In The Lake House DLC For Alan Wake 2

The Lake House DLC marks the end of the road for Remedy's survival horror masterpiece, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Alan Wake 2. This DLC doesn't hold back when it comes to reigning in that pure terror and dread Alan Wake 2 was so masterful﷽ at crea🦩ting. You'll genuinely be left in awe at how sinister and scary the environments can get, topping all the rest that have been established in the main game.

Like the Night Springs DLC, the second and final expansion for Alan Wake 2 (also referred to as the 'Return Addendum') does things very differently from the main game. Be prepared for a lot of surprises, including new music, eerie new gameplay experiences, and new narrative connections to tౠhe shared universes of Control and Alan Wake.

10 🌠 New Playab⛦le Protagonist - Kiran Estevez

While you were hoping to explore 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the long-awaited Lake House location as FBI Agent Saga Anderson, you'll instead be playing as the FBC-jacketed Kiran Estevez, who's recounting all the troubling events that occurred there to Saga. The Lake House literally turns into a paranatural house of horrors,🥀 and Agent Kiran Estevez will keep her composure throughout and act as if everything is just another day at the office (u𝕴nlike yourself).

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Voiced by Janina Gavankar, Agent Estevez made her official debut midway through Alan Wake 2's campaign, where she helped capture the Koskelas and Alan and then joined the fight to stop Scratch. ♚She doesn't have special ab🧔ilities like Saga or Alan, so there's no Mind Place or Writer's Room-style menu to store and revisit manuscripts and other narrative audio you come across, which is a tad inconvenient.

9 Terrifying 'Painted' Enemies And A New Boss Fight

The enemies in Alan Wake 2 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:are pretty grotesque and frightening, especially Nightingale🦂's boss form, Taken Divers in later chapters, and the Shadow figures that can camouflage as Taken in the Dark Place. Believe it or not, those🔯 are still nothing compared to the new nightmare fuel The Lake House DLC has in store.

Here, you have encounters with what are called 'The Painted,' monstrous 🍌entities that camouflage into paint-splattered canvases and can emerge from all around you, often unexpectedly. They're tall, creepy brutes that will leave you truly disturbed and unsett✱led in claustrophobic spaces.

Then, there are also the new main enemies for this DLC, which are the heads of research at the facility - Dr. Jules Marmont and his wife, Dr. Diana Marmont, with the latter character becom𒁃ing thꦿe final boss, similar in design to Cynthia Weaver.

8 ꦬ A New ꦛFBC Weapon

While Agent Estevez begins her journey in the Lake House DLC 🌳with only a standard pistol and then l🃏ater a shotgun, much like Saga Anderson, a new weapon was introduced that was created by the Federal Bureau of Control. It's known as the Black Rock Launcher, and it will take some story progression before you can finally unlock it and defend yourself against Painte🀅d, as it's the only thing that can eliminate them.

The weapon is basically the FBC's paranatural grenade launcher. It takes some winding up before it can fire its powerful charge of Black Rock material, which makes the combat even more intense and suspenseful by allowing Painted enemies to get closer and closer to you. Ammo for it is also scarcer unless you toggle the 'Infinite Ammo' assist option from the settings (cꦇourtesy of the Anniversary Update), so you really need to make each shot count.

7 𒁏 More Control-Style Gameplay

The game design for The Lake House DLC is probably best described as a marriage of Alan W🎃ake 2 and Control. The horror atmosphere, lighting, and sound design, especially the foreboding score from Petri Alanko that plays consistently throughout, creates unbelievable tension. There's still an Overlap loop level design going on, Darkness nodes that need to be cleared, and Taken still have the same combat mechanics.

The key gameplay elements borrowed from Control are obtaining security clearance cards to open doors and moving around power cores; plus, areas are designed to mimic Control's Oldest House, especially the disorienting mazelike designs of Sublevel 1 and Sublevel 4's Archives, with elevators being used to naviga🍷te each floor. But there are no Control Points to create fast travel spots within the facility, and no Ahti.

Additionally, you still get live-action videos from the main FBC scientists (even from Darling), Estevez's communication with the Painting is like talking to The Board, shelters serve as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:your Break Room save points, light switch cords work the same, and finding new Alan Wake manus𝔍cripts and redacted FBC documents is precisely like you'd see in Control.

Whe🐲n disc🐲ussing The Lake House DLC , game director Kyle Rowley stated that "we’re bringing a lot of the world of Control through that exploration content."

6 Neಞw FBC Lore And Connections To Existing Characters From The Alan Wake Series

The Lake House puts you inside a new FBC facility, so narrative content related to the federal paranatural organization is to be expected, but there are still some surprising new twists that come with it. You get more insight into 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Alan Wake's parautilitarian status, new Obj💫ects of Power, as well as the test subjects used in the Lake House's Project Arbutus and Project Rhamnus experiments.

Alan Wake 2: Every ♏Returning Character From The Original And Control

Which familiar charac🎉ters from Bright Falls and the Oldest House in ♒Control are showing their faces in Alan Wake 2?

Posts 168澳洲幸运5开奖网: 🍷

One of the s🦩ubjects you find is Ed Booker, the husband of true crime novelist Tammy Booker, both in Bright Falls to write a story on Wake. It's revealed Ed was abducted by the FBC before the start of Alan Wake 2 and forced to write from his cell in the Lake House lab for Arbutus, given he's a playwright. The other familiar character at the Lake House is painter Rudolf Lane, first seen in the original Alan Wake game, and the story focuses on what became of him.

5 🐓 More Simplistic Puzzle Codꩲes

There were lots of complicated puzzles in Alan Wake 2, whether it be the Nurs༺ery Rhymes or the codes for the Cult Stashes, safes, room padlocks, and often a computer. There won't be any of that in The Lake House DLC except for gaining computer access, but even that gets much more simplified. There are really only two places where you have to do a bit of thinking to figure out the c😼ode.

The first one is on the ground level in Dr. Jules Marmont's office, so you can override the elevator, and the other one is in Sublevel 2 to override the lockdown. The rest are pretty much given to you directly 💫o𒅌n post-it notes to make it look like the FBC employees using those computers became lazy at creating and keeping track of their passwords after receiving constant emails about having to change them, with one even being just '123456.'

Accessing all the co🌜mputers will also grant you the 'Hard Work' achievement.

4 ♛ ♏ Story Information Becomes Part Of The Map

A returning m🅷echanic from the original Alan Wake 2 is c♒ollecting maps to update the areas you're in and their points of interest. You have a floor-by-floor blueprint layout of the FBC's Lake House, and the UI largely stays the same. The key difference is that there's additional writing and scribbles all over the map, much to the tune of Silent Hill 2.

Impressively, your map gets filled out with notes that keep track of relevant story information as you obtain it throughout the levels and from narrative documents. Tꦏhe map also keeps track of the level of security clearance you've reached. This all seems brilliantly scribbled from Estevez's point of view as a way of conveying that this is how she keeps her maps.

3 Better Environmental And Interac🐓tive Jumpscares

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Alan Wake 2 is known for its inᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚfamous jumpscares, which, other than the occasional deer or Hammer Taken bursting on the scene, happen as black-and-white flashes across your screen that reveal the disturbing Taken bosses for each chapter. Although there's more of that in the final expansion with Dr. Marmon▨t and The Paintiꦓng, jumpscares are more inventive and environment-based this time around.

It's all very Dead Space-like. Some of the best ones are when you open a door and a Taken enemy immediately gets the jump on you, or whenജ you want to get a closer look and interact with a poster and a Taken pushes themselves up against the window. Another jumpscare will show a Taken roaming in the distance after completing an action. But the most chilling ones are when Painted enemies come out of the wall right beside you.

2 New Son🌟gs From Poe And Petri Alanko

Part of what helped elevate Alan Wake 2 from its predecessor and reach its iconic status in the survival horror genre 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:was the soundtrack;👍 not just the 'Herald of Darkness' banger from the Old Gods of Asgard (a.k.a. Poets of the Fall), but the e൲nd-chapter songs that demonstrate excellent lyricism, vocals, and recapping of story events from various characters' points of view.

Night Springs had a fun theme song from artist Keira, and The Lake House DLC likewise treats you to two new tracks. One is the fabulous '6 Deep Breaths' by Poe, and it appears in the story as a meta-reference to her, as though she created it to escape from the Lake House (and plays during the credits). Closing out the chapte🅘r is 'End of an Era' by composer Petri Alanko and vocals by Amelia Jones, and list🅷ening to it after completing the whole AW2 experience will make you understand .

On the same FBC document for Poe's '6 Deep Breaths' is a URL to a page teasing the singeꩵr's potential upcoming project, www.sirensociety.io, as well as a URL to .

Poe is also the singer behind the original song 'This Road' for Alan Wake 2's soundtrack, and her brother is a🐠uthor Mark Z. Danielewski, who wrote House of Leaves, a book th🤪at inspired Alan Wake.

1 💜 A Control 2 Teaser

As Control's AWE expansion leads directly into the story of Alan Wake 2, The Lake House DLC aims to do the same for Control 2. You can see a teaser for the next chapter in the Remedy Connected Universe cleverly woven into the level design of Sublevel 4. Before taking the final elevator ride down to Sublevel 5, pull the light switch cord in Dr. Diana Marmont's office three times 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:to trigger the hidden sequence.

Estevez will teleport to the Oceanview Motel on a path connected to the Oldest House's Panopticon, where Dylan Faden, Jesse's brother, will be in a containment cell. He cryptically says, "Tell Jesse I tried... I really did," before a mash-up of intriguing visuals and concepts from Control 2 appear o𝕴n-screen. You see what is most likely New York and the subway tunnels being eaten by Mold, Hiss seeming🐼ly floating in the Dark Place, and an outline of either Alan or Jesse in a kaleidoscopic upside-down cityscape.
