Alan Wake, Control, and the lore linking the Remedy universe
About this episode
The episode explores the lore connecting the games Alan Wake and Control, focusing on their themes of reality and horror.
The lore of the games from Remedy and how the two series Alan Wake and Control are linked is the topic of this week's Lore Watch Podcast. Both games are about events that shift from what the main characters know to be true, into something which couldn't possibly be true, if what they already knew to be true was real. Both games have a sense of wrongness and eerieness — Alan Wake 's is more weird, like Twin Peaks , while Control's veers into horror. Joe and Matt unpack the plots of both series as individual works, and then delve into the mysteries and themes that connect them.
