The first of Alan Wake II’s two planned DLC expansions, this one consisting of three episodes which each present a different AU/what-if scenario starring an alternate version of some Remedyverse character: Alan Wake waitress and Wake superfan Rose Marigold, Control protagonist and FBC director Jesse Faden, and Alan Wake II sheriff and Quantum Break expy Tim Breaker. I was hoping for some connective tissue between episodes or to the main game (maybe something with Wake and Door creating the episodes together?), but alas these are instead entirely non-canon stories that are also completely separate from each other. They also don’t really feel like Night Springs episodes—which is to say, Twilight Zone episodes—outside of David Harewood’s Warlin Door channeling his inner Rod Serling at the beginning and end of each episode. All that being said, taken on their own merits these episodes were a lot of fun. Being able to absolutely mow down enemies thanks to the metric truckload of ammunition and ridiculous weapons like Rose’s fully automatic shotgun that the DLC throws at you was a welcome change of pace, and each episode fully embraces the weird and absurd.
