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.  If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon , where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!
