Updated (2/6/2015): Waaaaaaaait...A.W.E.? Three years ago, Sam Lake (Creative Director at Remedy) created a blog entitled This House of Dreams. The site followed a fictional woman called Samantha who moves into her dream house in the town of Ordinary, where strange things begin to happen. Soon after moving in she finds a shoebox full of old poems and photographs which the blog focuses on. The events mirror the story line of Alan Wake but is it's own tale.
In the post, Samantha has a dream about an FBI agent who appears at her door. His face is wrapped in moving shadows. He questioned her about the box, stated that it has classified information inside and said that he would have to take it away. But the shoebox was gone, both in the dream and in real life. "When I think back about the dream, it didn’t say 'FBI' on his badge; it said 'AWE'." AWE: Bureau of Altered World Events! Click HERE to read the post.
