** Alan ends the story [[spoiler: with the resolve to finally complete ''Return''... only to still wind up trapped, 11 years after this story's writing (13 years total between the first game and the second).]] However, Alan ''also'' mentions that [[spoiler: he only needs to write himself out of the dark halfway. Meanwhile, he can rely on Barry and Alice to help him. Alan learns a similar lesson in ''II'', with Saga and Casey set to join him on the journey out.]]

* HarsherInHindsight / HilariousInHindsight: With the release of ''VideoGame/AlanWakeII'', it's pretty entertaining to see what this story got right, as well as wrong:

[[spoiler: It also turns out that Alan has to write a whole other book -- ''Initiation'' -- before he can even begin planning his escape.]]
** [[spoiler: Even the power of the sun can't save Celestia, since [[StoryBreakerPower being able to summon the sun removes the tension from a horror story]]. In ''II'', the Taken are also unaffected by sunlight.]]

* CompleteMonster: The Darkness may or may not qualify, it seems to be as much an EldritchAbomination as anything, but Nightmare Moon definitely qualifies. Especially after she rips out what little innocence she has and [[TouchedByVorlons becomes a mere mask for the Darkness]].
