Remedy Entertainment‘s Sam Lake recently gave fans of theAlan Wakeseries a piece of information that they’ve been dying to know for quite a while.
The exchange happened on X/Twitter, where a user posed a question regarding one of the scenes that you can spot during the TV show segments in the first game. Little did they know, the user was bang on with their guess, and the mystery could finally be put to rest.
Remedy’s Sam Lake Confirms a Significant but Minor Detail
Alan Wakeis a psychological thriller video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and first released in 2010. Its gripping and trippy narrative and interesting gameplay mechanics led to the game quickly gaining a dedicated fanbase.

One of the most interesting features of the first game was the ability for players to interact with TV sets scattered throughout the game world.
These TVs would play live-action scenes, featuring snippets of Alan himself or episodes ofNight Springs, a fictional TV show within the game that’s kind of like the in-universe version ofThe Twilight Zone.
There’s one TV set that featured a shot of a zoomed-in eye that people have been trying to figure out over the years. Fast forward to the present day, where it’s been a while since a remaster of the game’s release, and people occasionally go back to it due to its sheer brilliance.
One fan, who was playing the remaster recently, stumbled upon the shot and took a screenshot of the TV screen displaying the eye. The fan asked other X users for confirmation if the eye belonged to Sam Lake, the writer behind theAlan Wakegames.
And, to the delight of fans everywhere, Sam Lake himself chimed in to end the debate.
I can confirm 👀😁

Of course, many people had guessed this before, but having that extra bit of confirmation from none other than the writer of the game was the perfect way of confirming the detail. It’s a small but charming Easter egg that fans appreciated.
