Alan Wake 2 leaves a lot to the imagination. It declines to answer many questions, big and small, throughout its entire story. But its unsolved mysteries are most concentrated in its final chapters. The last two hours of Alan Wake 2 are packed to the gills with out-of-place artifacts, inexplicable plot devices, and uninterrogated ideas. There certainly seems to be a plan in place, and some of these questions will definitely be answered in Alan Wake 2’s New Game Plus mode and DLC. But for the time being, players are left to wonder.
[Warning: This article contains spoilers for the ending of Alan Wake 2.]
While some solutions are hinted at by supposedly leaked content from Alan Wake 2’s upcoming DLC, the leaks are incomplete and rarely provide totally satisfying answers. So even with all the information provided by the base game and the leaked cutscenes, there are still many mysteries left unsolved. These are some of the loose ends Alan Wake 2’s DLC should seek to tie up.

Alan Wake 2 reveals that Alex Casey, the protagonist of Alan’s best-selling mystery novels, used to be a real person. Since Cauldron Lake’s supernatural power twists imagination into reality, Alan’s writing becomes real, causing the real Casey’s backstory to align more closely with the fictional one’s. As a result, Casey is technically one of his creations, which is why Scratch can’t perfectly possess him after the final boss fight of Alan Wake 2. But who was Casey before Alan got his hands on him? Did Alan know who he was, and unwittingly transform him by using his name? Or was it simply a case of coincidence gone wild?
