      The whole shtick is writing becoming real creating multiple realities and you do realize Control with its Alan Wake dlc and Quantum Break exist along with American Nightmare and the DLCs for AW1.

          The Signal dlc is Alan going crazy in the dark place trying to write his way out.

          Remedy considers Quantum Break and Max Payne explicitly Canon

          Time jumping and Hatch are a form of multiple realities.

          Control also explicitly is about multiple worlds and realities including the Astral Plane.

              The Dark Place is considered a different reality and established as such in Control by having it’s own Door in the Ocean view motel.

              It’s the swirl.

                  If you somehow played the remedy games and didnt also notice that Alan Wake wrote the Max Payne games which exist too idk what to say.

                  Go back and replay you somehow missed everything.

                  From the fan wiki description of the motel:

                  "The Oceanview Motel & Casino is a Place of Power connecting between various different locations. The Federal Bureau of Control theorizes it to be a gateway to alternate dimensions and Thresholds. "

                  Here’s a reddit thread from 2 years ago with the same conclusions. https://www.reddit.com/r/controlgame/comments/q8gtz5/what_really_is_the_oceanview_motel/
