Alan Wake 2 - Main Story
Alan returns to Bright Falls to find it has begun turning into a nightmarish version of his own egotistical desire for praise. He finds his Writer's Room and begins writing a new ending to reverse the damage. Saga, with help from Mr. Door, implied to be her father, and Alice Wake, learns to navigate the Dark Place, retrieving the Clicker and a Bullet of Light, and reuniting with Alan to help him write an ending to save Casey and Logan.
With the Clicker and the revised ending, Saga is able to banish the Dark Presence from Casey's body. Alan goads it into possessing him again, and Saga shoots him with the Bullet of Light, seemingly killing him and destroying the Dark Presence. As the bullet passes through Alan, he sees clearly for a moment, and realizes that the whole story has been looping endlessly and he will return to the beginning without his memory: this monologue continues into the monologue from the game's opening. As Casey recovers from his possession, Saga calls Logan to see if the ending worked, but the scene cuts to black while the phone rings and the credits roll.
In a post-credits scene, a recording left behind by Alice reveals she knew Alan was trapped, and used her videos to trick Alan into thinking she committed suicide, explaining that the only way he can escape the loops is through either "destruction" or "ascension". Alice is now in the Dark Place too, helping him and Saga through the story. Alan must continue the loop and keep going through destruction until he's ready for ascension, with Alice's words and love as his light preparing him bit by bit. Alan then revives from his gunshot wound and says, "It's not a loop, it's a spiral."
The New Game Plus mode, The Final Draft, presents a different ending, implying that the player's repeated playthroughs have brought them to the end of the spiral. As he hands Saga his revised ending for Return, Alan realizes that the Dark Presence was born from the darkness that was shot out of his skull by the Bullet of Light, and it has been influencing him all his life. The link between it and Alan was severed after he finished Return, but the Dark Presence remained as Alan was missing the part of himself it was born from: Alice. Realizing that he and Alice are still connected through his writing and her photos, the Bullet of Light finally succeeds and destroys the Dark Presence for good, breaking the loop. Logan answers Saga's call, and Alan revives soon after, no longer returning to the beginning of the loop. He thanks Alice, then declares himself the master of not just two worlds, but many.
