Pressure

Pressure is one of the Collectibles found in Alan Wake's American Nightmare. It is one of the pages of the Return manuscript.

Manuscript text[]

The pressure of the success got to me. My wife, Alice, was the sole thing in my life that anchored me. Suddenly, it wasn't enough. I couldn't write anymore.

I distracted myself with wild parties and whatever trouble I could scare up. I wallowed in the drama of my life, sure that Alice would stick with me, even though she didn't sign up to be the lifeline of a tortured artist. It was dumb luck she's not the type to give up.

Location[]

This page can be found on a barrel outside the main observatory.
