Rewriting Reality

Rewriting Reality 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 reality we take for granted is softer, more adaptable than we think. Under correct conditions, you can reshape it, turn it into almost anything you want. When it happens, almost nobody notices. It's not that we forget; it's that after the change, there's nothing to remember.

Only those who have been directly touched by the powers that can shift reality are aware of the changes. Many are driven mad by it. Others can cope. I am one of those people, and I know to wield that power to rewrite reality.

This page can be found on a rock in front of the cabin where the CD is found.
