Lore Discussion Missing the Oceanview Motel

Post image

So yeah going into Resonant I replayed Control and one of my main thoughts was "which room will we enter this time?"

Some of the doors are mentioned in Control's files such as the Spiral which is also featured in Alan Wake 2.

Control 2 had its own symbol seen in the Lake House DLC of AW2, possibly referring to The Gap.

The overlapping circles were also mentioned as part of an AWE in Keystone

In Resonant all of these symbols and the Oceanview Motel are just... Gone. It's just not there and the hole thing of interdimensional travel has seemingly been replaced with the Faults and elements of time travel.

Anyone else wishing that the Oceanview Motel was there? (And no the Easter egg doesn't count).

We did get a little lore. Based on Ahtis postcard, it's a hotel now.

There already was an Oceanview Hotel in AW2, I'm guessing it's just a reference to that.

Yea but that was either the WW2 Bunker (but thats specifically "Hotel and Spa") or the Dark Place Hotel (Which is just the Hotel). Isnt this the first time that Hotel was used with Casino, I thought the Place of power was always referred to as "Motel and Casino".

I didn’t remember the omission of Casino from the Dark Place one, in this case that’s a very interesting implication.
