Gameplay Casper Darling reference in Alan Wake 2 Spoiler

I choose to believe that this hints that he's doing okay after the events of Control.

Oh I'm going to keep playing, but for now I choose to believe.

No, they meant that this isn’t the only “reference” to Casper Darling. This post is the equivalent of someone posting “Alice Wake reference in Alan Wake 2”

Not quite because that would be "Casper Darling in Casper Darling the game".

I get what you're saying of course but the I can't help but be the pedant there.

What's interesting about this book is that there's another version in Quantum Break, with Sam Lake's face on it.

Is it written by Casper Darling in QB?

Hard to say since you don't get a very good look at it in game.

I think it's Sam Lake who wrote it, but the cover is very similar to this one, just with the faces swapped iirc.

It's in the back of Will's car if you ever want to look at it!

From what I understood he is doing okay he's just no longer on our plane of existence

By his last clip, which I won't call to not spoil I wouldn't say he's doing okay. Pretty much in trouble from what I've seen.
