Alan Wake 2was released back on October 27th, and it has already created a lot of magnificent scares that have kept players from sleeping for days. One such scare that no player expected was regarding a taxidermied owl, which is hanging above the writing desk in a certain author’s room.
This scary detail was found byTwitter/Xuser Shkegulka, who has released a video showing that the taxidermy owl will constantly follow you around the room with its gaze. What makes these even scarier is that this owl will only follow you while your back is turned.
Why Is This Moment as Creepy as It Is in Alan Wake 2?

When it comes toAlan Wake 2, there are already numerous things that will scare even the most professional horror game fans. But what makes this creepy moment so unique is the fact that it is barely noticeable, but when it is noticed, it will add to the atmosphere that the player is already being scared by.
What makes this even more unique is that the game never tells you that this is happening, and it is such a minor detail that would only be noticed by those who are actively looking for something like that.
Even though this creepy moment is only minor, it has caused many of the game fans to wonder what other scares like this could also be waiting to be found withinAlan Wake 2. Since this takes place withinAlan Wake‘s writing room, some gamers have theorised that a similar scare could also be waiting within Saga Anderson’s mind palace.
Unfortunately, this theory has already been proven to be incorrect, as players have already taken the time to test out the theory to see whether anything similar will happen in other locations, and sadly, these tests have fallen flat.
Some would say this is a relief, but some players will be even more concerned, as they will venture through the game constantly afraid that inanimate objects will be viewing their every move without even knowing it.
Why Was This Feature Added to Alan Wake 2, and Why Does It Make the Experience Scarier?
Even thoughAlan Wake 2has already been deemed a rather scary game, with players jumping out of their seats as they progress through the story, there is always room for more jump scares and a horrible atmosphere that will constantly keep gamers on the edge of their seats.
This feature utilises a unique kind of fear to scare the players who find it, as it uses the player’s fear of constantly being observed by an outside source. Even if a player doesn’t notice this watcher hiding in the room, they will still feel in the back of their minds that they are being watched by something that shouldn’t be there.
Thanks to this unique moment inAlan Wake 2, players are constantly left wondering what could be waiting for them around the corner or hiding within the trees watching them. Since this is only a minor scare that not many players will have noticed, it won’t create a lot of worry for those who do not notice.
So far, this creepy moment inAlan Wake 2hasn’t been noticed by many players, but the inclusion of this feature shows that even the minor details inAlan Wake 2have been taken care of by Remedy Entertainment, and there could be even more creepy moments hiding within the game.
