To the surprise of some Control Resonant players, there is actually an Alan Wake easter egg hidden within the game. However, it can be quite easily missed and is most easily obtained later in the game once you've unlocked your full traversal kit by repairing Faults during Jesse sightings.

If you're wondering how you can find the Alan Wake easter egg in Control Resonant, then we've got you covered; all of the information you'll need can be found in the guide below.

How to Find the Alan Wake Easter Egg in Control Resonant

The Alan Wake secret easter egg is hidden within Control Resonant's Evacuation Zone. To find it, use the fast travel doors to head over to the road near the Railyard Street Station.

Specifically, you want to find the shop called "Urban Fresh" - there's also a crate inside here, so be sure to make a quick trip inside to score some extra loot.

We've included a map screenshot below of the exact location where Urban Fresh can be found:

The rooftop you need to reach here is the rooftop opposite the Urban Fresh store. It is most easily accessed with the Reach traversal ability, which you can acquire by completing the Subway Fault.

If you are unable to access this area due to not yet having the traversal ability, then you can also opt to take the long route. This is done by jumping and gliding from surrounding rooftops.

Once you reach the rooftop, there will be a camera blocking the door.All you need to do to progress forward is to walk in front of the camera and let it freeze you for a photo temporarily.

After that, it will disappear, freeing up the door for you to continue forward.

Enter through the door and descend down the stairs until you reach the bottom floor with the elevator next to the stairs.

Now follow the signs of light and noise further into the rooms until you find a TV that is flickering with static.

Interact with the TV, and it will play a cutscene involving Alan Wake and Alex Casey. After this cutscene finishes playing out, you will get The Masters of Many Worlds for your Archives. You can also choose to rewatch this scene at any point later on through the Nightwatchmen section of your Archives.
