What Happens To Alice?

Near the beginning of the game, Alan and Alice arrive at their cabin. The two have an argument regarding Alice’s decision to have a study set up to help Alan write. This upsets Alan who storms off.

Fast forward a little an Alan hears Alice screaming in the lodge, with all of the lights turned off, something he finds strange due to Alice’s fear of the dark. He fights his way to the cabin and rushes out the back, only to see Alice sinking to the bottom of the lake.

Throughout the game, Alan is doing everything he can to figure out what has happened to Alice, even being told that she is dead and that everything going on around him is simply a coping by Doctor Hartman. Alan refuses to believe this.

At the end of the game, Alan defeats the darkness and makes his way back to the cabin once again. He settles down to finish the novel, something he has discovered is the only way that he can bring Alice back from the darkness.

After a conversation earlier on, Alan realises that the reason Zane failed in his quest was that he didn’t sacrifice himself. Therefore, Alan trades his life for Alice’s. He then fades into the darkness as Alice is seen climbing out of the lake. This means that Alice doesn’t die in Alan Wake.
