There are rules, and he has to try to make his way out of a nearly impossible situation by finding loopholes in those rules, or clever ways to subvert them; a writer's dream and nightmare combined, sort of. It's not just survival; if he can pull it off, it's also proof that he can construct a compelling and plausible narrative. But also getting out of the hell dimension, yeah.

I found this before the dlc was announced and as I huge fan of Alan Wake I was ecstatic!

Ngl, Saga's near-magical deduction abilities were one of the weakest bits of the narrative. Like, I would get it if say Rose mentioned "Oh, (resident) always steals from the other residents.
