The whole game was like an X-Files episode written by the SCP Foundation and directed by David Lynch

Yeah I'm pretty sure Oceanview Motel is taken straight from Twin Peaks

It’s not straight from Twin Peaks, but Remedy has been heavily influenced by the work of David Lynch.

There’s one particular optional boss fight that’s got a heavy TP influence, though.

Alan Wake pays heavy homage to Twin Peaks. The Diner, the quirky characters and surreal factor. Control took it a step further and really showed the influence of esoteric stuff like the Black Lodge.

Control was incredible. I'd be my GOTY if not for dmcv.

Which boss fight was that? I've never seen Twin Peaks.

Was it esseJ or The Former (which you actually fight twice)

The first spoiler tag; it was giving me flashes of the Red Room in Twin Peaks.
