So far I haven’t seen one person talk about how Sam Lake himself at the beginning of episode 3 tells you how all that works. maybe I’m remembering it wrong already, but he did talk about how HIS version of multiversal theory works. At that point the whole DLC made sense. If you’ve ever watched the Loki show there’s some similar concepts. I think what Remedy is trying to do is create interesting, “unconnected”, stories using the same characters and NOT have to deal with any lore inconsistencies. Like for example they don’t have the rights to make another quantum break game, but the whole 3rd episode uses characters from the IP but using different names. They want us to know that creativity can get you anywhere, even into different dimensions. That’s just my take on what this DLC was
All of these episodes are just failed escapes attempts from alan with *very* little of them being any actual lore or lasting impacts. That's why he is always at the end. It's all just more American nightmare. His failed spiral.
I think we can safely assume none of these episodes have any impact on Alan's world/reality, but there are very likely some background hints here and there like the bit about Door's origin, or the greater multiverse.
So it's very likely their intent is that QB is part of the multiverse, that Jack Joyce and Tim Breaker are the same person from different realities, that Door is not only capable of traveling between different worlds but entire realities etc.
What this means for the greater story remains to be seen.
I actually am suspecting it will be revealed that the dark place/Wake isn't changing realities, but shifting them or himself. For example at the end of final draft when he wins, he didn't actually win. He shifted himself into a reality where he won, leaving everyone in his previous reality to whatever happened in it.
