In this episode we find out that Dan has been drinking a lot because he feels that he writes more freely while under the influence of alcohol. Even though it seems to be helping his writing, it's also very negatively affecting his relationships with Linda and Tommy.

"The Novelist asks one central question: can you achieve your dreams without pushing away the people you love? The game focuses on Dan Kaplan, a novelist struggling to write the most important book of his career while trying to be the best husband and father he can be. The Kaplans have come to a remote coastal home for the summer, unaware that they're sharing the house with a mysterious ghostly presence: you."
