If you somehow played the remedy games and didnt also notice that Alan Wake wrote the Max Payne games which exist too idk what to say.
Go back and replay you somehow missed everything.
From the fan wiki description of the motel:
"The Oceanview Motel & Casino is a Place of Power connecting between various different locations. The Federal Bureau of Control theorizes it to be a gateway to alternate dimensions and Thresholds. "
The Dark Place is considered a different reality and established as such in Control by having it’s own Door in the Ocean view motel.
It’s the swirl.

Well you seem to know the story better than the devs. So I’ll take your word on it.
