I love this type of comments, when people assume they figured out DPC just because they played one game from him before, the only game he created before Badik. because the Depraved Awakening and City of Broken Dreamers, are so similar right ?
PhillyGames totally made a Depraved Awakening 2.0 with the Broken Dreamers

While there's writing style evolution, writers that can write different kinds of styles, ect. There will always be a commonality between all works. Badik is written similarly to al, granted two totally different storys, but the storytelling style is the same.i mean, it is fair to say that if you look at the collected works of artists/creators from many fields there is usually some overlap of themes in their works. the guy you quoted didnt say he knew the inner workings of DPC's mind or that he already had the whole BaDIK story solved, just that by digesting their previous works you may gain insight into what the writer wants to say or the types of stories they to tell or problems they like to present or criticize.
AL is good to consume before this game since it shows you that DPC wont shy away from scary real life issues and that he isnt telling fairy tales. these are mature stories with some comedy and lewdness thrown in, but that disclaimer before you play this game for the first time is there for a reason.
as somebody who has written stories themselves, people put a lot more of themselves into their works than they may even realize, which is why many artists usually create things that share many similar ideas. unless the point of the work is to purposely leave your comfort zone
As far as the gunshy comment, al showed dpc's not above roping the player into the story and giving a gut punch. (Diabolical lyrical mastermind? ) as well as a warning that al does do that.
