I like the idea that you, the player, are 'Hedron' and the game is breaking the fourth wall in a completely different kind of way. The game world is merely another dimension to our human world, connected by the thresholds mentioned in the game. We, as players are guiding Jesse to destroy the hiss and are the inherent force of 'good' in the game that wants the Hiss eradicated. When the sphere is destroyed and there is nothing inside it's because we have already been bound to Jesse through Polaris as she initially entered the bureau, which also explains why Jesse can break through the Hiss once they infest her with our help. There is also a nice touch at the very end cutscene where Jesse says 'We are in this together, you and I' which I think is referring to us, as the gamer, the entity from another dimension that will continue to help Jesse destroy the rest of the Hiss in the post game gameplay. I know there are holes in this theory given what happened at ordinary but I think it's a cool idea that works quite well for the rest of the game.

Hedron is gone but Polaris ( actually Jesse's ESP) has been tuned to hedron's frequency since she was 10. Then Darling guides her to the hotel and shows her that the power was always inside her. The hiss can't take hold of she understands how to use it. From them on, she powers the HRAs

(Spoilers, of course) After you talk to Dylan for the first time, you can go back to him over the course of the game and he talks about his 'dreams'. One of these dreams he talks about is Dylan being the Director, while Jesse an assistant. Describing the exact things that she does when she's trapped in her mind after she's corrupted by the Hiss. Getting coffee (tidying the coffee mugs), scanning papers, and delivering mail. Forever. She is disposable and meaningless while he is powerful and commanding. Of course Trench is the Director in her dream/hallucination/simulation but Dylan is still seen in flashes sitting the in the Director's Chair, insinuating his superiority over her *exactly like in the dream Dylan described* . I'm not entirely sure what to make of it but it's a direct parallel.

Now Ahti gives Jesse a tape that she should listen to while going through the Ashtray Labyrinth -- a pretty decent metal song called "Take Control" by the band Poets of the Fall going by the name "Old Gods of Asgard" (another link to Alan Wake.) Wikipedia has an "Ahti" entry, corresponding to a hero in Finnish myth and a god/king of the sea. When Ahti takes his "vacation", we are made to chase a vision of the sun setting on the sea to find him.

This game (playing alone at night) gave me heavy old school max payne vibes mixed with Alan wake. Excellent game

This game is mental and your explanation on the story is amazing! Hope your channel gets even more recognized!!!

Great video thanks. May I ask what music is playing in the background? Love that dreamy atmosphere it creates

Nice, your video added some sense to it all thankyou, continue on and these are answered in Mission 10 nd so on.

I really like how they did real people in the videos and cutscenes. Pulled me deeper into the world.

And immediately I note something you missed... Northmoore is for all intents and purposes the power source for the generator, the NCR being a containment unit for the overpowered Northmoore, draining off the energy the man exudes and using it to power everything in the building.

1:59 The board more than gods are like leeches that feed on the power of the oldest house and are always searching for ways to be worshipped, which gave them power, you can see all of this in the foundation dlc. Also, not all objects of power transport you to the astral plane, only the ones controlled by the board.

Control may be one of the greatest Sci-Fi stories I've ever had the fortune to play though. The fact the story is so believable and grounded, all whilst being excellently written makes me want to play on purely to discover more about the world. The intrinsic and extrinsic story telling (both the literal story and the pieces of story and lore you stumble upon) help fill in some of the gaps, and answer just enough questions to still leave you wondering :)

I failed an expedition by 1 second.

Northmoor isn't dead. You can sort of get to see him in the maintenance sector if you look good enough.

Thanks for breaking that down. Found the story very confusing but that really helped. Great video.

Amazing video! Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Granted that the story is far from linear, I often feel it's hard to keep up. It's a masterpiece regardless and I'm amazed by what the creators were able to come up with.

I'm definitely in the camp of 'completed the game but have no idea what the fuck is going on'

Me too😂😂😂I think alot of the story is the in optional lore that you find around the old house and I'm not bothered to read any of it that's probably why I'm so confused

This video was very well done, good work!

Very well explained! I missed major parts. This was one of the best games I ever played in my whole life. Completed the main story with all the sidemissions. Only the dlc, jukebox expeditons left. Bought the ultimate edition on my new xbox series s for 60 fps fun! Will complete alan wake first on gamepass then come back to this game. I hope you make a video regarding alan wake and it's connection to control with the dlc as well if it's not done yet since you explained them main story concisely.

Alan Wake confronted an object of power!

I love this game and this video. I might be wrong but my understanding is that the service weapon/Excalibur/The Board executed Trench when he was no longer fit to be director.

Just recently played this game and fell in love with the story and lore it portrayed in detail. My only questions are this: How did certain items become Altered? Was it from the slide projector? Also what exactly turned the slide projector on to allow the Hedron to speak to Jesse and the Hiss to invade?

Thank you so much this actually made me understand the game and I had really appreciate it so much. Very great video!!

THANK YOU FOR THIS! Now I am gonna get those DLC's

Let us know what you think! And thank YOU for watching!

Today I finished Control and when I did I honestly didn't know what was this game all about. It happened to me for the first time. Storyline is really complicated and unclear. I couldn't make sense out of it. Remedy always creates games that leave you with more questions than answers. I'm not saying It's bad because It makes the game even more interesting, but problem with Control is that If you don't read notes you will lose lots of content that is needed to understand the entire story and I think it was a little bit too much for me. The amount of notes, Dr. Darling's videos, Trench's messages is overwhelming sometimes. You have to spend a lot of time reading, watching, listening instead of just playing and I know most gamers don't like it. That would explain why Remedy's games don't sell so massively. Btw. This is a great video. You explained it very well. I hope your hard work will be rewarded with more views and likes.

Yeah it’s definitely a game you have to be in the mood for if you want to follow the plot. Sometimes it’s fun to play a game like control where you have to really think and piece together each individual piece of information together and other times it’s fun to turn your brain off and play a brain dead shooter. I want remedy to be more successful, but I also don’t want them to dumb their games down anymore.

I study hermetic philosophy and related subjects, so the game made total sense to me and was amazed to find a Video game about metaphysics.

Amazing video! Actually really well explained.

Really good video. The music you used goes great with the whole atmosphere of the game. Could you please tell me what song this is? Thank you in advance and kudos on such great content.

My geuss for Darling is that he managed to bug out. How? I don't know. But my best geuss is that he went somewhere the Hiss couldn't find them. Or at least where it would take a while. Darling did seem to have a plan on where to go so it's possible that H E D R O N(can't say it without autocorrect kicking in) might of helped him out and got him somewhere. And I feel like he might take at least like a soldier or a scientist with him as well.

He's dead, he talked on the line

Great vid, just got the platinum and loved every minute.

Good job man, very good synopsis.

The Board is not-so-secretly the Game's creators. They are both talking to Jesse/The player, and break the 4th wall on several occasions. Also we know (part of) what happened at Ordinary: Bullies the projector from Jesse and Dylan, and went into a different slide, where an entity Jesse called the Not-Mother resided, who slowly turned all the kids into monkey monsters, by feeding them her milk. As for the Adults, they suddenly disappeared, but we don't know why.

I actually thought the story was fairly straight forward. The only major thing I found out from the Internet instead of reading it in the documents you pick up is that Ahti is an Entity. I mean you can obviously guess that, but I didn’t know it was confirmed in the papers.

This is one of the few games where I actually enjoyed reading the logs and listening to the audio logs for additional details. It is a lot tho, but most of it adds to the story.

So basically the bureau drove him insane

I had serious Senua's Sacrifice flashbacks while playing this game. That's why I think Jessy might have some kind of psychosis and everything is happening inside her head. Taking back Control is about clawing back her sanity from madness.

I think, “Control” was created as Alan Wake’s attempt to escape the dark place. I think he is trying to create some literature to help him take control of the dark place. Second dlc made my guess even more plausible

What an absolutely awesome game, loved every second of it

Great video and lots of straight concise ideas, do you know how Control ties in to Alan Wake and the Darkness?

I love your voice ,the explanation perfect background instrument perfect....def sub and a great recommendation I guess KZread can do something's right

What if Polaris died after hedron breaks and hiss took control over Jesse . Maybe jesse is imagining that Dyan is in coma and she is the new director . Maybe, when hiss took control over body people start imagining that are still alive and living their normal life but in reality they are just flying bodies .

To me it seems more likely that Alan and his powers are just part of the Control universe, not the reason for the whole Buroe event. His reality altering writing is an AWE, so he can affect things related to Control, but with limits.

@@cybernet343 In the AWE DLC it is heavily implied that Wake indeed was responsible for the events in Control. That's why the Hiss has similarities to the Darkness "different, but familiar" Now, interestingly enough, in quantum physics is stated that causuality works both ways, so there is that.

@@ArianDLizato Yes, although I still dont believe what the original commenter suggested, that the "world" of Control( or the FBC for that matter) was made by Alan. He may have been the one to set the events of the game into motion, but the Bureau would exist without his intervention, as his case is ultimately just an AWE, one of many.

To be fair, it is portrayed very badly, since it is only told in the mission log text

The song on the laberint was the highlight of the game "Take Control" while shooting all the infected was awesome

Bro thank you so much!, i wish every information on games were like this.

I’m puzzled about a lot of things from this game, but probably the biggest would be the mold. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with The Hiss but is obviously something that originated from a Threshold. In my mind, I felt that the “Get Well Soon” Balloon altered item caused it due to the descriptions of how the therapy dogs in the hospital that it was found in had a tendency to want to lick the black substance that oozed from it (just like how the mold makes people want to eat it and then become infected). I feel like I’m kinda stretching things though, could anyone clear this up for me?

It seems to have always been an issue for the bureau, just with the hiss being around things got out of control. Considering it was one of ahtis jobs, it was probably something he dealt with usually considering we only get mold missions from him and the lady downstairs

I played this early in my revived hobby as a gamer, and didn’t really do anything outside the main story missions and kinda skipped most of the story stuff - glad I came here to understand it all! I will have to go back to this game at some stage and play it properly.

Thank you. Even I'm still confused. I'm suprised that I actaully catched most of what you saying during playing. Confusing but great and unique game. I'm glad that there is still people doing such work.

Great explanation for the story! I gotta be honest, I gave up caring about it the more I played but loved the visual style of the game! I wish someone could explain why the developer thought the map in the game was sufficient, because it's awful!
