Creation History
In June 2016, Polygon announced that Remedy Entertainment is working on two new projects not related to their past games [3] .
On December 28, 2016, in an interview with Polygon, the developers said that in addition to CrossFire 2, they are also working on a cooperative game Project 7 (the working title of the game Control). Its action will unfold in an open world, and the game will provide users with the ability to create their own stories [4] [5] . April 11, 2017 it became known that Remedy want to release Project 7 including on the PlayStation 4 [6] .
On May 3, 2017, Remedy Entertainment announced that they had signed a contract with 505 Games , which will invest almost $ 8.5 million in development and will be the publisher of Project 7 [7] [8] .
The company's financial statement for 2017 indicated that the company plans to release a third-person cinematic shooter Project 7 in 2019. The game has already gone from preliminary to direct production [9] .
The game was officially announced on June 11, 2018 at E3 2018 [10] [11] .
On July 2, Remedy launched a video diary for their Control project. The first video was dedicated to the main character Jesse Faiden and the game universe [12] [13] . It also became known that the events of the game will evolve according to the canons of the classic horror films of the 20th century: at first incomprehensible and mysterious, then dark and threatening, and in conclusion absolute horror and rapidly developing events [14] .
On March 20, 2019, Epic Games confirmed that Control would be the temporary exclusive of their digital store, Epic Games Store [15] .
Story
The main character of Control - Jesse Faydens (played by Courtney Hope ) conducts her own investigation in the Bureau, trying to find answers to personal questions. Shortly after the assassination of director Zechariah Trench, Jesse was appointed director of the Federal Bureau of Control for unknown reasons. The FBK building was controlled by an extraterrestrial life form, known as Hiss (Hiss). Jesse is to take control of the situation in the Bureau [16] [17] . The world of Control is evolving and full of mysteries. Each of Jesse's allies has its own goals. She has to cooperate with other agents of the Bureau, solve ciphers and understand the strange experiments that the Bureau is conducting. The game takes place inside a huge building in New York in Manhattan in the so-called Oldest House (Oldest House) with a variety of rooms and changing architecture [18] .
Gameplay
As in previous projects Remedy, control in Control is exercised from a third party. Players will have to fight against enemies using the Director’s pistol, which can be transformed into different forms. The gun can also be upgraded to increase its combat effectiveness. In addition, players will have access to various supernatural and telekinetic abilities. For example, the main character can use debris to form a protective shield and throw objects in the direction of enemies, using them as weapons. Players can purchase Force Objects by completing side quests or exploring the game world. These are items that can be used to unlock new skills, such as Jesse's ability to levitate in the air [19] . Remedy added that the game is less linear than previous games, and that players will have many opportunities to explore the world [20] . The game also planned cooperative gameplay, but this idea had to be abandoned [4] [21] .
