Control always felt like Remedy's version of the Dark Tower. A story that acts as a nexus for all other places within the Remedy verse. I'm interested to see if future Remedy games reference it.

[@kmhowells2]

This is how I view Control and the Oldest House as well. It’s the hub that holds all the spokes of the Remedyverse together.

[@digitalbarrito3555]

Oh you bet your bippy it was referenced heavily in Alan Wake 2. Alan Wake 2 will also have a second DLC released for it much like Control did, and it's going to be a DLC that leads in to Control 2 much like the AWE DLC directly lead in to Alan Wake 2.

[@SnowTheKitsune]

Literally in my eyes control is triple A version of SCP foundation. Literally some of them are inspired by them.

[@Pablud3S]

The answer is very much and early yes.

[@clockworkNate]

Well you should definitely play Alan Wake 2 if you haven't.

[@wintertrooper7918]

having been a kid in a small town i can say with 100% certainty that kids will play in virtually anywhere they can (i think this dump was not a garbage dump but a dump for old furniture appliances and swing sets and things like in my home town we have one we called the rubble site)

[@Renoistic]

For sure. My friends and I played in multiple places kids have no business in, like dumps and sawmills.

One of the best games I've played in recent years that isn't talked about enough. Really happy you made a video on this!

[@lucieeatssnekkers2756]

I have the worst case of isolation revolving around this goddamn game. I was obsessed with it for years (still think its amazing) and just. nobody. else. had. played. it.

[@ADMNtek]

agreed, the lore/universe is just mindboggling and the gameplay is fun. Control made me feel more like a Jedi than any Star Wars game. I am so excited for Control 2. but being an EGS exclusive at first really hurt them on PC.

[@theamazingwam7998]

@@lucieeatssnekkers2756 worse; they play it and don't understand it. Now you look crazy.

[@KonkaBass]

I love the lore in Control. It's world building through the FBC is something that's just, I think, tremendous and has so much potential for far-reaching stories inside of that universe. Love it!

[@GeorgeTsiros]

consider watching "The Lost Room"

[@alwaysxnever]

I absolutely love the lore of control. Totally criminal there isn't some kind of a new game plus for this title.

[@Phantom86d]

I glad we finally gained clearance after the previous seminar. I have been trapped in the filing rooms for... How long has it been? I don't remember... Anyway, higher clearance! Yay!

[@kristerry6508]

What i do love that in a document you find, they discuss that weapons of mythical legend such as Thors Hammer and Excalibur were all possibly real and might have been Objects of Power

[@JimGallo]

This video is a FANTASTIC explainer of the events of Control, a game I've played through twice and still did not completely understand what was happening.

[@AlexAnom420]

You've got to love Remedy entertainment.... they put out passion projects which create the best games... such a great studio

[@TheKueiJin]

Don't get me wrong i love Remedy, i absolutely adore the Max Payne 2, and still remember it to this day. I love most of their games, but CONTROL is rather bland... It has very nice mechanics, but never truly explored... It's such a shame too..

[@vegaskullkid4503]

Aye the lore of Control, nice. I’ve never actually played Control nor Alan Wake but both have very interesting lore to me so I already love this.

[@dillasoul2228]

If you get the chance, you should try it out, getting emersed with knowledge of some things makes the game that much more interesting

[@ryanstewart2289]

It's honestly one of the best superhero games out there. My advice if you want to play it, telekinesis beats everything.

[@Atomy111]

Play Control 100%

[@talkingmudcrab718]

Do yourself a favor: Play it (them). Especially if you enjoy things like The X-Files, SCP, ghost stories, etc.

[@Binglesnoop]

So so happy to see you come back to this game! Your old Control video was how I found your channel and the reason I initially subscribed.

[@grandcato3612]

You have covered many horror stories... that [REDACTED] was the scariest

[@wdsyalyn]

Everytime I revist this game I am stunned with how underappreciated it is by the mainstream. Probabably in my top 5 games of all time.

[@zacharyberridge7239]

I LOVE Control! Absolutely one of my favorites. I have always liked the SCP stories, so a game clearly inspired by them was immediately on my radar. Also, gotta say, when it comes to the levitate ability, they did a great job capturing this dream-like sensation.

[@StealthlessGaming]

Im almost positive that this game came out before SCP got really popular and mainstream.

[@zacharyberridge7239]

@@StealthlessGaming it did not. It came out in 2019. I was already watching the Volgun's videos on YT at that point.

[@Greaseball01]

That indoctrination video was my first video from this channel, so stoked for the full lore break down

[@EnriqueMaxx]

Super happy to see someone going over the lore of this masterpiece. I love this game's story so much it would make for an amazing TV show on like HBO

[@Narc1024]

It is inspired by twin peaks

[@jane_gorelove]

thanks so much for making this! Control's universe is very comfy to me, and your narration is great, so listening to it is very fun and pleasant ^^

[@Spaaardaaa]

greatest lore/story video about Control I've seen so far, and I've seen a handful of them because it's both confusing and intriguing to me. Well done, lady!

[@HeatherHolt]

The show Severance reminds me of Control so much

[@restlessDSM]

Just as I was wrapping up my second playthrough of Control. You have impeccable timing.

[@Rupert_Astralnauta]

Oh, now I've got Laszlo's voice again stuck in my head.

[@shadowfox0193]

This game needs to be made into a series, so much potential!

[@okeynwachie]

I'm so happy the algorithm brought me here. Your narrative style is exactly what I was looking for. I'll be browsing the playlists until pt 2 is out. Good shit 👏🏿

[@GamingFromCanadaCDN]

Loved this game so much, platinumed it on PS4 & PS5. So glad that it tied into Alan Wake with bits of info in the main game, then the DLC

[@Nicolas-mm9hp]

Control is my favorite game ever!! I love everything about the remedyverse. They are the GOAT

[@arguekayes]

Control/Alan Wake are one of my favorite games and universe. So im hyped for these videos

[@kendallcharleswell8489]

Your self-promotion was full of chocolate, and then u got an ad for Compartes. Good teamwork!

[@Darquine]

That might be the best and weirdest in-video ad I've ever watched. You just earned yourself a subscriber and binge viewer.

[@Shearedfield]

Great video! Definitely helps to bring a better understanding of the game. Looking forward to pt 2.

[@Tuaron]

Thank you for doing Control and Alan Wake. Not sure why I was recently recommended these videos, but I'm so glad I watched them (and then Death Stranding, the wild trip that game is). I'd watched a playthrough of AW (when I wasn't able to drag myself through it) and beat Control, but these videos really solidified concepts and made things make more sense for me, and they were thoroughly entertaining, to boot. Thank you, Tiptoe!

[@HungryPlatypus013]

Nice! I’m excited to start this one, the lore in this game is BANANAS

[@_Geedorah]

I loooooooved this game & Im so glad to have found a channel thoroughly going over its lore. Instant subscribe haha looking forward to the next part as I go through your catalog of other lore videos!

[@Cephalon_Shade]

Love this game. And Super glad you've come back to this one. Cheers!

[@divvyn]

I found my way into your channel through your control presentation, I am so happy that you are presenting this series!

[@ACEYGAMES]

The altered item is the gloves. Now to see if I got it right.

[@GreatgoatonFire]

It isn't clearcut but IMHO Max Payne is also a Parautilitarian with his abilities centred around perception. Bullet Time is that feeling of time slowing down during an adrenalin rush made real. The fact that he has been shot to hell and back but still lives? He takes pain killers, doesn't Feel hurt and hey presto, now he is fine again. Also fits with how he still very much can die, too much physical trauma in one go will kill him before he can grab his pills.

[@diastin]

That ad was awesome/inspired/terrifying!

[@grayearly3116]

Wow this video was insanely good. Better than anything ive seen on TV. Keep up the fantastic work

[@dubstepdude101]

Played this game for the first time two years ago and I finally picked it back up to beat it recently and what timing!!!! I can’t wait for these to come out while my obsession for this game is high! Lolol

[@roentgen822]

I am so grateful for this lore video because as much as I love Control, the game really punishes you for not reading every single document. I had zero awareness about the stuff with Neil and Trench’s daughter. I really hope Alan wake 2 is more forgiving because the stories are so interesting.

[@TiptoeTheTank]

Man, it bugs the hell out of me when great games hide their stories and lore. It's a sin of storytelling!

[@Amauvy]

it's a great feat, like Dark souls, its what gets people hook instead of shoving it down their throats@@TiptoeTheTank

[@Peatore]

Darling just being swole for no reason needs a lore disection.

[@MrMythul]

I'm pretty sure. Dylan and Jesse are the same person. There is some more about it in the game where there wasn't really records of two children prior to this event happening. Jesse was extremely lonely as a kid so this event caused her to almost split. Dylan alludes to as much.

[@felixfeliciano7011]

Dylan can be talked to and he will go into random rants and monologues, but in one of them, he talks about a dream he had. In the dream, he wasn't a boy, but a girl. A girl that was lonely but safe. One who had dreams and was happy in spite of it all. That girl's name was Dylan. When I first heard that, it made my head swim. Dylan? Jesse? These are incredibly ambiguous names. Who is supposed to be who in this story? Is Dylan telling us that the two of them are the same person, or is he dreaming of an alternate reality where that is the case? The game is is very vague about this but the breadcrumbs it leaves are amazing. UPDATE: I found a video of all of Dylan's dreams and I am definitely misremembering some details, but holy cow those scenes are amazing.

[@MrMythul]

[@kaiuniverse876]

I think my favorite part about the fbc is that theres a non-zero percent chance that they only exist because of Alan writing them into existence
