Control's story and tone draw from a new tradition of uncanny fantasy known as the New Weird.
This article contains spoilers for Control and Annihilation.
Control is not, director Mikael Kasurinen points out, a horror game, but the latest entry in the New Weird, a genre sitting in a debated space somewhere between science fiction, horror, and magical realism. It's in this space that the team at Remedy Entertainment created the game's unique atmosphere.
The game is set in the Oldest House, a shifting, rigorously mapped skyscraper that grows diseased like a human body. It is the base of operations for the Federal Bureau of Control, a mysterious government organization that investigates "paranatural phenomena." This is also the organization that stole protagonist Jesse Faden's brother, a setup that leads to the game's main conflict, as Jesse investigates the Oldest House while also protecting it from a supernatural invasion.
