There s a man staring at a fridge, and he’s locked in a glass room.
Oh thank god, he cries. I ve been staring at it since yesterday with no breaks. Are you here to take over?
This is a scene from Control, the upcoming psychological shooter from Remedy, the creators of Quantum Break and Max Payne. Our hero, Jesse Faden, is the newly appointed head of the Bureau of Control. She has entered a room where the Bureau keeps all the strange artifacts they find. One such object is this powerfully unsettling refrigerator, which must be observed at all times or else it will deviate . That s why this man is so upset. He’s one of your agents, but an emergency has left him without a shift change for 24 hours. Unfortunately, we don t have time to help. We re just here to catch the Gamescom demo, after all.
Wait! he sobs as Jesse runs away. Don t leave me here!
He never takes his eyes off the fridge. Control is a weird game.
