I don’t think you want a game about Control specifically (the overarching story in the game itself isn’t really that interesting), but having a X-Files style series centered around the FBC where they go through different case files picking up different anomalies and such would be sick. Would really allow them to flesh out the universe they started building with the game too, which was imo the best part of control to begin with.
All of this was super cool but also super creepy, I barely made it through the game because it was so toe curlingly eeky… I’m not sure id want to dive into a whole show about more of this, but I get that y’all do.
I love how weird Control was. Absolutely off the wall with real video segments throughout. It was just so abstract and interesting. You never really felt like you fully had a grasp on all that was going on, but knew just enough to not make you check out.
I liked the game overall, but tbh, I wasn’t too impressed by the main story. The setting, lore, and atmosphere were all great, though. I think if they made a show, it could add more depth to the supporting characters and backstory, similar to what The Last of Us is doing.
Like TLoU, the game is a bunch of action set pieces with bits of story mixed in. The show would need to focus on the mystery and psychological thriller aspects, saving the action for crucial moments.
Check out The Lost Room if you haven’t. Great mini series that has a similar vibe with objects appearing in the world, each with strange and unique powers.
Control really reminded me of this SyFy TV miniseries called [The Lost Room](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0830361/). It’s got objects of power, motel rooms, enigmatic supernatural events, etc. It’s not amazing but at least it’s interesting and kinda stuck with me. Only 6 hrs long so not a huge time investment anyhow.
You could make a cracking TV series out of Control, mixed in with some Alan Wake.
The Alan Wake-a-verse would make a great TV IP. Control is my fave, but there’s a lot more to it.
_**The entire Alan Wake universe would be a terrific series**_
The best part? Her voice actress looks just like her, AND has live action acting experience.
Only if they use [Stupendium’s song](https://youtu.be/n6gGE9kxe1M)for the theme music / intro.
Have you seen Severance on Apple TV? Some heavy Control vibes.

Wasn’t there a sequel announced?
I want an Infamous TV series. That would be amazing in my opinion.
Netflix has done “Objects of Power: in [“Archive 81”](https://www.netflix.com/ca/title/80222802)…
Loved the in-game Easter Egg of an Art Bell-style radio call-in show.
I’ve been having trouble getting into new games as I get older, but that one got me. Great game.
Could you let all the less cool kids know what the fuck game you’re talking about?
Oh man, seeing the service weapon in action must be so sweet.
Hope they don’t forget a shoutout to the fridge guy.
I honestly love the world building and the way they explain all the weird, otherworldy shit that goes down in the facility. It’s awesome.
AND SHE WALKED IN LOOKIN’ LIKE DYNAMITE
Honestly I’d take an anthology series revolving around one Altered Items or Objects of Power each episode.
What is this?
*TAKE…CONTROL!!!!!!* 🥁 🎸 🤘
I want the curse of monkey island lol
Why’d you choose such an awkward screenshot
What’s this?

Please dont forget the puppets!
They’d need to build out the world so the show didn’t take place entirely in the oldest house. Maybe follow some teams as they track down the objects?
I think bioshock or prey would be cool
I went into that game not knowing anything about it besides a suggestion from a friend and was thoroughly surprised.
Very good game all around with story wise and mechanics. Was sad when I finished it.
If they do an adaptation it should be focused on only Ahti.
Stranger Things: The Adult Years
Absolutely, HBO’s answer to Stranger Things with a corporate/office based twist.
<WE AGREE / COMFIRM THIS EXCELLENT IDEA / PROPOSAL>
Fatboy Slim made one about the old Director with Christopher Walken!
What game is this?
As long as they do the Finnish janitor correctly and often. Always need more Finnish janitor

Two words: Ashtray Maze
One of the best games I’ve played in forever.
This is Control, right? I bought it on sale and have yet to play it. Worth spending time to play?
