Control is an action-adventure video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by 505 Games. The game revolves around the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), a secret U.S. government agency tasked with containing and studying phenomena which violate the laws of reality. As Jesse Faden, the Bureau's new Director, players explore the Oldest House – the FBC's paranormal New York headquarters – and utilize powerful abilities in order to defeat a deadly enemy known only as the Hiss, which has invaded and corrupted reality. Control was released on 27 August 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.[1]
Jesse arrives at the Oldest House as specified by Polaris and enters, finding the building seemingly empty of people. She bumps into a Finnish janitor, Ahti, who directs her to an elevator for "her interview". Through the elevator, Jesse discovers that the Bureau's previous Director, Zachariah Trench, has apparently committed suicide. Taking his fallen sidearm, Jesse learns it is an Object of Power, the Service Weapon, and is transported to the Astral Plane, where she completes a ritual and is selected as the new Director by the Board. Jesse emerges from Trench's office and finds that the Oldest House has been invaded by a hostile force known as the Hiss, which has possessed most of the Bureau's agents and corrupted the building's shifting topography. Jesse uses an Object of Power known as the Hotline to listen to the lingering presence of Trench, who relays that his former management team knows the secrets of the Bureau, and Jesse hopes they may be able to tell her the whereabouts of Dylan.

Jesse aids Pope and other surviving agents of the FBC who had been quick enough to don Hedron Resonance Amplifiers (HRAs): wearable devices created by Darling that protect their users from the effects of the Hiss. Pope notes that the Oldest House is on complete lock-down until the Hiss can be eradicated. Jesse enters the Oldest House's Maintenance Sector and is guided by Ahti to repair the building's electricity and plumbing to prevent a major meltdown. Jesse then uses a Directorial Override to reopen the other sectors, and enters the Research Sector in search of Marshall, whom she believes knows about Dylan. Jesse aids Marshall in retaking the Research Sector and securing production of more HRAs. Marshall reveals that Dylan, known to the Bureau as "Prime Candidate 6", was a candidate for the role of Director due to his special abilities, but after he proved unstable and killed several Bureau agents he was detained in the Containment Sector. Jesse rushes to the sector to find Dylan, only to learn that he has appeared suddenly in the Executive Sector and surrendered to the FBC agents there. Dylan tells Jesse that he has embraced the Hiss, which he believes will set him free of the Bureau, and that their invasion was made possible by the slide projector the Bureau recovered from Ordinary. Dylan warns Jesse not to trust Polaris, but Jesse resolves to find and deactivate the slide projector.

Jesse investigates the Prime Candidate program and learns that both she and Dylan were considered for the role of Director, and that the slide projector is contained in the Research Sector. Ahti gives Jesse a cassette player which enables her to navigate an elaborate maze protecting the slide projector's chamber. In the chamber, Jesse finds the projector missing; she learns that Darling led several expeditions into the dimension accessed through the only surviving slide the FBC was able to recover (the other slides having been burned by Jesse years prior), discovering a polyhedron-shaped organism he coined the Hedron, which is the source of the HRA resonance. Jesse discovers that the Hedron is Polaris, who called out to Jesse to save her from the Hiss; however, when Jesse reaches Hedron's containment chamber, the Hiss attacks and seemingly kills it. Jesse's mind is nearly invaded as the Hedron resonance falters; however, she is able to rediscover Polaris's essence within her and restore control. Jesse learns that Trench fell under the Hiss's influence during one of Darling's expeditions; he stole and concealed a second slide and used it to let the Hiss into the Oldest House to destroy what he perceived to be the threat of Hedron's takeover. Jesse finds the slide projector in the Executive Sector and, through it, enters the Astral Plane to confront Dylan, who is attempting to take over the Board through the Hiss. Jesse defeats the Hiss's defenses and cleanses Dylan, who falls into a coma. Finally accepting her new role as Director, she resolves to defeat the remaining Hiss in order to restore order to the Bureau.
