Control Wiki & Guides

Control is a supernatural action-adventure that puts you in the shoes of Jesse Faden, the newly appointed Director of the Federal Bureau of Control. Armed with the Service Weapon and a suite of telekinetic abilities, you must reclaim the Oldest House from the Hiss—a corruptive resonance that has invaded our reality.

The Oldest House is a Place of Power where the rules of physics don’t always apply. To help you navigate the shifting corridors of the FBC, contain rogue Altered Items, and uncover the truth about the Prime Candidate program, check out our comprehensive Control guides and walkthroughs below.
