esse Faden’s workplace
is undergoing a bit of
restructuring. Not the
kind of management
restructuring which
may result in a few
redundancies for middle-management who
no one knew what they did anyway. No, the
entire fabric of reality inside the office of the
Bureau Of Control, where Jesse’s just arrived
for a job interview, is literally restructuring
itself all around her – the very fabric of reality
is shifting and phasing in and out of whack,
and things are generally getting weirder by
the second.
On the upside, not only did Jesse get the
job, she’s also immediately been promoted
to director. Apparently, it comes with dental,
a parking space and a unique shapeshifting
superpowered gun – and she’s going to
need all of that, especially the dental
plan, to deal with an invasion of a group oftransdimensional beings hellbent on eating
our reality. As far as bad first days in a new
job go, it’s up there with Leon Kennedy’s.
Welcome to the weird and wonderful world
of Control, the latest action-adventure game
from Remedy Entertainment, and OXM has
been invited to Remedy’s headquarters in
Finland to get hands-on with Jesse’s story,
and talk to the lead creatives about a game
that promises to be weirdly unique,
and uniquely weird.044 THE OFFICIAL XBOX MAGAZINE
