About Control — Oldest House
Control is Remedy's 2019 action game set inside the Oldest House, the shapeshifting brutalist headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Control. Its visual ground is bare board-formed concrete — raw gray walls and coffered ceilings of 1960s Federal offices under cold, indistinct light.
Cutting through that institutional gray is the Hiss: a supernatural red glow that bathes corrupted rooms and levitating bodies. The look is monumental and bureaucratic, every surface heavy and weighty, every accent a single violent red against stone.
