  To clarify, the shoebox isn&apos;t cloned or duplicated. The FBC found out that ANY shoebox tested could resist alterations to reality. One guy pulled one out of his closet at home and tested it. Zane making this shoebox loophole accoddntly affected literally any shoebox in the world.

  A cool little thing about the title, CONTROL...<br><br>Dylan was taken in by the FBC and groomed for the Director program. Darling mentions that &quot;the girl&quot; also has potential Director potential. So the FBC keeps tabs on her, tracking her movement, behavior et cetera.<br><br><br>So essentially... The FBC is doing an experiment. Dylan is the one they&apos;re directly working on, and Jesse is the CONTROL group. Y&apos;know, like one would have in an experiment or study.<br><br><br>Idk how much this holds water canonically, but I think it&apos;s a pretty neat, alternative interpretation of the title lol

  Re-listening to all the Remedy-verse videos and I am convinced the Anchor that speeds up time in Control is from that boat in Quantum Break

  I wish I had friends that were this attentive when I explain Control.

  I took Darlings singing debut at the end of the game to be a representation of his ascension to a higher plane of thought. The song is the only way he can communicate with her from this place.

  I have to say, as a Finn, Ahti&apos;s accent is EXTREMELY authentic, especially older folk here speak English in that accent, some of us call it &quot;Ralli Englanti&quot; or &quot;Rally English&quot; due to how so many Finnish rally drivers had very thick accent like that

  Something that didn&apos;t get mentioned is that when you&apos;re following Ahti to get the cassette player is the one time in the main game you don&apos;t exit through the black pyramid door in the Oceanview Motel, but the door marked Janitor at the back of the entry hall.

  One extra thing I just found out, in the side mission where Jesse goes into the mirror and fights a mirror version of herself, all the dialogue is reversed. Reversing that dialogue to make them legible, one of the mirror-Jesse&apos;s lines is &quot;I&apos;m much Wilder than you&quot;.

  Dylan : In fact, I am having a dream right now. In this dream, I am standing in a corner, watching Jesse and Dylan talk about this very dream. &quot;This very dream&quot;, he said just now. And repeated it again now. I&apos;m standing &nbsp;there and watching, and that&apos;s all I can do...&quot;<br><br>Said while the player watches from the Corner camera angle.

  RE Magnus Archives, in their recent interview on Magnus Protocol,Alex mentioned how playing Control helped him realize post of how they needed to write Protocol and was an impetus to create Protocol after Archives. Just found the comments here about how Control reminded y&apos;all of Archives funny after hearing that interview.

  Monty voices in this episode are outstanding. The horror of Threshold Kids is conveyed perfectly
