About CONTROL Resonant
After years of confinement by the Federal Bureau of Control, Dylan Faden emerges into a Manhattan reshaped by a cosmic crisis. He must confront the chaotic Hiss, invasive Mold, and other paranatural threats while searching for his sister, Director Jesse Faden.
The game blends action, adventure, and RPG progression as Dylan masters new powers, wields the shapeshifting melee weapon Aberrant, and navigates perception‑bending districts. All of this unfolds in a single‑player experience that expands the CONTROL narrative beyond the Oldest House.
