Our take on Control Over
The bounce point comes when progress depends on interpreting the mansion’s objects, conversations, and hidden truths. Players looking for direct action may hit a wall once the experience asks them to decide how the story should be solved.
What is Control Over?
A person suffering from memory loss regains consciousness beneath a mansion.
Players guide this character through the building, examine its contents, and piece together concealed information. Talks with a professor, an actor, and another captive provide additional clues. An unidentified girl and a distant, unexplained voice add to the mystery. Players choose how to resolve the narrative while resisting forces that disturb the protagonist’s thoughts. The outcome follows those decisions, leading through startling revelations and new choices before the story reaches its conclusion.
