Why does dylan call it "the hiss" ?

Why does dylan call it "the hiss" ?

If the word "the hiss " was invented by emily and jesse at the start of the game , then why does dylan refer to it as a dream in one of his dialogues? Sorry if its a stupid question ; i havent finished the game yet ...

If Former doesn't show up in Resonant, I'll be extremely sad and disappointed.

Why would anyone work for FBC?

Seriously, who in their right mind would ever want to work for the Federal Bureau of Control? I can't imagine anyone doing it without being under duress, unless FBC has the best healthcare plan and 401K.

It's the single craziest part of RCU. Even technicians can't catch a break. In your entire career, you're going to fight paranatural criminals, manage AWEs, and every horror imaginable to mankind. There's a risk you might get turned into a frog.

Don't consume the mold

Hey guys am I crazy for thinking the mold is the shape those in Control of us want us to take, like, a pun, because words?

After 2+ months of waiting, this art book finally arrived to join my RCU collection!

I'm so excited that I finally got this book! It was incredibly difficult to have it delivered to my country, even though I live in Europe.

Is it confirmed who wrote the Tennyson Report?

I strongly suspect Langston, but was it ever officially confirmed in an interview or such?

Control and ARC Raiders both use the ITC Avant Garde font

I knew it seemed familiar, took me a while to realize.

Resonant DLC

What would you guys feel about a control DLC like resident evil 4 separate ways? Following jesses side of the story and with a gamplay closer to the first one?

This is how you should handle scalpers

With the Control Artbook reprint being available again, FuturePress also released a statement regarding the reasons for the delay, and make it their goal that every fan should be able to get one at MSRP.
In the current scalper economy where any somewhat desireable product is being bought out by scalpers the second after release, it is really refreshing to see at least someone trying to fight back.

Also the Artbook is a 3kg chonker full of detailed artwork and interviews, and a must-have for control fans. So if you still don't have one, now is the time

It's Great That the Art Book is Being Reprinted, but Sucks for Those Not in Europe and the US.

No shipping to anywhere outside Europe/US is irritating. "This is a reprint for the fans," yeah, righto. I'm a fan and I can't get it, so make it make sense.

It's back in stock!

Text from their Facebook page:

The response to the reprint of The Art and Making of Control has been much stronger than we anticipated, and we’re very sorry that some customers are currently waiting longer than expected. We are moving stock between regions and preparing additional copies to meet demand, which unfortunately takes a little time.

Please rest assured that your copy is reserved, and your order will be fulfilled. In some cases, delivery may take until early August, as some orders will need to wait until a final smaller reprint is ready to ship.

We’ve also seen copies appearing on resale platforms at heavily inflated prices. Please don’t feel pressured to pay those prices. This reprint was made for fans, and our goal is to make sure everyone who wants a copy can get one directly from us at the regular price.

Lastly, an unfortunate bug on our website temporarily prevented the book from being available in recent weeks. This has now been fixed, the book can be purchased again, and it’s not too late to place an order. Our promise to fulfil all orders also applies to orders placed today and over the coming weeks.

Thank you very much for your patience and support.

[Theories] What are you theories about Chester Bless?

This isn't just about whether or not he'll show up in Resonant, and if so in what capacity (although that's also something I'd like to hear if you've got it). I mean in-universe story theories. Who is he, what's his end goal, stuff like that?

So, I have a few theories that I think are fairly solid in terms of likeliness:

-Chester Bless is a pseudonym; his real name is something else.

-Building off of that, the reason for his pseudonym is because he's a former FBC agent.

-He's joined up with another paranatural entity, like Jesse with Polaris.

Those are just what I think are very likely. Some other ideas I have are less solid, but I feel like are possibilities:

-Building off the "former FBC" theory, he has beef with Trench and/or Darling.

-He wants to tear down the FBC over some major ideological differences. He's something of a Northmoor loyalist who's more about the esoteric vs the scientific.

-He has spies within the FBC, including some who were involved in the Prime Candidate Program.

So, here's my theory on how Bless fits into Resonant:

Chester Bless has a messianic complex. He believes he and his parautilitarians are the ones who should be in charge of the world. A case of "You need to give us control so we can protect you." He and his Blessed have been trying to find Objects of Power to bind to, and other parautilitarians to join them. Through his spies in the FBC, he learned about the Faden siblings. Like the FBC, he secretly spied on them. He believed that they're the strongest ones he knew about. He wanted them to be his right hand. Specifically Dylan, because he thought Jesse would be too independent and resistant. He sees Dylan as "the weaker one." The one he could shape to be his successor.

But that's just my theory. What are your theories about Chester? Do you think we'll learn more about him in Resonant?
