Introduction (Spoilers)

In Control you play as a civilian named Jesse Faden. Jesse Faden has been searching for a secret
agency named Federal Bureau of Control shortened to Bureau.

In 2002 she and her brother Dylan discovered a weird slide projector that had an ability to open doors to other dimensions. Jesse and Dylan would visit these dimensions frequently. in one of these dimensions they found an entity who could telepathically communicate to them. They named the entity to Polaris. Some of these dimensions were bad so they closed the slide projector with the help of Polaris.

Federal Bureau of Control sent a team to investigate this event in which Jesse and Dylan led them to the Slide Projector, at which point the Bureau attempted to lock them both. Jesse escaped, but Dylan was captured.

For next 17 years Jesse drifted between jobs and residences searching for the Bureau with Polaris.

On October 29, 2019, Jesse arrived in the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Control named
Oldest House guided by Polaris. Inside, Jesse founds janitor named Ahti that bypasses the lockdown and directs her to the office of the Director, Trench.

In Trench’s office, Jesse found that Trench had shot himself with his Service Weapon. She picks up the Service Weapon becoming the new director of the Bureau.

Jesse learns that the Oldest house was in a lockdown because it was invaded by a hostile force which Jesse referred to as “The Hiss”. Hiss has turned some Bureau agents into mindless slaves, but number of agents had survived thanks to a device called Hedron Resonance Amplifiers. Hiss cannot turn Jesse into a mindless slave thanks to Polaris which is some sort of a Hiss but not a bad one.

Jesse began working with the Bureau to stop the Hiss and the whereabouts of Dylan.

You play through Jesse killing the hiss with her service weapon. This service weapon also has mods and upgrades which makes weapon unique for your preference. End of the game you can have 3 weapons which have their advantages.

Also, Jesse founds abilities to

1. Launch objects to enemies with telekinesis.
2. Shield which allows Jesse to take more damage.
3. Seize which allows her to friendly hiss or fight with her.
4. Levitate which allows her to fly around the area for a short amount of time.

These abilities add gameplay which makes it even more fun. Also, you find people with different quests like

1. Emily Pope. She is Head of research of the Bureau. She can be asked about everything about the Bureau.
2. Ahti. He is Janitor of the Bureau. He asks you to clean stuff.
3. Simon Arish. He is Security Chief of the Bureau. He helps you turning NSC Power Plant on which acts as the central power for the entirety of the Oldest House.
4. Helen Marshall. She is Head of operations of the Bureau. She also helps you finding Dylan.

End of the game Jesse founds Dylan. He is infected by the hiss. Jesse tries to destroy Hiss from Dylan. After that he falls into a coma. This is one bad ending where you do not know what happens to next to Dylan and you need to buy downloadable expansions to continue the story.
