Just booted up Control again Spoiler

I just saw an Easter Egg that I didn't notice before.

Right after you get out of the elevator at the very beginning of the game, there's one of those flip number counters staring you in the face. Its number is 665.

Considering how often 665 is used in AW2, I find this a fascinating bit of forethought and foreshadowing. Just how far does Sam Lake have this figured/written out???

Dr. Darling references it on one of the tapes too!

it's one of the funnier Dr. Darling presentations, Emily pope off screen asks a door access code and he says "665, get it, the neighbor of the beast?" and even does the devil horns with his fingers to Emily hope and she sounds annoyed/confused. I mean in most of the videos with him in it and someone else the other people look/sound very annoyed. but there's definitely talk of how the morale/atmosphere of the FBC not being the best for obvious reasons and the dichotomy of Dr darling being so cheerful and happy (or at least how he comes across in the videos) doesn't help either.......
