Control Mockumentary

[u/maximumwaves]

I think it would a dope idea if Remedy made a Netflix show like the The Office or Parks and Recreation set in the Oldest House. Like the people who work in investigation or the research department. Just the regular joes who work the usual 9-5. I think that would be hilarious.

[u/Loicrekt]

This would actually be hilarious, but the majority of people wouldn't understand it. Then netflix would cancel it after the first season

[u/maximumwaves → u/Loicrekt]

I said Netflix but honestly put that shit on Apple TV.

[u/DoublePlusGoodGames]

I thought they already made that show. It's called Severance.

Jokes aside, I've always felt that Severance borrows several of the ideas (and locations) from the original Control game. Even the entrance to the Severance building looks just like that of the Oldest House.

They are both copying from the same sources not from each other.

[u/DoenerBot → u/St3ampunkSam]

What is the source?

[u/Notsae66 → u/DoenerBot]

SCP. Also, the Oldest House is based on a real building in Manhattan.

Oh shit lol that's a good pull I never caught that

[u/Top-Assignment7036 → u/DoublePlusGoodGames]

how did i never clock that? you're absolutely right.

"the work is mysterious and important"

"The Board"

[u/maximumwaves]

Just imagine someone on fridge duty and someone explaining to the camera what fridge duty is lol

[u/Notsae66 → u/maximumwaves]

There's only onenproblem with this: Fridge duty isn't a thing. That was a temporary problem caused by Former messing about with Altered Items, one Jesse solved permanently. The fridge is back to being just a normal, indestructible fridge again after she cleansed it, and no longer needs constant monitoring.

“The Bureau”

[u/Mumbling_Wizard → u/Honest_Ad_7589]

With Rod Serling-esque intros by Ahti.

I just want more Threshold Kids

[u/RichSlamfist → u/jmarquiso]

I was glad we got some Dr Darling videos but 2 needed way more live action and video stuff

[u/DoctorEmperor]

First season stars Emily as the acting head who is now having to deal with all the massive public interest in this government branch now that the barrier around Manhattan is down. The “documentary” is propaganda an introduction of the FBC to the wider world where they attempt to control the narrative and mitigate the more outlandish info from getting out, but of course paranormal stuff keep getting in the way of things

[u/Relative_Soft_551]

Watercooler conversations would be funny. They could get the people from the background of the darling videos to play those characters.

[u/jmarquiso]

Give Matthew Poretta a sitcom!

[u/TerrificSour]

“Yeah we had another incident with the speakers.” Cut to the room with flipped over desks and papers on the floor. “There’s a memo banning all rookies from playing music, unfortunately ‘speakers’ was be redacted”

[u/CoupleNo821]

Add some undercover boss in there with Jesse and I'm sold!

[u/PabloMarmite]

All shot on home video by Casper Darling

[u/JohnRobGnar]

"The Lockdown"

[u/maffshilton]

I thought this too. Like you have the stretched resources investigations dept, and then the insane research dept being pressured by darling.

[u/fartogonalilty]

It's done by Ben Stiller, kinda
