The text 'Sara plays CONTROL, episode 16' is overlaid with Sara's avatar. The background is of two shadowy figures crossfading.
It’s time to dive into the final DLC before wrapping up Control for real. As it seems to lay the groundwork for a sequel, does it do enough to encourage us that Control 2 might redeem the politics of the main quest’s ending?

We find Marshall at last, and the tension between Former and the Board seems like it will underpin Control 2. If tensions rise between Jesse and the Board, could this undermine the FBC as a whole in the sequel? We can only hope…

been just over a week since this gem dropped on YouTube, go show it some love and leave a comment with your Lynchian thoughts
The image text reads 'Sara plays Control, episode 9.' Overlaid is Sara's avatar, and the background is an image of Jesse looking through caged bars at a reflection of herself.
Jesse finally gets to talk to her brother Dylan, but it isn't as cathartic or as illuminating as she hopes it will be. To process, we take her on a long walk around the Oldest House and help Ahti with his janitorial work...

Gonna do tomorrow at this time instead!!! Sorry for the runaround 😂
Apologies for the short hiatus! Sara is gonna stream some more Silent Hill f tomorrow at 6.30pm GMT

May I suggest the music made by a Palestinian composer? It's none other than MARKSYE who you should be familiar with from games like Boyfriend Dungeon, Thirsty Suitors and more marskye.bandcamp.com
The image text reads 'Sara plays Control, episode 8.' Overlaid is Sara's avatar, and the background is an image of a document about Zachariah Trench, the previous FBC director.
Sara has been bravely playing this name on default difficulty, but starts having trouble killing the evil boss mushroom, and it's time to utilise the accessibility settings!

Game Assist consistently deliver some of the most thorough and insightful political criticism in games. Really can't wait to get to this one.
The image text reads 'Sara plays Control, episode 7.' Overlaid is Sara's avatar, and the background is an image of FBC's logo, blurry with strong red lighting. It feels a little foreboding.
Resuming our search for Jesse's brother Dylan (then quickly getting sidetracked once again), we find him in an area of the Oldest House chillingly named "the panopticon"... sound the Foucault klaxon everyone!

Sara is playing Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks: they're in a black suit jacket, white shirt and black tie with their hair gelled back like Cooper. They're half sitting up in bed, looking like they've just woken up from a dream.
A Playstation 5 controller, being held in two hands and looming over a windowsill, in the dark.
A view from a window, of a small, mysterious figure stood with their back to the camera, in a courtyard in the night.
Sara as Cooper, speaking into a dictaphone.
In the spirit of David Lynch, we’ve done some out-of-the-box stuff compared to what we usually do on the channel, including a couple of Lynch-inspired skits we hope you’ll enjoy… Here’s a sneak peek of one of them...
The image text reads 'Sara plays Control, episode 6.' Overlaid is Sara's avatar, and the background is an image of Dr Raya Underhill, being looked at by us over Jesse's shoulder. Underhill has a placid expression with a slight smile.
At the behest of Jesse's problematic lesbian girlfriend , Sara gets sidetracked and heads off in search of Dr Underhill, a rude English researcher who wants to boss us around. For some reason we end up fighting supernatural mushrooms. Just another day at the FBC!
