Control (2019) and Concrete: The Haunting Thingness of Digital Assets
Remedy Entertainment's Control (2019) is read here through cultural-historical, Visual Studies, and new materialist lenses as a game preoccupied with the strangeness of "things."
- The paper reads Remedy Entertainment's 2019 game Control through new materialist and thing-theory frameworks, arguing its Brutalist concrete environments, mundane objects, and sand-based materials stage a haunting encounter with the agency of matter.
- The central claim is that Control entangles players in the deep-time ontology of sand, the historical memory of Brutalism, and the infrastructural power of neoliberal "societies of control," producing an experience that is eerie, weird, and oppressive.
- The author positions the work as a corrective to Game Studies' perceived neglect of visuality and of games' representation of things, which has focused more on hardware and platform substructures.
