To help fund their incredible projects, the New York Video Games Critic Circle have recently listed a number of rare collectables on their Ebay page, including a special set. Hidden among the gems is a CONTROL Resonant-themed bundle, complete with tote bag, t-shirt, FBC mug, and luggage strap.
At the time of writing, there are eighteen bids, with the listing currently set at $81. There's still plenty of time to put in a bid, though, with the listing due to end on Tuesday (midnight BST).
The collection features a number of rare convention-specific merchandise. Included...
- A black tote bag printed with the CONTROL Resonant logo in bold white ink
- A luggage strap which shows a repeated pattern of the game and studio logos, and a large, easy-to-use clip. When not in use, you can store the strap in the pouch, which also bears the game's logo.
- A matt black mug with the FBC logo in stark white
- A Rare black t-shirt available only at conventions.
The t-shirt is listed as a small and features a stylish red print against a black background. If you've already played the game, you may recognise the art from The Enemy Of My Enemy mission featuring a pensive Arish and the perilously balanced CFD at the top of the Evacuation Site. An early teaser for attendees at Gamescom, the shirt has extra meaning once the game has been completed.

The money raised through their Ebay listings helps fund their community-driven programs, including Playing with Purpose, which provides a stepping stone into game development by bringing comprehensive classes and workshops in journalism and game narrative to schools and homeless shelters across New York. Through it, they have helped support fresh talent through semester-long games writing and journalism classes with Bronx and Brooklyn students, resulting in scholarships. Though NYCC has a wider reach in the city, it arranges game development talks in local libraries and mentors older adults with VR to take them on trips they can no longer take.
