"The lighting effects in Control are beyond words, and will most definitely utilize Nvidia’s new ray-tracing technology to its full potential. Floating bodies are basked in warped shadows thanks to rays of sunlight shining through blinds. It is a jaw-dropping sight as they sway peculiarly above the player-character, making you ponder their origin and marvel at the surreal, curious environment."
- VG247 spoke to Game Director, Mikael “Mixu” Kasurinen, about Control's story, exploring more about what drew Jesse Faden to the Federal Bureau of Control, and what the media that influenced the development process.
"'There are elements in the world we don’t understand, and that’s what the Bureau is doing – they’re trying to understand,' game director Mikael “Mixu” Kasurinen tells me. 'Sometimes they succeed, and sometimes they are baffled because it doesn’t seem to follow any logic or pattern. It was important to us that we created this unexpected, unsettling world. That’s the core premise.'”

Translated with Google Translate: "The subject of the powers was the emphasis in several parts of the demo, especially in the end, when the enemies that Jesse faced also had powers. The ability to fly will also help a lot in the exploration of the scenario, since a new part appears over the area of offices that we had previously visited, and other similar changes. The style with which everything is changing I like it a lot, since it is the most colorful, to see how the pieces are moving to create the new structure."
