I've just gotta get more hard drive space to open it up.
I don't know if you've ever seen the show Fringe but I love it. Has a lot of Control vibes/flavor but came out years before. There's an episode of it where a guy is able to sort of 'predict' certain events that are about to happen. Some level of precognition. Gets these vividly intense visions of a particular event and has to make it via a diorama or some type of artistic expression. Episode explains what is going on with him and why he can hear it. There are also a few other letters scattered throughout the Bureau that seem to suggest there are some inate abilities in a lot of people. I don't know if I made this theory or read it in the game but I started to think that there were 'psykers' or something that the Bureau were keeping an eye on to be able to detect/notice various anomalies. Wondering if that poor fucker could be one of those.
Control had me begging for more and, luckily, it gave me more. The game having as many text docs as it does pissed off a few friends but made me ecstatic. SO MUCH LIVING IN THAT WORLD!
