me: I'm a homebody i like to stay at home!
the home:
muddles my perception of time
Changes in both size and distance
lulls me into sense of safety and twist it into an oppressive paranoia inducing hellouse-scape
compels me to forget my own autonomous existence
waters down the outside and/ or exaggerate it to mythical extent
shrinks front door perron when i ascend, jarringly draws it out when i descend.
all its windows views are other walls of itself
the backyard fence looms in every horizon
bitter to abandonment of what belongs under its roof, including me when i go out to buy some good ol orange fanta
doesn’t look for me under its roof, it always knows where I'm.
when it sleeps doors never open, i don’t know it’s sleeping schedule
whatever happens silently around the corners is real, my apprehension is valid and understandable, and indeed i should panic.

Some interesting things that Alan Wake 2 tells about the FBC
So, we can assume that the story of Control takes place in 2019, right?
Remedy seems to keep the timelines of their more recent games consistent with the times they release in, with the thirteen year gap between Alan Wake 1 and 2 being explicitly referenced multiple times.
I find that interesting because a piece of information about the FBC, more accurately about the Oldest House crew, is revealed to us in the game.
Both Agent Estevez and some of the Taken say that the Oldest House has "gone dark". Assuming that the Hiss outbreak happened not too long before Jesse showed up, the external lockdown of the Oldest House hasn't been lifted in 4 years?
What the hell is going on in there?!?!?!
God, I'm so hyped for Control 2

The Oldest House doesn't like new technology - it tends to explode once it gets through the front door...

Sucker for fictional buildings
Sucker for buildings with infrastructure so intricate and delicate and alive that it might aswell be one massive artificial organism. Sucker for buildings that pull themselves together like an animal waking up from an eons long slumber. A building that hums and sings to no one but itself, it's architects long gone, left to build itself out of itself, devouring and regurgitating itself forever.
Sucker for buildings that rot. For buildings that shriek with hatred as if they truly do feel it. Monoliths that work against you as if they have a will of their own. Monoliths that fear you and dread you because you're the only thing capable of pulling it apart plate by plate.
Architecture that wasn't built with you in mind - architecture that wasn't built at all, but sprouted on it's own and was bent to suit the design of those that inhabited it.
Ones that don't play along. That twist themselves only to pull you further in like the lure of an anglerfish. Buildings that use people, not the other way around.
I don't know what it is, but whenever a piece of media depicts a place as alive - I ALWAYS eat that shit up. Comparisons drawn between infrastructure and organism. Pipes and wiring and veins and nerves and neurons. Scaffolding and bone. Door and maw. Room and cavity. All groaning and churning and moving and creaking. Mindless and, sometimes, purposeless. But what if that body was granted a mind? Would it think of the humans that pass through it as it twists it's own hallways in impossible directions? Is our relationship with it symbiotic, or parasitic? Would we be welcomed or rejected? Would it need us around, if it could build itself?
It's such a fun concept in fiction methinks.

I hope that Control 2 actually lets you leave the Oldest House and investigate AWEs.
I liked exploring the House in the first game, but I think side quests outside the bureau HQ would make for an interesting addition alongside internal bureau alerts and helping Ahti with his janitorial work. (THE CLOG!)
If anyone at Remedy is reading this, TAKE NOTES!!!!!
