Control Resonant rewards players who read every document and memo

Control Resonant, the follow-up to Remedy Entertainment's 2019 game Control, places players inside the bureaucratic world of the Federal Bureau of Control, an agency that handles mysterious otherworldly phenomena. While reading in-game documents is largely optional, the game hides some of its richest storytelling details — including character-driven subplots and love stories — within its paperwork. The FBC is portrayed as a traditional government agency, meaning players encounter heavily redacted reports, memos, and internal communications throughout the game. Reviewers note that engaging with this optional written content significantly deepens the overall experience of the game.
