CONTROL - Exploring the New Weird

CONTROL is one of the greatest games of the past decade - but more than that - it is also an exciting celebration of the New Weird. Just what is the New Weird? In this video, I attempt to answer this and more while keeping the spoilers as light as possible.

Correction: for some reason I kept calling Johnny Truant 'Harry' when recording the audio - and I think I somehow edited my memories to believe that name was correct. Please note that whenever I say 'Harry', I really mean 'Johnny'.
