Control is a video game. The player plays as Jesse Faden, director of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), which is in crisis, as swathes of its agents are possessed by an unknown supernatural force. The FBC is a secret government department that researches and contains "Altered Items", "Objects of Power" and the "Altered World Events" that they cause or come through. Most of the gameplay is Jesse fighting quasi-demonic possessees and manifestations, or solving puzzles, to re-take areas of her new department, to re-establish communication, and to investigate the causes of the events.
Plot
Jesse Faden, investigating the fate of her brother in an "altered world event" (AWE) that befell them both years ago, enters the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC) via the back exit, and by strange means, is appointed its director. The FBC is in lockdown since so many workers are possessed by unknown forces, and the player gradually retakes control of the FBC's headquarters, "The Oldest House", a sprawling place that seems to be an altered item itself.
Forklifts
Forklifts are scattered in many sections of the Oldest House, notably the maintenance section, and sometimes in places seemingly only accessible by stairs. When Jesse gains the ability to telekinetically lift and throw things, this includes the forklifts, which she (the player) can launch at enemies, friends or destructible objects, to significant effect.
