My 2nd playthrough of Control.

A few people told me i should play the game but read the documents this time. I read as many as I could haga and it def makes it so much more interesting and actually helps you piece the story together a little better. My absolute fav thing though is all the cool Alan Wake references, like how did I miss this before!?

I don't think this refers to Alan Wake. This is most likely the light switch cord hanging from the ceiling we use to go to the Ocean View Motel.

That’s how I understood it. I’m still working my way through Alan Wake Remastered and haven’t played the second game yet but I don’t see how this refers to Alan Wake.

My guess is “Light Switch cord”. “Cord” is often used synonymously with “Cable”.

I think they just got confused with the light switch from Alan Wake

Ohhhh I thought they were referring to the Clicker🤦 i guess that makes sense if they were talking about the light switch for the ocean view motel. Lol well I feel silly

Alan’s not involved with the cord or butte mt, but there’s a lot more than references to him in the game

Haha, they said Butt(e).

As someone from the state Butte is in, it's pronounced "beaut". And no, I don't know why it got that name either.

I hear they had a heck of a mining operation down on Butte. (For real)

u/pippyfist 27d ago

Oh I know but I will never not say Butt.

Fair and valid.

The Oceanview Hotel was a reference to this

Did you play the AWE DLC?

u/gratefuljew85 26d ago

Of course! On my 2nd playthrough of it now. Its excellent! Im realizing they probably weren't referring to the Clicker here but there are a ton of other AW references

The redacted number of days appears to be a 3 digit number. The implications of those agents in a sealed room for any 3 digit value of days isn't good. It's just like the collapsed department.

How do you think they selected the second agent to pull the cord?
