Control: Full Side Mission Gameplay – IGN First
Control's side missions are no joke. Remedy hasn't really made games with optional quests before, but it's not tip-toeing around for its first try. The Max Payne and Alan Wake creator has created an explorable world for its new supernatural shooter, and some of its darkest corners hide its toughest challenges. This is one such example.
As you travel through the Research floor of the Federal Bureau of Control's headquarters, The Oldest House, you might spot a hallway covered in... something. Following that... something leads you to a Bureau professor obsessed with an unusual mold that appears to be spreading through the House, and sends you (and your gun) on a trip to collect samples. As you might expect, it's doesn't work out quite as simply as that.
