Maybe someone will do a build inspired by the black pyramid in game called Control. Black granite with gold veins on the frame of the case. Dark black tint on the glass panels with red led lighting.

It's a brilliant game, with a lot of metaphysical conspiracy scp mumbo jumbo, but unfortunately, it's brilliance is hidden behind a lot of collectibles you have to read or spend time listening to. Games that do that can be hit or miss with people.

u/scaylos1 Jan 27 '23
As others said, it is supposed to be that way. It's, story-wise, in the genre called "weird fiction". The genre can be a bit broad in scope but, frequent themes are unknowable supernatural beings/horrors, conspiracies, and human insignificance within the uni/multi-verse. Not all stories are as much into the retro sci-fi direction as Control but I enjoy those a lot, personally.
While there is a lot of horror in Control, I really appreciate how they erode the suspension of disbelief by making things so convoluted and especially enjoy the complete piss take on redaction of INTERNAL classified documents (even more so after listening to an interview on IRL document classification and censorship, which seems almost a parody of the level on Control).

Has nothing to do with this, but anybody remember that one game "Quantum Break" where you could control time or whatever?
I feel like I'm the only one who remembers it. I bought my Xbox One with it. I don't remember what it was about because I was 7 (This was 2014, yes, you're all old) and only played an hour through it but I remember you could slow down time.
