Remedy Entertainment?s Control is a very strange game, but in the best of ways. It explores myriad ideas of a supernatural and science fiction nature, shaping them into a wholly unique experience. One of the title?s more unique qualities appears in the form of the ?Threshold Kids,? an incredibly creepy puppet show that works to explain some of the game world?s complex ideas. The show, which players view via VHS tapes, almost didn?t make the cut, however. Yet, its fascinating evolution throughout development ensured it received the green light.
According to Control?s Narrative Lead Anna Megill, who now works at Ubisoft, the Threshold Kids were born out of a desire to simplify the goings on in the Oldest House for Remedy employees. She explained as much in an interview with Fanbyte, noting that even some developers had a difficult time understanding the how the game world fucntioned.
