Censored information on documents?

[onebunchmugen]

Are those censored information on case files and records gonna be revealed in the late game? Those censored words sometimes make me so courious and piss me off at the same time. I really hope to know what happened in those cases.

They stay redacted because lore and immersion.

That's part of the writing style, they are left for the readers to imagine. If you are familiar with the articles of the SCP foundation (and if not, I suggest you start reading them), the game is heavily inspired from them. Also some elements are █████ in order to prevent players who haven't accessed ██████████ or who aren't yet eligible to ██████.

It'll become clear soon, once we get to the ███████████.

Yeh they're still redacted throughout. I remember one of the first ones I read I was like "WTF - something about a shark appearing in a board meeting" but it was so redacted I didn't know what was really going on.

IF I remember correctly (BIG if...)

I think there are a handful of documents that are related ro eacother that kind of fill-in SOME of the missing gaps. Like by reading a little bit of A and B you get a fuller picture as to what happened. But only a couple.

And another document or two references mission one of the NPCs you meet discusses.

It's the point, the ambiguity of so many things without real answers is what Control is based around.

Certainly Jesse could access some, if not all, unredacted versions now that she's the director? Of course, she or someone else would have to look for them which might be a daunting task. It would be nice to have that happen but I get the concept of leaving blanks to fill in. It's a major theme in the game. I'd rather know more about the janitor myself.

However, to satisfy your need to know might I suggest the SCP Foundation? Much of what control is was inspired by that creative website and much of the cases files and information in it are presented in a similar fashion and, more importantly, unredacted. It doesn't contain the game stuff, but it really cool reading and can suck you in.

Control is heavily inspired by SCP foundation - a community driven wiki project about fictional internation organization, that tries to capture and isolate supernatural objects, areas and phenomena.

The typical form of writing in this wiki - is article imitating classified document, with censored parts. It follows such template: codename of the object, codename of hazard level, instructions for containment and related procedures, followed by description of an object, history of the first encounter with it, and incident reports.
