Brief

Establish the foundations for a successful multiplayer franchise spin-off within the Control universe.

Insight

An irreverent co-op tone combined with an unconventional premise risked confusing both fans and newcomers. In session-based multiplayer, retention depends on clarity of purpose. Players do not buy tone, they buy function. When that function is unclear, the world feels arbitrary.

Solution

"Control the chaos." A brand platform built around the collision of ordinary and extraordinary, exaggerating the DNA of the world while giving players a clear role within it. Casting players as maintenance crew who must “Punch-In For The Paranormal Shift” anchored that purpose, reframing randomness as responsibility.
