Control revolves around a secret US government agency that studies and contains phenomenon of a supernatural nature.

You play as Jesse Faden, an agent with psychic abilities that allows her to, among other things, fling objects from the environment at enemies.

The game won praise from critics and bagged a bunch of awards, including the Critics’ Choice Award at the 2019 Golden Joysticks.
