He is seen trapped inside a chamber, where he notes that something has changed and asks the Alan Wake 2 The Lake House protagonist to give Jesse his message. In his message to his sister, Dylan is seen saying, “I tried”. The trailer also shows several scenes from what appear to be different areas players will get to explore in Control 2. Going by the locales shown during the teaser, it seems that players will be visiting places outside of the Oldest House, the FBC’s paranormal headquarters.
