The Control is a game firstly created a "local" Game Jam, at Ludus Academie in november 2019. The initial project had a potential with already few mechanics made during only one day. The idea of controlling an environnement and not an entity is at the center of idea.

The theme was "Fundamental order vs Integral Chaos", so the game is inspired by the physics fundamental interactions, but with some game design compromises. This is not a simulator, rather a proposition to mix knowns about quantum physics and game design experience about changing the main focus from an entity to an environnement.

The actual developpement stade of the project is EARLY_ALPHA. The last published version includes PRE_ALPHA features.

The project is still in developpement, which means that some major features are not included yet. 

The mandatory features are (non-exhaustive list):
