Thankfully, opportunity knocked. I was able to get into an interview with two important people behind the game. Sam Lake is the game’s writer, and was also the writer for Max Payne, Alan Wake, and Quantum Break. I also got to talk with Courtney Hope, who voices Control‘s main character Jesse Faden.
