Maybe you’ve heard of Kamala Harris; she’s the current US vice president and very likely the Democratic party’s official presidential nominee for November’s US election. But now she’s firmly back in the spotlight, the mildly curious case of her secret life in developer Remedy’s 2019 action-adventure Control has resurfaced online.
You see, pinned to a whiteboard in an unassuming corner of The Oldest House – the transdimensional Brutalist office block at the heart of Control’s story – is a picture of a missing 40-year-old Bureau employee, Jane Farland, lost during one of the House’s shifts. Only, Photoshopped eyes aside, Jane Farland is the spitting image of Vice President Harris.
Harris’ surprise secret life as a fictitious video game character has been noted before – in this five-year-old Reddit thread, for instance – but the picture has started gaining traction again as Harris once again makes headlines thanks to her likely US presidential bid.
