** From ''The Art and Making of Control'':
*** Building Shifts were intended to be more integral to the gameplay and exploration, but a lot of them never made it past prototyping as they presented too many complex technical issues. Several ideas were passed to make the Oldest House feel "alive" by manifesting in unpredictable weather, climate, and other aspects of nature. Another semi-preserved idea was that the further away a player was from a Control Point, the chaotic shifting would be more common, which made it into the final cut as Control Points being areas where the Hiss would be purged from infecting the Oldest House.
*** Design director Stuart Macdonald pitched an idea that the BottomlessPits of [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds the Firebreaks]] actually led down to the Foundation of the Oldest House, and that when you're in the Foundation, you could look up and see "slots" in the sky, full of debris that mounted up over the years, such as "keys that had fallen out of people's pockets."
*** The earliest idea for [[RealityBleed a threshold merge]] into the Oldest House was a large office space covered in moss, which was eventually reworked into the Mold Threshold.
*** Many ideas for Objects of Power were tested: one of the first was a Model Solar System that would be placed in the center of a room and cause it and everything inside to rotate through disproportionate gravitational force. The idea made it past prototyping, but it was cut midway through development as a huge "rotating room" too had its issues, including being [[NauseaFuel nausea-inducing]].
*** Earliest designs of Jesse had her go in more of a punk-inspired direction, with many iterations featuring flashier dyed hair, jean jackets with big, hand-drawn symbols on the back, and a ScarfOfAsskicking.
*** [[spoiler:Dylan]] being [[BaldOfEvil bald]] wasn't decided on until later on, with most of his early concepts showing him with a full head of hair. He was also a lot more aggressive and "Franchise/HannibalLecter-like in tone" to display the Hiss' effects on him, but a lot of this changed when Sean Durrie was cast into the role, [[ActorInspiredElement who made the character much more subtle and creepy in his own way.]]
*** Marshall had the second most iterations after Jesse -- originally she was envisioned as "a sort of retro witch", acting as a fantasy-inspired version of a [[EliteArmy Ranger]] focusing on ritualistic elements, whose appearance and flashy wardrobe were heavily influenced by Iris Apfel. This fantasy-inspired direction was eventually downplayed, and Marshall became a more of a functional, no-nonsense leader.
*** Arish's character was originally meant to be a woman, keeping up [[OnlySaneMan a no-nonsense and practical attitude even as the Oldest House around her was in shambles]]. The character was changed and reworked once Creator/RonanSummers was cast. Langston was also pitched in concept art [[ColorblindCasting to be of any various appearances and race]] before settling on Creator/DerekHagen.
