— The Board

The Foundation is the first story mission of Control's expansion of the same name. It is preceded by the final base game main story mission Take Control and followed by The Nail.

Obtaining[]

It is automatically started upon loading the game for the first time after completing the final base game main story mission, Take Control.

Overview[]

Hotline call
Jesse receives a distress call from the Board about a crisis in the Foundation of the Oldest House.
Finding the Crossroads
Travelling through a strange doorway, she enters the Foundation, only to find that it's colliding with the Astral Plane. Jesse is also surprised to encounter Marshall here, both in person and over the Hotline.
Another challenge
Jesse finds the destroyed remains of a stone pillar, which the Board identifies as the Nail. Touching it takes her to the Astral Plane, where she must choose one, and only one, of the tools presented to her.
Mission end
The Board reveals that the damage to the Nail has resulted in the Astral Bleed, which threatens to destroy the Oldest House and everything in it. Jesse must fix the Nail by performing rituals to dismantle four "keys/locks" located throughout the Foundation. She gets to work.
