Harvakselaiset

Harvakselaiset refers to a group of people associated with the fictional setting of the video game Control, developed by Remedy Entertainment. They are a type of supernatural entity that manifests within the Oldest House, the shifting headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Control. Harvakselaiset are characterized by their unsettling appearance and erratic behavior. They often appear as distorted human figures, sometimes with multiple limbs or unusual facial features. Their presence is typically indicated by auditory hallucinations and a palpable sense of unease within the environment.

These entities are not explicitly described as enemies in the same way as Hiss corrupted individuals, but their unpredictable nature and the psychic disturbances they cause can pose a threat to Bureau agents. They are believed to be remnants or echoes of past events, individuals, or perhaps even abstract concepts that have become imprinted on the Oldest House's reality-bending architecture. Interaction with Harvakselaiset is generally discouraged, and agents are advised to avoid prolonged exposure to their vicinity. Their origins and exact nature remain somewhat mysterious within the game's lore, contributing to the pervasive sense of the uncanny that pervades the Oldest House.
