FWIW, I’d urge you to give it a try. I generally don’t like “horror horror” games and I loved Control. The best TV parallel for me is neither x-files nor twin peaks (though the vibe is undeniably Lynchy) but rather “the lost room” from the early noughties, which is also worth a watch if you haven’t seen it and happen to like control’s vibe.
Comment on Super late to the party but Control is really good…

I heard it’s a spooky game, but is it spooky in Silent Hill way or Prey 2017 way?

Spooky like the X-files. Creepy, but still primetime tv.

I haven’t played either but from what I know of them much more toward Prey, yeah

I find the comparison to Prey very fitting. To me Prey was even a little scarier.
