Who is that?
Expanding on what rustyfish wrote: a lot of wired stuff happens in those games and Ahti never acknowledges any of it. He is the janitor and he is mopping the floor. He will ask you to fetch something mundane like a tool from the basement which by pure coincidence is the exact place and time you need to be to save the world. He appears in places he should never have been able to get to. You had to fight through many enemies to get there, Ahti is just there.
He is the janitor of the universe, making sure things are how they should be. And then he goes to sing songs at the community center.
Not yesterday's grouses's son, that's for sure.
That’s Ahti. A recurring character in Remedy games. I saw him first in Alan Wake 2 and just met him in Control. I’m not sure if he is just some kind of human anomaly or a god. But he is a fan favourite and a treasure ❤️
Edit: Also he has the heaviest finish accent I’ve ever heard. To the point his clues sound more like riddles to an English speaking person. Which comes from him trying to use Finish proverbs or even grammar while speaking English.
Thanks!
