How to unlock the Workplace Recreation achievement in Control - Definitive Guide

You find the arcade machine in the ACTIVE INVESTIGATIONS ROOM, after you've first encountered Hartman. The machine seems to have two modes, CROWD CONTROL and DEADLINE.

The description says, you need to play an arcade game.... but it looks like you actually have to complete one game successfully.

I got it on Crowd Control (surviving enemy hordes).

If you're struggling (and you don't mind feeling like you're cheating), just turn on assist mode. It will be a breeze.

Once you complete a game, you unlock the achievement and the other arcade machine lights up as well with five new game modes!

Can you use assist mode for ALL achievements, or just this one?

It looks like it works with all achievements. I've unlocked a bunch with assist mode on.

I got every base game achievement (except one or two) with assist mode on. The game was too hard for me without it, and I would've given up on the game if I hadn't found it.

I can confirm this does unlock using all assists available, including one hit kill and invincibility. Easy peasy then.

You can find the Shüm arcades in Active Investigations. Only playing either Deadline or Crowd Control will net you this achievement. They consist of these arcade modes:
  • Crowd Control - horde mode until bar is filled up from defeating enemies
  • Crowd Control (Challenge) - same as above but with tougher enemies
  • Deadline - defeating enemies will add 5 seconds to the timer
  • Deadline (challenge) - adds only 3 seconds when killing or seized enemies
And this arcade unlocks after beating a level in Shüm:

Shüm 2
  • Former
  • The Anchor
  • Mold-1
  • esseJ
  • Feedback Loop
  • Ashtray Maze
Note: After beating all arcade modes, you'll receive the Extradimensional Suit.

You don’t need to play, but rather win in one of the modes on the SHUM machine

The machine is located in the “active investigations” section; you will actually find it after the first meeting with Hartman. The machine has two game modes: kill 50 enemies in the allotted time (for each killed, 5 seconds are added, before you finish) and survive waves of enemies (I don’t remember how many, about 10). The timed mode seemed easier to me, I couldn’t get through waves of enemies, but there is one big BUT, with this update the game received a patch that allows you to enable immortality, one-shot kills, endless energy, etc., well, that’s all with these legal cheats becoming, as you understand, an easy walk, their use does not affect getting the trophy in any way, I myself went through waves of enemies with immortality, received the trophy and only then tried, for the sake of sport, the temporary mode without cheats (I passed it on the 3rd attempt). You can activate cheats in the menu: parameters - gameplay, scroll down, help mode.
