Control — The Foundation: maneki-neko cat secret

SPOILERS FOR THE CAT SECRET

Using a handy video by YouTuber Redemption Gaming, I tracked down all eight mysterious maneki-neko statues hidden in Control’s first major DLC, The Foundation.

I found four during my playthrough, but I doubt I’d have located the remaining four on my own—some are pretty convoluted and require multiple steps before their locations are revealed.

There are eight of these waving cats to be found, and collecting all of them nets you a pretty cool prize: cat ears for Jesse. The secret room where you pick them up is fantastic, too.
