Control Resonant Dylan’s Sketchbook Pages and Scenes
Control Resonant has 11 Dylan’s Sketchbook pages, finished drawings that unlock when you stage a scene with nearby objects and have Dylan sketch it. There’s one or two in every zone except the Watchtower, and all 11 are needed for the Work-Life Balance trophy. Of everything in the game first whispered about as Control 2, these pages say the most about Dylan, and the Central interactive map of Control Resonant has two of them.
Map Master’s chief editor, Vlad Susanu, worked through every scene during his own playthrough, and our Control Resonant 100% roadmap links the rest of the game’s activities. Each page’s message is in the table, and the sections below explain how the scenes work, which names don’t match, and what the drawings reveal.
How Dylan’s Sketchbook Pages Unlock: Scenes, Not Pickups
You never find a page lying around. Each one unlocks the moment Dylan finishes drawing a scene you’ve arranged, and the puzzle side, from which objects to move to where they go, is in our Sketchbook Drawing scene guide. On the map, look for the scene, not a document.
Finished pages appear under Archives, then Collectibles, then Dylan’s Sketchbook, a menu that only shows up after your first scene. Four pages use a different name from their scene: the Cool Robot scene gives Robotics, Birdwatcher’s Paradise gives Rooftop Oasis, Spaceship Landing gives Space Adventure, and the Dragon scene gives The Dragon and The Knight.
Dylan’s Sketchbook Pages by Zone
Downtown, Central, the Evacuation Zone, and the Unknown have two pages each, while the West Incursion Zone, The Park, and the Underpass have one. The Control Resonant Downtown overview map has Beach Day and Rooftop Oasis, and the Evacuation Zone district map has Dream House and Robotics.
The later pages follow the story outward: the West Incursion Zone map of Manhattan has Halloween Party, The Park map in Control Resonant has The Dragon and The Knight in an underground station, the Underpass zone map has Space Adventure, and the Unknown district map has Game Night and Art Exhibition.
What Dylan Writes on the Back of His Sketchbook Pages
Every page has a short note on the back, and together they read like a list of the life Dylan missed while he was locked away. He wants to swim in the sea, hopes for a house with big trees and room for a dog, wonders if it’s too late to be an astronaut, and labels Halloween Party “how it should have gone.”
A few notes point at people. The Cat Picnic is signed “For Jesse”, with an apology that it’s not as good as the one in the book, and his sister’s side of things is in our Jesse Faden archive guide. Game Night wonders if Zoe likes board games, and Dream House’s dog wish lands differently once you’ve met the one in our Mysterious Dog locations.
Work-Life Balance Trophy and Dylan’s Sketchbook Missables
Work-Life Balance asks you to complete all 11 sketchbook drawings, and the full requirement is in our Control Resonant trophy breakdown. Because the pages spread across seven zones, including the Underpass and the Unknown, the set can’t be finished until the late game opens up.
No page is missable, since every zone stays reachable after the credits. Clear the Downtown and Central scenes early, then pick up each zone’s drawings as you arrive, which leaves only a short cleanup for the Underpass and the Unknown at the end.
