Remedy: The Board's Speech in Control Resonant Is Gibberish, Not a Language
Audio lead Lucas Pierrot says The Board's dialogue has no real meaning, with subtitles alternating similar words and pulses emphasizing key terms.
Remedy's audio lead Lucas Pierrot has confirmed that The Board's speech in Control Resonant is intentionally nonsensical and does not belong to any real language, according to Eurogamer.
Pierrot explained that the entity's dialogue is essentially gibberish, and that the subtitles alternate between different words for similar concepts so that its speech carries no definitive meaning.
The audio team also added a pulse sound and a low, soft kick to emphasize certain words, giving The Board's delivery a distinctive cadence without tying it to a real language.
The Board is an alien entity with unclear morals and motivations that serves as a memorable stylistic element in both Control and Control Resonant.
