The Board, an enigmatic alien entity featured in Control and Control Resonant, communicates through a unique, bass-heavy language that has long sparked fan theories. Despite the intense scrutiny from players attempting to decipher its true meaning, developer Remedy has clarified that these vocalizations are intentionally designed to be nonsensical.
Audio lead Lucas Pierrot explained that The Board's speech is essentially gibberish rather than a structured language. This design choice allows players to project their own interpretations onto the audio, hearing praise or disdain based on their personal perspective during gameplay. The subtitles further complicate matters by alternating between different terms for similar concepts, preventing any definitive translation.
To achieve a range of emotional responses, including feelings of fear or humor, the audio team utilized specific production techniques. Pierrot noted that they incorporated pulse sounds and soft, low-frequency kicks to emphasize specific words. These elements serve as a rhythmic trick to provide punctuation and flow to the entity's oblique speech patterns.
Control Resonant has achieved significant commercial success for Remedy, becoming the studio's fastest title to reach 1 million sales. For those currently playing, resources such as Eurogamer's walkthrough are available to assist with upgrade paths and activity prioritization.
