Control resonant system creates a path that leads through the urban maze of paranormal battles. The implementation of Control Resonant brought about a major transformation in the series world construction method. The sequel for the first game used its secluded brutalist setting to create a hidden space while the sequel revealed the ordinary world beyond. Paranormal forces have turned Manhattan into a distorted maze through which players must navigate their journey. The developers use environmental elements to create an authentic base which enables viewers to see supernatural elements more clearly.
Built In Audio Logs: The system now enables players to gather narrative content while maintaining their ability to explore the environment. Players can now listen to audio logs while parkouring through the city or exploring hidden zones. The game presents its story progression through player movement across the entire game environment.
Dylan uses his radio to communicate with Zoe who serves as his handler. The mechanic enables Dylan to report his discoveries of citywide sightings and urban anomalies which develops interactive storytelling elements for the urban exploration experience.
The art team is intentionally avoiding references from other video games to prevent the sequel from falling into an aesthetic singularity common in high budget titles. Control Resonant establishes its visual identity through artistic exhibition spaces combined with scientific visualization methods and natural elements and cinematic techniques. The developers intend to establish distinctive elements in their sequel through their research beyond gaming which will differentiate it from other games.
The sequel features an entire world with historical background which replaces the FBC as the main faction from the first game. Multiple factions now battle for control of Manhattan territory in the game. Each area in the game contains these groups though their level of presence varies by location.
The developers increased the number of creatures in the game to create more challenging battles because players wanted to see better enemy diversity. The Hiss and Mold return alongside new entities.
