The game uses a diction based voice recognition system to allow the player to interact with the AI via several different pieces of equipment. The entity will be listening at all times and will respond to predetermined phrases as well. At game launch, English will be the only supported language for voice recognition. However, there will be an in-game action wheel to access the spoken phrases.
