How to transform a Shakespeare soliloquy from a gorgeous ballad of love and loss into the chilling stuff of nightmares:
- Whisper it
- Play it backward
BioShock Infinite features hidden dialogue in its Possession Vigor, both in the scene where players first encounter the stuff, and when it’s used to possess enemies. It’s a line from Romeo and Juliet, played backward and whispered: “Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow’d [night] / Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die / Take him and cut him out in little stars.”
