One of my favorite moments from this whole journey was showing an early build of Arctic Awakening in an underground bar in Tokyo to a crowd of Nintendo, PlayStation, Pokémon, and indie devs. Almost no English in the room, but we all vibed over a shared love of games. #indiedev #gamedev

From our very first voice session way back in 2022, we knew that Jason Maniccia was Kai. His theatre background helped him to capture the depth and subtle emotions of the player character🎭 #indiedev #voiceactor
