We'd love to make an Alfie plushie happen if there's enough interest! We explored this with @makeship.bsky.social, but before we look for other options, who has a warm home for our little therapy bot?
❤️ = yes
💬 = I would buy this

So grateful we got to work with @marajunot.bsky.social on Arctic Awakening! Her performance as Naomi brought heart and humanity to the coldest parts of the game. Couldn’t imagine it without her contributions.

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.

Holly only needed one voice session. That’s how good @ciacourtvo.bsky.social is! Sharp, funny, and full of surprises, she brought our favorite conspiracy theorist to life in ways we never expected. 🛰️

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🎭

From Sonic to Spider-Man, you’ll recognize @davebmitchell.bsky.social's voice from some of your favorite games. In Arctic Awakening, he delivers a truly remarkable performance as your missing co-pilot. It was always a joy working with Dave over the last few years!
