Game Description.
“The year is 1923. You play Edward Charles Harden, an American traveller who’s come to Norway to find his missing sister. But you’re never alone: every step of the way, Edward is accompanied by Lissie: a lively and enigmatic young woman with a mind of her own.
Together with Edward and Lissie, you must explore a forgotten coastal community nestled amongst the dark fjords and towering mountains of rural Norway, and unearth the terrible secrets that lie beneath the picturesque surface. And what begins as a quest for a missing woman becomes a journey into a painful past.”
Our geekiest reporter got to interview the Norwegian Voice Over Director, writer and game developer, and get to learn about his latest game, Draugen, his views on voice acting in videogames, and the meaning it has had in his own creations.
