“I’ve been wanting to get more involved in video games for years because games do something in storytelling that movies and literature don’t: They encourage people to play an active role in the story,” said Howard. “What I love about this game is that, even though our voices are guiding you through the narrative, you’re still the one that needs to figure out how to solve the puzzles in order to finish the story.”
Annapurna has shown a knack for tapping Hollywood talent in games. 2019’s mystery title Telling Lies, developed by Sam Barlow, featured a cast headlined by Logan Marshall-Green, Angela Sarafyan, Kerry Bishe and Alexandra Shipp.
The Hollywood Reporter was the first to report the casting.
