Hey!

We heard a lot of positive feedback about our voiceover! We are really happy about it and want you to meet our voice actors!



The Original. The Legend. Dr Katz originally is voiced by Ali Gohar. We made a lot of iterations to perfect the cat speech of mad scientists. The main reference for a character was Dock Brown from "Back to the Future" and various cartoon cats.

As a result, we got a great voiceover which Ali himself rated as "This is PURRRFECT!" after playing the game and we used his voice as a reference to all other languages.

So here we got a bit lucky twice. I have a few friends in "Maly Theatre" in Moscow and some of them recommended Artem Zatiev to us. He is not only a voice actor (agent ISO in Valorant for example) but also an actor in Theatre and Cinema.

And the second time we got lucky because we have a great character reference for all Russian speakers - "Matroskin the Cat" from "Three from Prostokvashino". This cartoon is not only famous but also beloved by all Russian people.

• @art_zatiev in Instagram
  

And with Chinese localization we also got lucky. The man behind the Chinese version of Dr Katz is a member of our team - Peter Weng. Peter has been working with us since While True Learn() and among other things he is the author of Chinese localization for both games. When we tried to find an actor for this role he volunteered and the result is great!



Hold on, this voice isn't in the game yet. At least not publicly available. But it is done and will be released next week. Sadly we can't add a sample to the news, but trust me, it will be glorious.

There is more? Yes! Korean and French localizations are being recorded and will be added in a patch or two. But that is not all, we are trying to find voice actors for German, Polish and Japanese, and some more!

Back to work engineers!
