Hi,

I am Melina Spetsieri and I am delighted to announce that I will be the voice of Somber Echoes.



When I was approached by Rock Pocket Games I was immediately drawn into the Greek tragedy aspect of the story, and even more when I learned about the narration.

It has long been a dream of mine to combine my experience as an actress with my love for video games, and this is the perfect opportunity.

Somber Echoes isn’t only inspired by the narrative tradition of Greek tragedies, but also the way they were told.

That is also why Rock Pocket Games were looking for a voice that had certain qualities for the narrator, and I am honored to help bring that to life.

As a Greek with a love of our history of storytelling tradition I am proud to join the game creators on this journey. Hope you feel the same way.

I will also participate on a stream where we play the new playtest for Somber Echoes, where I will talk about the game and you can ask me any questions.

Join me at the Twitch channel: www.twitch.tv/aerosunodos on 16th of August at 8PM CET / 11AM PDT

Cheers,
Melina

In this shot you can see Adrestia throwing her spear towards an enemy seconds before he can shoot back. In the background you can spot a statue of somewhat of a celebrity from Greek mythology.


An emulated lush forest called simply, the Grove, might sound like just the place to relax after a long day's fight for survival... but don't let your guard down.


The Science Department stands at the forefront of technological breakthroughs, but also hides some
sinister secrets.
