Hello everyone!
First of all, thank you for the support since the announcement of Never Look Back. We’ve been reading your comments, watching your reactions, and seeing all the discussions around the game. The amount of attention and interest our project has received has honestly exceeded our expectations. We’re grateful to everyone who has wishlisted, shared, or talked about the game. Thank you!
We have a few pieces of news for you.
Voice Actor Update
Many people pointed out similarities between the Architect’s voice and the narrator from "The Stanley Parable". But we must tell you right away: it's not Kevan Brighting.
Honestly, we did not expect the voice to turn out so similar to Kevan's. And even though we don't mind our game being compared to The Stanley Parable, some people may have false expectations or even wishlist the game just because of their favorite voice actor.
Because the similarity was distracting for a significant number of people, we decided to replace the voice. You can already hear the new voice in the updated trailer on Steam. We can't say yet if this voice will be the same at release, but for now this is the version we're using.
We are sorry for any inconvenience, and we hope you will not be disappointed. We appreciate our player base and don't want to cause any discomfort or confusion.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and helping us improve the experience.
Closed Playtest - Coming Soon!
We are currently preparing a dedicated build for our upcoming closed playtest. Our goal is to start inviting players within the next 1.5 months.
