The upcoming genre-blending “musical Lovecraftian renovation” game There Are No Ghosts at the Grand has announced Broadway actor and singer Alex Brightman as the voice of its lead character, Chris.

The reveal of Alex Brightman as the lead character, Chris, in the upcoming game There Are No Ghosts at the Grand has garnered attention. Brightman, known for his Tony-nominated roles in School of Rock and Beetlejuice, brings his talent to this unique project. The game recently won the top prize at the Tribeca Games Festival, where the British studio Friday Sundae made its debut.

Anil Glendinning, co-founder of Friday Sundae, highlighted the studio's unconventional and collaborative development process, particularly in casting. The team's approach to character creation involved adapting roles to the performers' strengths, resulting in a diverse and eclectic blend of talent.

Friday Sundae's musical-forward game features a multicultural cast and a lyrical soundtrack that adds depth to the characters. The studio embraced a collective effort, involving artists, musicians, developers, and writers in the creative process.

The game's voice actors were encouraged to improvise, adding a natural and authentic touch to the characters. With a focus on maintaining a teen rating, the team aimed to create a unique and engaging gameplay experience.

There Are No Ghost at the Grand is currently available as a demo on Steam, with plans for a full release later this year on PC and Xbox platforms.
