Still Wakes the Deep unveils its voice talent

Brighton, UK – 21 May 2024: Award-winning developer The Chinese Room and publisher Secret Mode have revealed the voice talent that will be bringing to life their upcoming narrative horror game, Still Wakes the Deep, in a new behind the scenes mini documentary.

Leading the cast as main character Cameron "Caz" McLeary is Alec Newman, an accomplished Glaswegian actor with a long history of video game performances. Cyberpunk 2077 fans may recognise him as the voice behind Adam Smasher in both the game and anime.

"The thing was so well written, and so well-conceived, that I don't recall having very long conversations about what Caz should sound like," says Newman in the mini documentary, discussing what struck him about Still Wakes the Deep. "With this, you can feel the writing, you can feel the characters."

Also joining the cast is Neve McIntosh as Suze, Caz's wife, who can be heard in the Still Wakes the Deep release date trailer. You can find the full cast list below:

• Alec Newman as Caz
• Neve McIntosh as Suze
• Karen Dunbar
• Michael Abubakar
• Clive Russell
• Shaun Dooley
• Stewart Scudamore
• Nicholas Boulton
• Duncan Pow
• Sandy Batchelor
• Alan Turkington
• Noof Ousellam

The voice cast was directed by Kate Saxon and Damian Goodwin. The mini documentary was recorded at SIDE Studios in London, and at The Chinese Room's Brighton studio.
