We’ll get to the big climax of the game next time, but for now I want to credit Davey for his narration work for the game. He provides a solid, understated performance that really sells the tension driving the project forward. It’s a different take on the Narrator of The Stanley Parable. Instead of fighting the player, Davey is almost fighting the game designer.
More than that, you can feel the human desperation in his voice Coda’s games grow more overt about what they’re trying to say. For someone who isn’t a professional voice actor, it’s a surprisingly cogent delivery.
And one he really sells in the finale, which is soon upon us.
