Every Voice Actor and Chief Vocalist in Nightingale

Voice Actor and Chief Vocalist in Nightingale | Image Credit: thenerdstash.com Does any voiceover sound familiar to you? Realmwalker, it ought should. Without a human and personality, the bizarre and terrifying landscapes of Inflexion's latest survival game would seem empty. For this reason, Nightingale benefits from having a diverse ensemble of voice actors and vocalists to add some flair. It's inspiring to witness such a powerful performance from experts who genuinely enjoy what they do, and it's evident when you explore the worlds they build. The game includes fewer speaking parts since Nightingale has a rather toned-down human or humanoid presence. But no matter how few people inhabit a planet, every little thing helps to bring it to life, from individual voice snippets to lar...
