Jason Loftus, CEO and executive producer at Lofty Sky Entertainment, said:
It’s been a fantastic experience working with this incredibly talented cast. They helped us fully realise the characters of numen9 as we imagined them and their rich performances brought our universe to life.
As an entrée into the world of Sky of Tides, the studio will release nine audio diaries or novellas providing backstories for each of the main characters. Players can sign up to receive these novellas on the new Sky of Tides site.
Loftus added:
We wanted to introduce players to our characters and the unique world of numen9 before they play the game. So we worked with the actors to create this series of audio novellas as something that can live outside the game but bring players in.
