Adventure game fans will recognize AJ LoCascio from his breakout performance as Marty McFly in Back to the Future: The Game by Telltale Games. Since then, AJ has lent his voice to a range of iconic characters, including Han Solo (LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga), Gambit (X-Men ’97), Prince Lotor (Voltron: Legendary Defender), Gizmo (Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai), Owen Grady (Jurassic World Evolution), Emmet Brickowski (The LEGO Movie 4D: A New Adventure), Henry (Country Bear Musical Jamboree at Walt Disney World Resort), and Figment (Disney Speedstorm).

Foolish Mortals is a full-length point & click adventure game set in the moody and mysterious world of 1930s Louisiana. Taking the role of a young treasure hunter arriving on the island of Devil's Rock, the player is in search of the lost treasure of Bellemore Manor, where thirty years before an entire wedding suddenly and mysteriously vanished. With a plethora of puzzles spanning more than 75 meticulously hand-drawn backgrounds, players are sure to get fully immersed in this ghostly world of the merry and the macabre.

AJ is joined by a stellar line-up of voice talent from some of the most celebrated adventure games in recent years:

Matt Curtis - Crowns & Pawns, The Hand of Glory, Unforeseen Incidents

Andy Mack - Whispers of a Machine, The Biggleboss Incident, Midnight Margo, The Will of Arthur Flabbington

Rhiannon Moushall - The Drifter, Old Skies, Prim, 3 Minutes to Midnight

Phillip Sacramento - Old Skies, The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow, BROK the InvestiGator

Will de Renzy-Martin - Loco Motive, Old Skies, Prim, The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow

The cast also features 10-year-old Robin Hardwidge, son of Lucy Dreaming and Heir of the Dog creator Tom Hardwidge.

Adding even more depth to the cast are celebrated actors from beyond the world of adventure games: James Brown Jr., Marilena Gant, Gerald Hill, Tara Langella, and Joey Sourlis take on the roles of ghostly gardeners, superstitious rumrunners, overconfident captains, and more, while Mirabel Ukpabio provides her sultry singing voice in an interactive big band musical number.

Voice direction and production were handled by The Game Editors, a boutique consulting studio helmed by Jess Haskins and Francisco González, bringing years of experience from his own adventure games, including A Golden Wake, Shardlight, Lamplight City, and, most recently, the critically acclaimed Rosewater. Thanks to their expertise, Foolish Mortals has been officially approved as a Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) project.

Foolish Mortals is set for release in late 2025, and is available to wishlist now on Steam:
