Some projects are just another job. Others leave a mark—challenging, consuming, and electrifying. KARMA: The Dark World was the latter, and I had the privilege of seeing it come to life right here in my own studio.

Every scream, every breath, every whisper of paranoia—captured in my recording space, where the talented voices of Jack Ayres, Anna Cass, Mark Desebrock, Will Harrison-Wallace, Verity Uma Johnson, Jen Austen, and Molly Pepper Tuer poured raw emotion into their performances. This wasn’t just another horror game session. It was an intense, high-energy deep dive into the art of performance, where every actor pushed themselves to the limits of fear, desperation, and psychological tension.

The process was exhilarating. We explored the mental and emotional toll of horror, the power of motion capture, and the importance of breath to bring fear to life. My studio became a space where reality blurred—where actors truly stepped into a world ruled by the ominous Leviathan Corporation.

Set in a dystopian post-war Germany, KARMA: The Dark World follows Roam Agent Daniel McGovern, who unearths a mind-bending conspiracy that makes him question everything, including his own identity. With inspiration drawn from David Lynch, Hideo Kojima, and Christopher Nolan, and developed in Unreal Engine 5, the game delivers an immersive cinematic experience unlike anything else.

I’m beyond proud that my studio was part of this journey. The raw energy, the collaborative magic, the sheer talent on display—it’s why I do this. To help shape worlds, create tension, and capture performances that stay with players long after the credits roll.

This carefully selected production team consisted of Amrit Sandhu (Studio Head & Owner, Voice Actor),  Emily Jardine (Voice Director) and Brad Shaw (UK Production Head) each an Award Winner in their own right, to create a team which has left shockwaves in the gaming industry.  

For a first project this is completely amazing and I’m excited to see what the future brings, says Amrit Sandhu, Creator of Laughing Monkey Studios.

You could walk into the booth and smell if the performance was committed. That’s because our actors emotions were real. Their energy. The intensity. You just can’t make that up.

Gaming world, watch this space. This is a team of experienced voice actors stepping up into the gaming world to bring even better games.

You can say goodbye to generic scripts read without authenticity.

These are real voices with real emotions, created and directed and recorded by real voice actors.
