Over the last few months, we have finalized the story and battles for the Ratmen campaign. There is still a lot of polishing to be done; however, the campaign is now playable from start to end. We have also introduced new mechanics, such as end-of-turn auto-invisibility for Ratmen, added a brand-new hero (Zarah, the dancer), and fine-tuned the AI to better utilize stealth.
We are also in the process of ordering a voiceover and conducting auditions. We have selected a few options that align with the theme of the game.
I kindly ask for your feedback on which one is the most suitable.
The auditions are provided below in a zip file (10MB):

Please comment on your favorite option and suggest any improvements. I'll share your feedback with the voice actors so they can align with notes.
Take care,
Les & AOF Team
