Indie title There Are No Ghosts at the Grand won top honors at the Tribeca Games Festival and announced Tony-nominated actor Alex Brightman as its lead voice actor.
Independent studio Friday Sundae is turning heads with its debut title, There Are No Ghosts at the Grand. The genre-blending game recently took home the top award at the 25th anniversary of the Tribeca Games Festival in New York City, beating out a competitive field of twelve selected submissions. Originally reported by IGN South Africa, the project is catching the attention of players who look to indie releases for genuinely fresh concepts rather than standard sequels and remakes.
Adding serious vocal talent to the project, the developers announced that two-time Tony-nominated actor and singer Alex Brightman will star as the lead character, Chris. Brightman is well known for his standout performances in School of Rock and Beetlejuice, alongside his voice work in animated hits like Hazbin Hotel. Because this project leans heavily into a musical format, having a seasoned Broadway veteran helm the audio side gives the game a massive boost in production value and crossover appeal.
Described as a musical Lovecraftian renovation game, the title bridges together cozy mechanics and eerie cosmic horror in a way that feels tailor-made for modern streaming audiences. Friday Sundae managed to assemble an impressive cast of musicians and actors for its first major outing, proving that small indie teams can punch well above their weight class. As the industry continues to value unique storytelling and creative risks, projects like this show just how far independent development has come.
