While working on Imperfection, I had the chance to cast and direct amazing actors that really gave soul to a vast array of NPCs. Here are some of them!
Curator, the robot that belongs to the protagonist, has intense character development as the isolation of Nova Opera from the rest of the spaceship becomes clearer and more dangerous. For the first time, Curator experiences complete disconnection from the web of data shared among the Robot units, finding most of them 'dormant', a status that is the closest to being clinically dead.
I've entirely designed Curator's peculiar personality, written all her lines and directed the actress (Giulia Celletti) to deliver the robot's best and most unexpected characteristics.

As the characters in this game don't understand the concept of death and are told they are eternal, when the spaceship annihilate one of them, it is deeply upsetting. Generally, the Robot Units can remove the trauma and the memories of the dead. However, there are times when the panic and suffering breaks the system, causing that person to actually understand their frailty. This happens to Nora017, played by Cecilia Stassi.

This character is the most "imperfect" creature, which is reflected in the way of speech that is slightly sloppy, as far from being accepted by the spaceship as possible, in any way. His love for his Robot is inspired by the stories of people falling for non-human intelligence. Toby208 (Stefano Angarano) has his own voice, but he is also the topic of another character, who depicts the mentality of the spaceship in the poshest, almost satyrical tone (Anne002, played by Cirilla Neiles; written by the game designer Stefano Pedrocchi, I have directed the actress after translating and editing the text).
