I’ve seen a lot of posts about whether Zagreus is gonna be a boss or the narrator or retired in Hades 2 and they’re all great but listen. What if he’s also been captured and the damsel in distress role

For those who don't know, Julian Stamboulieh (played a small part "Nickels") had Olivia Lepore (Swann) on his stream of Lost Records Bloom & Rage Tape 1! Luc Baghadoust from Dontnod and other crew members also showed up in the chat throughout. She's a delight, very sweet and just like Swann, and had a lot of great behind the scenes insights during the streams, so I recommend them if you have the time! Here are some highlights:

  • Olivia and the rest of the cast did voiceover recordings separately from motion capture. This is different from Deck Nine's approach of full voice, face, and body performance capture. However, Olivia and co. still acted out all their lines of dialogue during motion capture before re-recording them in the booth.
  • Swann's bunny t-shirt design is a reference to Olivia's real life pet bunnies! The two bunnies are designed after her pets Marbles and Pebbles, and the "M&P" logo on the shirt is a reference to their names 🥹
  • Olivia's favorite character is Nora! She loves Nora's endless energy and all the energy Amelia Sargisson brought to the role.
  • Olivia originally auditioned for Kat, and tried to channel all the cool kid energy into her audition, but then got a callback for Swann. She joked, "I thought I had sent in this amazing tape that was edgy, confident, like so good, and her [cinematic director] idea was like, 'Wow, so this girl could be awkward!'"
  • During the playground sequence when the girls are talking before they start searching for Autumn's keys, Nora and Kat's actors are sitting/standing on a REAL swingset that the crew built for the mocap soundstage!
  • The crew had Olivia pet either a plush cat or a cardboard box whenever Swann is petting her cat
  • All of the 2022 scenes in the bar are also mocapped, including Swann in first person. Olivia describes it as "arm/hand acting" and she had to be more conscious of her hand movements during those scenes.
  • The iconic overlook scene when the girls are dangling their legs over the platform and admiring the sunset was also real platform! The crew had the actors climb up a ladder onto some scaffolding that they could sit on.
  • Olivia likes horror, particularly the "Scream" franchise, but also describes herself as a "huge scaredy cat." She says she'd love to be in a horror game!
  • "Olivia, who's your favorite love interest for Swann?" "All of them. No question."
  • Olivia's favorite line to record in Tape One (and maybe the whole game) is "Hey! Poop!"
  • Olivia says Swann's character and the game also meant a lot to her as it has to fans, and playing Swann was "quite healing" in a lot of ways.
