Flipping Is Hard - Narrator

Project Overview

Flipping is Hard – Project Description

Studio: Elegant Horse Studios (small but growing indie team)
Genre: Precision platformer (Foddian / rage game)
Platforms: PC (Steam), with potential for consoles
Style: Quirky, colorful, nostalgic


Core Concept

Flipping is Hard is a rage-inducing precision platformer where players control Flippy, an old Nokia-style brick phone that moves only by flipping and flopping through the world. The game is all about Flip → Fall → Learn → Repeat, testing patience, skill, and determination.

The game is designed for streamer moments, rage-bait clips, and community competition (speedruns, challenges, skins). Like Getting Over It or Only Up, one mistake can send you tumbling back — but in a world filled with humor and nostalgia.


World & Atmosphere

Flippy falls into a surreal underworld of forgotten childhood junk: plushies, playgrounds, candy lands, toy chests, and blanket forts — all reimagined as massive, climbable landscapes.

  • The setting is both playful and absurd, but also full of obstacles and traps that push players to their limits.

  • NPCs (like a grumpy Tamagotchi or a plush bear king) add story flavor and optional side challenges.


Current Need

We are looking for a distinct, expressive voice actors to bring these characters to life. Each actor will voice one short call (~100 words) from a unique character — examples include:

  • An angry school bully demanding lunch money

  • A confused gangster calling the wrong number

  • A sweet grandma offering beetroot cookies

  • A best friend whispering about a forbidden magazine

  • A scammer trying to sell fake prizes

  • A worried mom or dad looking for their lost son

Each call is written with strong character voice and rhythm. Think short monologues with a clear attitude, point of view, and energy.

Style & Specs
  • Length: ~100 words per call

  • Delivery: Natural, character-driven, short monologue style

  • Accents welcome: All backgrounds encouraged — regional and international accents okay if fitting the character

  • Tone: Ranges from grounded and emotional to absurd and comedic

Similar to The Stanley Parable - dry, tongue-in-cheek, slightly condescending, but still charming.

Clear and engaging, with subtle humor in the delivery. The voice should feel like it’s “in on the joke.”
