Pragmata actor discusses optimistic lead and sad dad label

David Menkin, voice of Pragmata protagonist Hugh Williams, has reflected on the game's themes in a recent interview. He emphasized the hopeful tone and bond between characters over typical sad dad tropes. Capcom's director also expressed interest in a sequel.

Released earlier this year, Capcom’s Pragmata reached 1 million sales shortly after launch and hit 2 million earlier this month. The game features a cosmonaut engineer and child android combating robots on the moon through puzzle and shooter mechanics. Menkin, who joined late in development, described starting with a table read alongside Grace Saif, who plays Diana, to build their on-screen chemistry.
