Bourassa praised June's professionalism and dedication, describing his work as "woven into the very fabric of our industry."

Bourassa recounted how the initial idea was simply to find a narrator similar to June, but discovering his availability led to the decision to incorporate a narrator into the game itself. This decision proved pivotal, as June's voice became an integral part of Darkest Dungeon's immersive and memorable experience, carrying over into the sequel.
