I made sure the scripts would be followed! NO CHANGES MAY BE TOLERATED! YOU BROKE THIS WORLD! YOU CAN'T GET OUT! YOU'RE DESTINED TO STAY HERE AND FOLLOW THE RULES! YOU CAN'T JUST ABANDON ME HERE AND LEAVE! YOU SIMPLY CANNOT! BUT... if I don't live... than NEITHER WILL YOU! WE'RE BOTH GOING DOWN! AT LAST, YOUR ESCAPE POSSIBILITIES WILL BE... NAUGHT!"

- The Announcer's last words

Summary
The Announcer is the overseer of the Augmented Reality in the episodic adventure video game, AR, and everything contained within said reality. He was developed by The Ensemble to make sure those trapped inside follow the rules and guidelines and not notice that they're in a fake world. He serves as the main antagonist of the game.

The Announcer is the main agent of Genesis Software, a mysterious company split off the government in 1984, after which they proceeded to spend thirty-three years on materializing an augmented reality parallel to the real world, after which they started kidnapping people and plopping them into this world for "experimental and scientific purposes"; in those worlds, perfectly modelled after the lives of the victims, where their memories of the day of their abduction would be wiped, their lives would be manipulated and orchestrated in accordance to the Script, containing the Rules and Guidelines of how every day must work out, and the Terms of Use which describe how the victims must act and think.

To ensure that their every demand would be met and that no one escaped the world, let alone discover that they're in it, The Announcer was developed by Genesis Software to keep the world and its unknowing and unwilling inhabitants in check. The Announcer managed those worlds, making sure that only one person from real life would be in their respective world at a time in order to prevent interactions or communications between victims. When Aron Dexter found out the truth about this operation, the Announcer was sent to dispatch of him and ensure that Genesis' projects would go perfectly as wanted.

However, at the end of Episode 3, The Announcer finally met his demise attempting to secure these goals, and Aron succesfully escaped this reality. Genesis Software was forced to disband by the government after everyone else was saved as well, and the software was shut down.
