1st Degree is a boy's love (BxB) game in development by Parival, Inc., a recently created visual novel development team focused on boy's love visual novels. We're currently seeking a few voice actors. The game will feature 4 routes- Aiden, Jun, Minami, and the twins Griffith and Leo- but, Rei will eventually kill off at least 3 characters. Choose who will live, who will die, and who will end up with Rei!
Summary of the VN:
A city on edge as a serial killer roams the streets...
Frustrated by one unsolved murder after another, forensics graduate student Rei Kuroshima decides to get his hands dirty to solve the crimes. He resolves to copy the killings to chase the serial killer known as "the Doctor" in order to figure out how the murders were accomplished. Although, he begins to develop certain... urges. Along with his supervisor Aiden Steele, a detective oblivious to Rei’s identity as the copycat killer, he must piece together a trail of evidence to uncover the identity of “the Doctor.” At school, however, Rei must also maintain his normal student life while dealing with his desire to kill, leading him to the ultimate choice - Who will he choose to love, and who will he resolve to kill?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a few characters that have already been cast: the detective, Aiden, and the professor, Jun. Minami and Leo have potentials already, though we are open to more auditions for them.
This casting call is for the DEMO so it will not be paid. However, for the full game, the lead voice actors will be paid $60-$80 each and the minor characters will be paid $10-$20 each.
*If we reach a certain stretch goal when we have a kickstarter, then the voice actors will be paid more. Details will be available to those who are hired.*
We are expecting to release a demo by the end of September/early October.
The full game will be in development for a little over a year, so please expect a delay once you submit demo lines.

Rei is an orphan with an affinity for all things science. He’s a 1st year graduate student with a focus on Forensics at Teikoku University. Rei enjoys staying busy: he’s a Peer Leader for a Forensics Psychology lecture, a part-time crime forensicist at Teikoku Crime Agency, and a home tutor. Although, there’s nothing more exciting to Rei than being able to solve a difficult case. But what will happen when the case doesn’t present any answers? To Rei, it means getting his hands dirty…

Minami is a tiny little sunspot. He was raised in a normal, happy family with his two kid brothers. He goes to a highly esteemed high school and is being tutored by Rei to enter Teikoku University for veterinary medicine. Minami tries to make himself seem more manly than he actually is, like working part time to rent his own cheap apartment, learning how to cook from Rei, and even wanting to live on his own to “grow up.” Minami loves spending time with Rei, even though Rei often treats him like he’s a pain in the ass. Minami is a little bit of an airhead and super clumsy, which often makes Rei irritated. However, Minami wants nothing more than to get closer to Rei.

He’s a 2nd year law student with a concentration in forensics at Teikoku University and is currently Rei’s student in the Forensics Psychology course.
