This project contains sensitive topics such as suicide, self harm, violence, death, and strong language. If any of these topics upset you, be advised that they are mentioned in this listing and recurring themes in the game itself. If you are uncomfortable with these topics, this project may not be for you. Thank you!
OVERVIEW
Rea never wanted to play the game of life. That’s why she died. But somehow, she was brought back with sixteen others who all had unfinished business. She doesn’t know why she was brought back, when she’d ended her life on her own terms. But she had a Valor just like the rest of them, and she wouldn’t allow her existence to end at someone’s else’s hand when she’d worked so hard to let her death be her own.
6th Sense: The Revival is a Danganronpa and Your Turn To Die inspired, fully voice acted multi-ending visual novel adventure game following Rea, a 17-year-old who recently committed suicide. When she’s brought back as a part of the Revival, a strange game with the prize of a second chance at life, she’s thrown into a treacherous new reality where one wrong move could destroy her forever. Surrounded by people who would do anything for another chance, all armed with new abilities none of them really understand, Rea finds herself stuck between new friends and a chance at finally finding the peace she’s always wanted. With so much at stake, though, is it possible for any of them to break free?
The team of 6S:TR are excited to announce that we're nearly ready to begin formal production and experimentation! That said, there's still a lot of work to do, but we're very excited to begin the process of getting the game voice acted!

Your average high school tragedy. One mistake and it was all over for her...who knows, maybe she won't even make it through the First Trial!
Personality: Outwardly, Rea comes off as unapproachable and hostile. She is distrusting of others, often prone to shutting down during conversations and will occasionally flat out ignore people to prevent them getting close to her. She guards herself and hides away so she doesn’t make mistakes and lets no one get close to her. She feigns indifference when really she just feels too much, and if you can get her to open up she’s loyal to a fault. She can be snarky and cold at first, but deep down she’s lonely and misses the companionship of her friends.
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Occupation: Student
Voice: Medium voice female voice range, soft and cautious
(Sarcastically) "Oh no, I'm the one person here who's actually alive! Of course I also died, what kind of question is that?"
(Desperate, defensive) "I didn't know any better! I lost everything, and even when life hit rock bottom it handed me a shovel and told me to start digging."
(Snarky, irritated) “What, you think I wanted to be here? Who would want to be here? Who wants anything anymore, we’re dead!”
Photographs are such an interesting invention. A moment held in time forever in a world where life is so fleeting. And a photographer learning how fleeting life is? Even better!
Personality: Valerie’s empathetic nature is what got her nicknamed “Teddy Bear” in life. Though she may look intimidating, her outgoing and friendly nature are sure to draw even the most introverted to her. Never mistake her sweetness for weakness; she’ll protect those she cares about at whatever cost is necessary.
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Occupation: College student, photography
Voice: Medium-medium low female voice range, slightly intimidating at times but mainly friendly. Southern accent preferred but not required.(Trying to lower tension) "Instead of jumping down each other's throats why don't we try to introduce ourselves? I'm Valerie, I am... was? A photographer."
(Angry, accusatory) "I know what I saw! I'm not going to fall for that, you're a damn killer and I'm not going to just let you get away with it!"
(Excited, hopeful) "Okay, now that sounds like it will work! You can trust me. We're going to survive this."
I just love a good game of hide-and-seek! What a wonderful game to play with friends. And I do so love pranks! Just…maybe not those two things together, since that ended so badly for poor Elisabetta.
Personality: Elisabetta tends to act older than she is. Growing up wealthy, she can act a bit spoiled at times but keeps an air of elegance despite her young age. No matter how mature she tries to be, though, she’s still young, and her vulnerability shows in times of hardship. Her overconfidence and mild selfishness can sometimes cause issues in team situations.
Age: 11
Gender: Female
Occupation: Student
Voice: Medium high-high female voice range, young but sophisticated(Formal) "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, despite the unfortunate circumstances."
(Whining) "Too young? I am not too young! I dare say despite the age of my accident I have lived more than some vagabonds who have lived twice as long as I did."
(Regretful) "I'm not upset that I died, and do not desire recompense or vengeance. I just wish that I could have said goodbye."
Ah, someone who proves the reality of natural selection…a trailblazer in an industry where only the best survive! An industry where jealousy thrives, too. I wonder if she had time to ponder that as she bled out?
Personality: Chantrea closes herself off to anyone who tries to get close to her. She is self-sufficient, believes she needs no one in her life, and in reality is quite lonely. This reflects in her personality as hostility and distrust. Especially after the betrayal she suffered when she was alive, she refuses to believe that anyone truly wants to help her no matter how pure their intentions may actually be. She’ll do whatever it takes to get what she wants.
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Occupation: Designer
Voice: Medium-medium low (more medium) female voice range, haughty and harsh(Harsh, accusing) "Oh so you can get me while we're alone?I don’t think so. You had better not follow me either, or else."
(Boasting) "I have always worked hard for what I have. I am one of the best designers in the world, have studied internationally, and was on track to begin my own brand."
(Defending herself) "If I wanted to do it, I would have just done it, and I would have done it better at that! Maybe instead of jumping on me you can look to the obvious guilty party."
Isn’t karma something? An actual, real-life murderer…murdered! On accident, no less! And she had such a bright career…
Personality: Outwardly, Idalia has a very bright and bubbly personality. She acts very friendly and kind to everyone she meets, constantly keeping a smile plastered on her face. Her smile is often faked, however; she uses her natural charisma to attract people to her. Ultimately, while she does have kindness in her, it is overshadowed by her jealous tendencies and need to stay in the spotlight.
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Occupation: Idol
Voice: Medium high female voice range, bright and bubbly
(Take aback) "Really? I'm Idalia. My last release was the Strawberry Chew album with Bubblegum Bubblegum, which hit ninth on last year's top forty."
(Disingenuous) "Oh, Leyland! Yes he's also an idol, he was the one who performed That Love of Mine, which was seventh on the top forty. I'm so proud of him! I'm surprised you recognized him and not me…"
(Snapping) "Of course you prefer him! Everyone likes Leyland over me! 'Oh sweet sweet Ley', 'We love you Ley', 'Oh well you know people just liked what he did more'. Why can't it be me? Just once why can't someone, anyone, choose me instead?"
A girl after my own heart! Attempting to commit such an atrocious act over something so small…if things could have been different, I would adopt her, I tell you!
Personality: Lonnie is a friendly and approachable individual…at first. Although outwardly, she acts very nice, once you’ve been around her long enough, her true personality begins to shine through. In reality, Lonnie is a psychopath; charismatic and calculated in her actions, if you make an enemy of her, she will go to whatever lengths she must to destroy you.
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Occupation: Student
Voice: Medium high female voice range, overly cheerful in a disturbing way(Friendly, upbeat) "I mean, I guess if this is the afterlife it could be worse right? I'm Lonnie!"
(Threatening) "Stop blubbering and listen! You didn't see anything, you don't know anything. Nobody will believe you, and if you say something, anything, I'll flip the whole thing on you."
(Panicked, defending herself) "You've got things all mixed around! I wouldn't hurt a hair on anyone's head, I want everyone to get through this together!"
Success and talent mean nothing without the breath to use them. Though I’d imagine Atlantis must be nice this time of year, yes? Someone sure wanted Lixue to see it.
Personality: Lixue is powered by determination. Once she sets her mind on something, she’s going to accomplish it. But she’s also driven by a concern for others that speaks to her personality. She’ll always be there for a friend in need, making sure people around her are alright.
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Occupation: Voice actor
Voice: Medium female voice range, calm and even tone(Frustrated) “No, I can't do impressions. I was a voice actor, not an impressionist, or some two bit comedian with puppets and accents. It’s not the same thing.”
(Determined) “Oh no. We're in the weeds now, you don’t get to just back off. We’re in this shit like two goddamned soldiers, Charlie’s got the drop and we’re going to take this to Normandy and back!”
(Proudly) “Oh yeah, I started off with mostly indie productions but once I got my first role in Fatal Combat I was really able to get into the more serious parts! I joined the union the same year because it was worth it at that point, and I stuck by that company for a couple years before moving on to anime and cartoons. Mostly anime dubs.”
Oh how curiosity kills! But not even curiosity can stop gravity, or a failing plane engine. She tried so hard to fly so high only for the sun to be too hot… and I thought reading made people smart.
Personality: Always curious and tried to achieve her goals no matter how far they were.
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Occupation: Student
Voice: Medium-medium low (leaning toward low) female voice range, crisp and animated(Introducing herself) "I think remembering who we were is important, we need something to hold onto. I'm Riley, I was going to go to college to be a teacher, and I like music and reading. I was on my way to see my parents when my plane crashed."
(Mournful, regretfully) I miss them, I never got to say goodbye. I hope they were proud of me, that’s all I ever wanted.
(Defensive, panicked) “I could never do something like that! I swear it wasn’t me. I’m a good person. Please believe me, I’m a good person. Right?”
All that time and effort to be better at saving others just to end without saving even one…Though isn’t the saying ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away,’ not ‘a fire a day’?
Personality: Jace has a tendency to be somewhat lazy. He is fairly low-energy and indifferent to most things. However, he is passionate about one thing: saving lives. He puts his all into being a doctor, surpassing the expectations of everyone around him and finally finding something to put effort into.
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Occupation: Physician
Voice: Medium-medium low male voice range, quiet and even tone
(Amazed) "I would have never guessed that there really was something after life. I've heard of patients who have near death experiences claiming there was something but I always attributed it to the brain temporarily losing cognitive function."
(Desperate) "No! Run! I can't, I won't, You're going to survive this! I won't let you die!"
(Shakily) “No, no, no, no. Stay with me, hey, look at me. Just breathe, okay? Follow my lead, like this.”
Ughh, job after job after job, how does he not get tired doing this all the time? Maybe that’s why he slipped up and failed his last one.
Personality: Agent is a man whose emotions were hardened by his life as a detective. Regarded as the wisest contestant due to his age, he remains cold throughout the dramatic shift in environment. He keeps a cool head through it all and tries to keep control of any situation.
Age: 50
Gender: Male
Occupation: Private detective
Voice: Low male voice range, very gruff/gravely(Remaining calm) "Listen kids, I've never solved a case by losing my sense of reason. Now why don't we look at what we got in front of us one article at a time."
(Logical, reasonable) "Let's think this through one step at a time. I have spent the entire time in this world making sure that you all stop and think instead of acting irrationally. You think I wouldn't extend the same to myself? I've thought through every angle this can go. There's only one person it could have been..."
(Blunt, matter-of-fact) “That’s just how it goes, ya live, ya die. Nothin’ we can do now besides figure out who did this. And I think I might have a good idea who.”
My, what a hot temper on this one. All that effort to play the part of being okay, only for you to be wrong in the end…Do you think we should keep him away from Jace?
Personality: While Nathan has the capacity to be a decent person, his downfall is his temper and arrogance. He thinks he’s more charming than he is, which makes him come off as egotistical. He can be a nice person, but he’s a bit misguided.
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Occupation: College student, undecided
Voice: Medium male voice range, humorous and somewhat arrogant(Frustrated) "Now hold on, you're too calm, this is all bullshit and you seem perfectly happy sharing stories about how you died and meaningless crap about when you were alive rather than trying to figure out where the hell we are!"
(Trying to calm down) "Anger is not an evil emotion, all emotions are neutral messages, listen to the anger and what it is telling you... What my anger is telling me is that you are all god damned idiots."
(Vulnerable) "I don't really want to be angry, not all the time, not like I am. It feels like I'm a broken pressure cooker with no latch or vent, and the only time that I'm not whistling with steam is when the hinge breaks. Every time it does I have to use something stronger to try and seal it back up; and one day, I don’t think I'll ever be able to close the hinge. Even when it hurts everyone."
How sad to see such a creative mind gone so soon. Born weak despite the desire to be strong…if you get the crazy one I want this one.
Personality: Vincent’s childlike nature draws people to him. His innocence is a quality that everyone around him tried to protect, despite the hardships surrounding him. He knew more than he let on, however, and is more mature than he appears.
Age: 9
Gender: Male
Occupation: Student
Voice: Medium high-high male child voice range, enthusiastic and playful(Unsure, nervous) Hi, my name is Vincent! I’m a little lost. I don’t know where I am, or where my parents are, or my friends. My parents might know where my friends are. I really wanna see my friends. Do you know where I could find my parents?”
(Enthusiastic, reflective) “I miss my friends! Running around, and laughing, and playing. We would always play monsters and aliens. Is this kinda like that?”
(Protective, optimistic) “I really care about you, friend. I promise, I won’t let the bad guys hurt you, I’ll protect you! That’s what friends are for, right?”
Could you imagine being killed by your own sibling? That resentment must have stayed for quite some time…why are you looking at me like that?
Personality: Leyland is fairly easy going compared to those around him. He keeps a smile on his face, and genuinely is a nice person most of the time. He can be very protective of the people he cares about, especially his sister Idalia. He can be oblivious to other people’s feelings sometimes, however.
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Occupation: Idol
Voice: Medium male voice range, resonant and musical(Proud of himself) "I'm flattered, but there were other better songs that year. That album took a lot of effort though, and really the only way to get to the top is to work the hardest and be the best. I was hoping to hit top five next year, but I suppose that won't be possible anymore"
(Hushed, angry) "You really want to know what I want? Revenge. I didn't just die, I was murdered in cold blood by...someone jealous. I don't know if I can kill them now, but I want them to feel the hurt they pushed on everyone around them."
(Enraged, trying to understand) "When could you ever be satisfied? You were rich, you were famous, you convinced me to drop the rest of my life and pursue being musical idols with you and I thought that finally we would be able to connect but it never ended for you! Nothing was good enough, what could you possibly have wanted that you didn't already have?"
Hey, frog in your throat? Oh sorry, I mean cobalt, or is that too soon? I mean come on you have to be more careful about stuff sometimes…We don’t need to change any colors in the mansion, right?
Personality: Killian is a very outgoing and friendly person. His laid-back personality and kindness towards others is what makes him so popular. He’s always willing to help others and takes care of the people closest to him no matter what.
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Occupation: Student
Voice: Medium male voice, confident and optimistic(Emotional, overjoyed) "I- I thought you were, oh my god we have so much to talk about, so much that I have to say and... Oh! Oh no please don't cry, if you start crying I'll start crying and whatever this all will just become us crying for an hour."
(Begging, afraid) "Wait no, please, I won't tell anyone what you're doing now, pick someone else. I need time, I haven't had the chance to say what I need to yet. I promise, nobody else needs to know about this just... don't do it please."
(Reflective, forgiving) “I really do love you, I don’t blame you for what happened, y’know? I would never blame you, nothing could ever make me do that.”
And this is why I preferred horse drawn carriages, these newer things are much too fast. I do always feel bad for the young ones…can we keep two each?
Personality: Malachi is very quiet. Being unable to hear, he became very reserved until he found a close group of friends that accepted who he was. Around those friends, his true personality showed; Malachi turned into a very fun-loving, excitable kid.
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Occupation: Student
Voice: Medium-medium high male teen voice range, soft-spoken and reserved(Overwhelmed, pleading) "Will you all just shut up?! You're all so loud, was hearing always this awful for everyone else?"
(Softly, eager) "I can help! I know I’ve been struggling with hearing a lot, but that’s because going from nothing to a thousand is really hard for me. If you help me focus on what to listen for I probably won't get that same feeling like my eyes are turning into jelly."
(Cowering and afraid) "No no, please, you don't have to do this. I just want-- it's not a lot that I want, I just want to hear them one time. I just want to have what everyone else got to have."
Man… just think, a single trip to the doctor could have helped him oh so much. If only he slowed down and drank water even, maybe then he’d have time to make mommy proud… Is it too late for Jace to help him?
Personality: Grey can be a very emotional guy, but tries to stay goofy and upbeat. Overall, he tries to be a person that other people can like, and spends more time focusing on hobbies than career goals.
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Occupation: Unemployed
Voice: Medium-medium high male voice range, energetic, slightly whiny(Disoriented) “I don’t know what happened, I mean I thought I was going to die but maybe not? This would be a pretty weird lookin’ hospital though so it’s probably not a hospital… Wait am I still me? Someone check my shoulder, I should have a birthmark there.”
(Venting, frustrated) “I don’t know what they want man! I mean, it’s always just what I’m not and never what I am. Why is it my responsibility to be what they wanted? They chose to have me, not the other way around! I’ve been doing everything I can, and it seems like because I’m not tearing my hair out and sobbing that somehow means I don’t care. I do care! But I can’t control certain shit, and that isn’t my fault.
(Awkward, slightly bitter) “If only you could make money doing what you love, right? If that were the case, I’d be a millionaire by now.”
How the protector fell…well, flew into a wall to be precise. Dying while protecting is quite noble…would they have wanted to know it was the very person they were protecting?
Personality: Nolan is a very extroverted person, easily making friends throughout their life. They are energetic and always willing to party. However, they are also extremely protective of their friends, trying to make sure situations never escalate to a point of someone getting hurt.
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Occupation: Bartender
Voice: Medium androgynous voice range, soft-spoken and kind, sounds slightly younger(Trying to be heard) “You know I think– hey look I may know what is– Okay I know I don’t look the most imposing but this is ridiculous-! Finally, I was trying to say I think I know what happened.”
(Disagreeing) “Nope, nuh-uh, not happening. I’m not letting a kid risk themselves, I’ll be bait. I’m twenty two, I am not a teenager! It’s just my voice! Yes yes and my height, get it all out now.”
(Loud, distracting) “Hey! Over here, you want a drink? I make a mad Moscow mule! Oh crap the Mad Moscow Mule, that would have been a wicked signature drink. You’re not allowed to steal that!”
What fun we’ll have this time! We have an interesting lineup, don’t we brother? Although I wish you’d stop frowning all the time.
Personality: Though it’s hard to know who is the older of the two, Solace has the more mature demeanor. He is the more calculated of the two, carrying a cold indifference that comes across as unforgiving. He is calm and collected, making all of his judgements based on logic alone.
Age: ???
Gender: Male
Voice: Medium low-low male voice range, blunt and matter-of-fact(Commanding) “Quiet! You all have your own theories as to what has brought you here, and even more questions. If you will be silent, we will answer any questions that are worthy of being answered.”
(Growing impatient) “These questions are irrelevant. You are asking for what was, and what will be, but neither are important. What is important is the here, and the now, and what you will do with the chance that we give you.”
(Cold but considerate) “Death is not a simple thing to brush away, you shall be alright though. You have a second chance, and so long as you stand strong and follow through then the risks you take will pay off, and what door you need opened will be opened.”
Despite all my effort to keep you away from death, you always find a way back. I only wish that you had escaped the room that day and ran until you were safe.
Personality: Regardless of age, Solstice is the more dramatic of the siblings. She balances Solace’s calculatedness, her demeanor unsettlingly sweet. She has a chilling sort of bubbliness to how she acts, each action that should be positive carrying a sinister undertone despite her upbeat tone.
Age: ???
Gender: Female
Voice: Medium-medium high female voice, eerily upbeat and manipulative(Excited, eager) “Yes! I know you have so, so many questions, but each one will be answered! And you’re going to have so much to look forward to. Oh you will be so happy with us soon! You have no choice but to be excited with us.”
(Chastising) “So many bad questions. Plus, answering those would ruin what we have planned! It’s no fun if you don’t play along! And if you stay dead, it’s okay! You’ll just get to stay dead forever! Isn’t that great?”
(Empty reassurance) “Death is wonderful, a way to brush away all the pain from living! You have a wonderful chance to fix all the problems, and you wouldn’t understand just how important and valuable living is without dying first! You should be thanking us! I mean you were gonna die either way, but we made dying fun!”
