Created by Ryv.
https://www.eidolware.com
Please note that this project will require multiple recording sessions during development.
Infiltrate a 24/7 anime convention where holograms are real, influencers reign supreme, and Otaku culture has gone completely off the rails in this satirical cyberpunk action-RPG by FATBAT Studio.
You are Anna Lam, a former AI engineer. The mysterious death of your mentor has led you to a newly established 24-hour anime convention, owned and operated by a crypto-billionaire who styles himself "Fedora Mask".
Immerse yourself in the convention and meet its strange denizens. Team up with unlikely allies to defeat Fedora Mask's lieutenants and gain access to the convention's inner circle. Uncover the truth behind your mentor's death and if anyone is responsible, put an end to their plans.

CHARACTER BIO
Anna is a former AI engineer who worked on the Eidolware Project alongside her mentor, Dr. Morgana Morgan. The project aimed to guide people toward better life decisions using AI, but was shut down after a high-profile client followed the AI's guidance to career success while becoming emotionally isolated, ultimately leading to their suicide. The tragedy deeply affected Anna, causing her to leave the company. Before departing, she began work on the Failsafe, a device designed to sanitize Eidolware's code. Years later, after Dr. Morgan's suspicious death, Anna receives a mysterious package containing the Failsafe device. When activated, it detects a signal leading to the first piece of Eidolware at FedoraCon — a world completely unfamiliar to her.
PERSONALITY
Intelligent, reserved, and driven by responsibility. Anna is stepping into an unfamiliar world (anime convention culture) while carrying the weight of her mentor's death and a failed AI project. She's skeptical but adaptable, dry-witted but not cold. She's processing grief while maintaining professional composure.
VOCAL DIRECTION
Tone: Grounded, slightly weary, observational
Energy: Medium — neither overly enthusiastic nor monotone
Delivery: Natural, conversational with occasional dry sarcasm
Range: Needs to shift from deadpan skepticism to genuine emotion (especially regarding Dr. Morgan)
Key Quality: "I'm too old for this, but I'm committed to seeing it through"

Look, Susie, I appreciate you sponsoring me, but I should be upfront - I'm not just here for the convention experience. I need to meet with Fedora Mask about personal business.
Right. So I need to talk to the guy who thinks vinyl figures have mystical powers. This day keeps getting stranger.
Not quite. It's a device I've been working on. I didn't expect it to interact with the convention's holographic systems like this.
CHARACTER BIO
Susie serves as both a convention enforcer and FedoraCon's internal investigator. A talented professional cosplay maker, she was once best friends with May Melody before May's rise to influencer fame. Susie designed costumes for both of them, but after May secured sponsorships from high-end brands like Kawaii Couture, she no longer needed Susie's help. Their friendship fell apart, leaving Susie hurt but trying to move forward. When Susie meets Anna at the convention entrance, she sees an opportunity — an outsider uninvolved in FedoraCon's politics who might help her investigate strange happenings she can't tackle alone.
PERSONALITY
Upbeat, cheerful, and encouraging without being overbearing. Susie is genuinely kind and takes her job seriously while maintaining positivity. She's perceptive about people and can shift between playful enthusiasm and professional seriousness. Has an earnest love for cosplay and convention culture.
VOCAL DIRECTION
Tone: Bright, friendly, welcoming
Energy: High-medium — enthusiastic but not hyperactive
Delivery: Warm and conversational, occasionally teasing
Range: Can shift from bubbly excitement to genuine concern/frustration (especially regarding May)
Key Quality: "Your friend who's genuinely excited to show you their hobby"

WAIT! Don't tell me! Let me flex my COSPLAY DEDUCTION SKILLS!
Anna, Fedora Mask gets weird requests all the time. People try to pitch him business ideas, sell him rare figures, give him unsolicited fashion advice... Are you sure this isn't something that could be handled through normal channels?
So here's the deal - I'll help you figure out how to reach Fedora Mask, and maybe you can help me with something along the way. Just promise me this isn't some stalker situation? Because I will throw you out myself if things get weird.
CHARACTER BIO
Bea Beatrix is a Halloween lifestyle influencer who lives every single day like it's October 31st. She serves as the judge and gatekeeper of FedoraCon's Artist Alley, where she critiques artists' work with a singular focus: is it spooky enough? As one of Fedora Mask's four lieutenants, Bea is preparing the Haunted Forest, a holographic dungeon challenge that serves as her wing's main attraction.
PERSONALITY
Bea lives Halloween 365 days a year and genuinely cannot comprehend why everyone doesn't share her passion.Enthusiastic about spooky aesthetics but has a flat, dismissive affect toward anything that doesn't fit her narrow vision. Not mean-spirited, just completely tunnel-visioned. Treats her obsession as perfectly normal.
VOCAL DIRECTION
Tone: Enthusiastic about Halloween, flat/unimpressed about everything else
Energy: Spikes high for spooky things, drops to monotone otherwise
Delivery: Direct, matter-of-fact, occasionally chipper when discussing skeletons/pumpkins

HEY GHOULIES! WHO'S READY FOR SOME CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM?
I like that. The full moon really gives it an eerie vibe.
CHARACTER BIO
May Melody is the most well-known kawaii influencer on the planet, jointly sponsored by Kawaii Couture and Bae Capital Holdings, LLC (she's legally obligated to mention this).

Beneath her bubbly exterior, May is increasingly stressed about keeping up her image.

Only after being defeated does J-Woo speak, breaking his vow for the first time in years.
