Eternal Dawn

Eternal Dawn

Project Overview

About:

In a world with Vampires, Demons, and Soul Stealers, humans are a closely guarded secret. Only appearing in brief mythology Anna fell in love with the idea of these supposedly fictional beings. That is, of course, until two of them begin to live with her.

Eternal Dawn is a freeware duo-protagonist otome / drama with simple RPG battling elements. The VN switches between Anna and Alice’s perspective frequently as you determine their path during the linear plot.

Be warned that works will need to be in the game before April 1st as the visual novel is part of NaNoRenO. If we find a suitable voice, we will be casting right away. 

Preferably all voice actors should be over 18.


Romance info:

> Alice and Anna both have female and male romantic interests.

> Alice's romantic endeavors are implied all to be rather chaste.

> Romance routes are safe for work. Routes end in either a kiss, proposal, date or marriage. There will always be areas up to interpretation.

> Though it is classified as an otome, the romance comes second to the primary plot. Due to the scale of the project, there are only a few romantic events with the endings being the end goal.


Release Information:

The release date of the game is April 1st. The production is entirely classified as a freeware, meaning donations and payments will not / cannot be accepted. 

Because of the nature of the game, images will be released slowly through the month since the jam begins on March 1st.

To see the general artstyle of the game please refer to Written in the Stars

Latest Updates

  • Audition sheet changes: Anabella, Anna, Alice, Brandon, Riley

    Hey there everyone! Thank you all for your amazing auditions so far. We've had a bunch of auditions for the boys that are honestly going to make it impossible to decide. As auditions go on, we notice trends that are due to lack of information on our end so we've updated a few audition sheets to account for it. Riley: Just a reminder (This is because of my email auditions, not so much on here) that we're not looking for a cis female to voice Riley nor are we looking for just any voice for her. We're specifically looking for a non-binary person, preferably with a similar identity as her. We're very adamant on giving this role to a trans person. If no non-binary person is found, she will go to unvoiced. Anabella: > Anabella now has a medium-high voice listing, as she's meant to be a preppy mean girl. Anna: > A few changes were made for clarity. Alice: > Alice's voice has been clarified. She's meant to sound very sweet but her words are venomous. She shouldn't have any sort of edge so she can be distinguished from Anabella. She's more grumbly than mean. Brandon: > One of Brandon's lines was fixed for flow. There was also a slight edit to specify his personality as being an outgoing energy rather than hyper. We've also added portraits for Anna, Alice, Bella and Kane so far. Riley, Brandon and Kierce are coming soon <3

Role assigned to: CaitlinDiVA

Role: Heroine (Romantic interests: Brandon, Kane, Anna) 

Character Trigger Warnings: Past abuse, infertility and Mental Health
Please be aware that you will be dealing with dialogue revolving around these topics. They are relatively implicit but still canon.

Alice's character largely revolves around mental health. It becomes clear that Alice struggles with her self-image and depression, to the point that other characters fear for herself. Alice has a burn on her shoulder from her past.


Voice & Personality:

Alice speaks sweetly to those she likes, but she can be grumbly when she has her guard up. People initially perceive her to be cute until she opens her mouth. Her voice should be medium-high tone, pleasant to listen to. The sweetness of her voice makes her insults offputting. She’s a bit grumbly and angst filled. Her voice should not be sharp sounding. She’s basically a ball of angst that can’t control her words, so just grumbles insults.

Story Blurb: 

Alice is one of the heroines and is the primary catalyst for most of the conflict of the story. She moves in with Anna's family, who soon discover that she's human. She appears docile but she's outspoken and rebellious, often to the point of being self-destructive. Though her reasoning is unknown she has a disdain towards Vampires.

NOTE:  Alice is required to record battle sound clips such as shouts, move titles etc. You may add these onto your audition if you wish. Please do make sure you are able to do these sound clips before you audition for the character.

NOTE 2: Please be sure to make us aware of any restrictions you may have on language or themes.

  • [Guarded / Grumbly] You're here to have some sort of conversation with me? I charge by the word. 

    [...]Stop making that dumb face. You'll break a mirror and have ten years of bad luck.

  • [Angry / Upset / Heartbroken / Tearful] That was all I had! You ruined all that was left for me-- you took it away so you could be the moral hero of your story.  You did exactly what you set out to do. I hope it was worth it.

  • [Warmly / Internalizing] Those years took something from me that I never thought I’d find again.  I wish I could’ve told the past version of myself that it would be okay. Then again, I don’t know if she’d believe me.

Role assigned to: Wight

Role: Heroine (Romantic interests: Alice, Anabella, Kierce) 

Character Warnings: 

Anna uses the word b*tch as well as milder language such as 'hell' and 'damn'. Though these words are replaceable I would rather that you state beforehand if these make you uncomfortable so I can be prepared.


Voice & Personality:

Anna is bubbly and bright but also naive and ignorant. Animated and expressive she's charming but also can be a bit cartoonish. She gets annoyed sometimes, but is usually rather peppy. She's constantly salty that Alice doesn't like her. She should sound cheerful, but she also has her quiet moments as well. Anna should be likable but she's not always in the right. Her voice should be higher pitched, energetic and sweet sounding .


Story Blurb: 

Anna is a vampire and the second heroine of the story. Her romantic interests are primarily female though she does have male romantic endeavors. Anna is excited to have Alice and Brandon move in but quickly realizes that Alice doesn't like her. 


NOTE:  Anna is required to record battle sound clips such as shouts, move titles etc. You may add these onto your audition if you wish. Please do make sure you are able to do these sound clips before you audition for the character.

NOTE 2: Please be sure to make us aware of any restrictions you may have on language or themes.

  • [Whiny / Groaning] Pleeease just say that you love each other its making me lose my miiiindddd.

  • [Sweetly, blushing a little] You know... This is going to sound a bit silly but I know how you feel. I've always felt like I was the odd one out, like no one cared that I was alone. But I met you and you treated me just like you did everyone else. It made me feel... normal. I'm grateful for your friendship, Alice. I hope I can become of value to you someday too.

  • [Shocked / Bewildered] W-W-W-Whaaaaaaaaat?! No, no, no, no, no no! You're pulling a prank on me, right? That's it! This isn't real. I'm just dreaming this, right?RIGHT?!

Role:  Alice's Romantic Interest


Voice & Personality:

Kane appears stern and intimidating but he's genuinely a laid-back and nice guy.  He can be smooth talking but he can be rather lazy and has very little drive to actually follow up on any flirtations. His voice should be attractive sounding, lower and relatively cool. He should be able to comfort and calm others while still being somewhat mysterious and not yielding.  Kane also says rather funny things in a deadpanned delivery.

His voice should be a bit lower tone-wise.


Story Blurb: 

Kane is Anna's older brother and object of Alice and Bella's affection. He's a homemaker and enjoys doing domestic tasks, but he also likes to let loose and makes jokes to cheer others up. Kane is relatively a neutral figure in Anna and Alice's conflict. Though his POV is not shown, Kane is one of the primary characters of the story.


NOTE:  The characters in this series battle in a sparring format. If you'd like to try for some battle voice clips, (Shouts etc.) go for it! 

NOTE 2: Please indicate whether or not you're willing to record battle voice clips, as well as restrictions you may have on language or themes.

  • We live in a world where magical things have become mundane, but you still manage to enchant me.

  • [Deadpanned] So Riley... Is it true? Are you being a total meanie to your darling little sister?

  • I'm not here to take sides, just to take a nap. If you want my opinion though, I'd say that you're making a bad choice in asking me.

Role assigned to: VoiceOverKrona

Role:  Alice's Romantic Interest, Friend; Anna's temporary romantic endeavor. 

RELATIONSHIP WARNING:

Alice and Brandon were family friends. Few years prior to the events of the story, Brandon loses everything and is taken in by Alice's mother. This is part of Alice's 'misfortune' as Brandon was the boy she liked as a teenager.  The two had feelings for each other but suppressed them to avoid complications. 


Voice & Personality:

> Boy next door / childhood friend type

Brandon is outgoing, friendly but also can get angry when the need arises. He enjoys cracking jokes to keep the mood light but can get annoyed or concerned rather easily.  He's energetic in his happy-go-lucky way but never gets hyper. He's always rather friendly and all-smiles.

His voice should sound like a typical anime hero or boy-next-door / childhood friend.


Story Blurb: 

Brandon is a human and Kane's friend. He and Alice go together to share a house with Kane's family, keeping the fact that he's human a secret from them. Alice is everything he has and he looks out for her when he can. Brandon begins to panic when Alice goes missing. He's a main character of the story, secondary to Alice and Anna but on par with Kane.


NOTE:  The characters in this series battle in a sparring format. If you'd like to try for some battle voice clips, (Shouts etc.) go for it! 

NOTE 2: Please indicate whether or not you're willing to record battle voice clips, as well as restrictions you may have on language or themes.

  • [Cheerful / playful] I’m on my way! I’ll see you in basically no time at all, so be ready to be graced with my awesomeness!

  • [Softly] I used to pretend that the buildings were lit up with their own souls. During the day they were so empty, unoccupied shells but at night they were given life.

  • [Upset / Concerned] Alice is--!!

    We have to go look for her, we need to make sure she's okay! 

    You'll never understand, Anna. She's everything to me! She's all I have.

Role assigned to: Lumisau

Character Gender: 

Riley is non-gender conforming / Non-Binary but kept her original pronouns (She/Her, still refers to herself as Anna's sister).   I would strongly prefer a person with a similar gender identity to voice her. (AFAB but non-binary) I may keep her unvoiced if it comes to it.


Voice & Personality:

 See above warning in regards to her gender identity

Riley is stoic but also can be playful. She works to help support her siblings and works with Kane to parent Anna. She's cool, calm and collected but also loves to tease and play with her younger sister.

Her voice should be calm, cool and a bit uptight sounding. 


Story Blurb: 

Riley is Anna's older sister/sibling. She has an off-screen girlfriend. She acts as the mediator between Alice and Anna and often steps up as the form of comfort and voice of reason. 

NOTE:  The characters in this series battle in a sparring format. If you'd like to try for some battle voice clips, (Shouts etc.) go for it! 

NOTE 2: Please indicate whether or not you're willing to record battle voice clips, as well as restrictions you may have on language or themes.


  • [Comforting] You don't have to know what you want to be in this world yet.  You can't find yourself without being lost for a bit, after all. 

  • Anna, I mean this with every atom of my being-- every piece of my heart and soul:

    That is the worst idea I have ever heard and you're immeasurably stupid for even considering that to be a possibility.

  • [Deadpanned] Oh my god, you’re actually serious right now.

    [Lecturing] Look, Anna we have people coming to live here with us. We really need to get it together and pretend that we’re a normal family for at least the first five minutes.

Anabella "Bella" Bianchi

Role assigned to: VOWhitneyWilliams

Role: Anna's love Interest and best friend.


Character Warnings: 

Anabella is generally a toxic person with redeeming qualities. Bella is Anna's love interest, but learns to be a better person.

Bella, like the other characters, should be voiced by someone over the age of 18 because of her innuendos in her dialogue.


Voice & Personality:

Bella is alluring, confident and a little bit mean. She gets her way one way or another, no matter what it takes. She has no filter when it comes to her friends but tends to play a more attractive persona when around someone she likes. Anna is one of the few people Bella trusts and lets her guard down. 

Her voice should be higher pitched and mean-girl like.


Story Blurb: 

Anna's best friend and romantic interest, Bella is known for being one of the most sought-after women by men everywhere. She's become recognized as a heart breaker, but can't seem to get the one man she actually likes: Anna's older brother Kane. Bella has villainous qualities, but is often foiled by Anna. Even though she has romantic interests in Kane, Bella realizes that her infatuation was to get closer to Anna.


NOTE:  The characters in this series battle in a sparring format. If you'd like to try for some battle voice clips, (Shouts etc.) go for it! 

NOTE 2: Please indicate whether or not you're willing to record battle voice clips, as well as restrictions you may have on language or themes.

  • [Alluring / flirting] You were thinking about me last night, weren't you? Couldn't get me off of your mind? I wasn't around when you needed me, so let me make that up to you right now.

  • [Upset] You don't get it! You're my dorky best friend that can't hold anyone down, but I'm the one who's supposed to get whoever she wants! This isn't supposed to happen to me, only to people like you.

  • [delightfully Villainous / invested] My plan is quite simple, really. We start by taunting her-- maybe just verbally at first. Then, we take her laptop hostage and threaten to throw it in the pool until she tells us what we need to know. If she still refuses, we learn every single detail about her life and watch as the light drains from her eyes as we spread the darkest secrets to the ones she loves!

  • [Charming] Hey there desk buddy! I'm Kierce and I swear I'm as charming as I am handsome. I hope that we will get to know each other rather intimately... as classmates of course. [...]

    [Quietly / thoughtfully]  There's nothing really left for me here. I found my place, but it's not very bright. No matter how dull things looked for you though, you always managed to laugh through it. I admire that, sincerely. I hope someday I can make my own sunshine but for now I'll settle for you.

  • [Cheerfully] My friends and I are going to grab some tea and I wanted to ask you to come along! If we're going to be desk buddies we might as well get along outside of class too, right? 

  • [Confident] Why, I'm just fulfilling what I was brought here to do. Does that make me the villain? That's fine. I'm not here to agonize over how you feel about me.

I'm 99% sure that I won't be able to find anyone but I am willing to consider skill swaps for this?? 

I'm primarily seeing a few short loopable background pieces for the visual novel, enough to give the VN some variety for the various scenes of the game but not a ton of them.

Again, not overly optimistic, just thought I'd drop it here!
