The following casting call is a preface to a game I've been working on for quite some time now. This audio drama is not indicative of the content or structure of the game. The characters and setting will carry over, but this introductory chapter will be left out.
There will be no NSFW content in this production itself, but there will be in the final product. If you would not like to be associated with either incarnation because of this, I completely understand. In addition, there is no concrete guarantee that the actors who will be cast for this project will be the same as the ones included in the final version of the game. They will, however, be heavily considered to reprise their roles.
The game will be a paid project [if crowdfunding permits it], but please note that it is still quite some time away. This audio drama will not be a paid project.
With all that out of the way, allow me to talk about the story itself.
GENRE: Yuri/Psychological/Horror/Drama/Slice-of-life
This is the story of five beautiful girls who live in a completely normal house together. There is absolutely nothing unusual about it. Their days are filled with joy and splendor -- it's almost as if they're a family. Nothing bad ever happens here. Everything is okay. Everything is going to be okay. The house is completely normal. Nothing is wrong. Life is beautiful. Life is beautiful and god loves all of us. Amen.
Come! 68747470733a2f2f747769747465722e636f6d2f417265596f75486170707948657265
Please visit them. They are lonely.
Detached and quiet. Moves into the house first and becomes close with Ai right away.
Shiori will serve as the narrator for this audio drama, thus having a slightly heavier line count. Most of her lines will be spoken directly to the viewer in monologue form. Looking for someone able to convey very subtle emotion as Shiori is the type to keep everything hidden beneath the surface.
Voice References: Medium to Medium-low. Raven (Teen Titans). Rui (Domestic Girlfriend)
LINES: 31 Total (Some lines are a bit longer than others)
(Trying to get out of being dragged into a game she very obviously does not want to play)
Oh wow, would you look at the time? I should really be getting out of here.
Good night, everybody. It’s been fun. Cool game. Glad we could all experience this together.
(Emotionless/Narrating/Asking the listener)
What is it that keeps you awake at night?
For me, I hear footsteps.
I hear other things too.
Can you hear them?
(Emotionless/Narrating)
There is no god here. The windows are boarded.
There are no good things. No treasures.
It's all made up...
This house is upside down.
Known as the resident angel of the house. Ai is always bright and bubbly, but not to the point where it becomes annoying. She's the only girl in the house with a good relationship with everyone.
Her bright and bubbly nature could be a thorn in her side, though, as she has a hard time dealing with unfortunate situations.

(Excited/Organizing a slumber party)
Mhm! You can all bring your pillows and blankets and stuff into my room and we can all hang out and go to sleep together!
It’ll be super fun! Me and Shiori will share a bed and the rest of you can sleep on the floor.
(Being overly helpful and rattling off ways she's helped out)
Yuko! The dishes were super dirty so I decided to clean them myself.
Oh! And I also mopped the floor, and cleaned the counters, and took out the garbage, and reorganized the pantry, and-
(Meeting Shiori for the first time. Excited)
Shiori? That's such a pretty name! Have you been here long?
Do you like it?
A fiery, badass tomboy with a tsundere side. Setsuna is the third girl to move into the house and is closer to Ai and Kyoko than she is to anyone else.
Despite her tough exterior, she's actually a big softie. She just doesn't let it show much.
Voice References: Medium to Medium-low. Saki Nikaidou (Zombieland Saga), Tomoe Udagawa (BanG Dream!), Ymir (Attack on Titan)
LINES: 8 Total
(Getting bombarded by Ai and Kyoko after walking into the room)
Hey, what the hell?! I would have just stayed in bed if I knew you two were gonna team up on me the second I came down here!
(Innocent but slightly maniacal. Waiting for Ai to choose who the cutest girl in the house is)
Yeah, come on. It’s not like any of us are going to be offended or whatever. You just need to be honest.
(Just moved in. Trying to not come off too strong)
Cool, cool. Well, don't let me bother ya. I'm gonna go pick out a room and all that jazz. I guess I'll see you two for dinner?
The motherly character in the house. If there are ever any issues or problems, she's always the first to try and resolve them. The other girls are aware of this and normally try to calm down and not cause trouble while she's around.
That being said, she's still a part of the gang and everyone likes her. Very close with Kyoko as the two of them move in around the same time.
Voice References: Medium. Sachi Komine (Grisaia Series), Chisaki Hiradaira (Nagi No Asukara)
LINES: 7 Total
(Kind but assertive)
If you don’t at least do the dishes today, Setsuna is going to kill you.
Actually, no. I’m going to kill you. Then Setsuna is going to eat off of your body since there are no plates left to use.
(Embarrassed when Ai mentions how cute Kyoko is when she's pretending to be asleep)
A-Ai! You’re just going to make her bad habits even worse!
(Embarrassment turns into concern)
What are we going to do when Kyoko decides that even walking takes up too much energy? She’s too big for you to carry around the house.
(Trying to figure out where Kyoko is going to sleep. The last bedroom is full. Slightly hesitant)
That's right. Papa is using it as a store room for the time being.
I suppose Kyoko could stay with me, but-
Kyoko is a rather complex character. Despite being brash and mischievous, she's incredibly intellectual and spends most of her time reading. She's not afraid of turning any situation into a joke and has a hard time gauging when to stop at times.
Very close with Yuko, Ai, and Setsuna. Doesn't talk to Shiori much. Finds her unapproachable.
Voice reference: Medium. Yuki Minakami (Subarashiki Hibi), Miyako Miaymura (ef)
LINES: 7 Total
(Pumped because she gets to sleep with Yuko)
Coolio! I might take a little while to fall asleep, but I promise I'll be just like a rock once I do.
You won't even know I'm there!
(Tired of reading the same thing over and over again)
Yeah, it kind of sucks. I’ve been on a strict “dead poets only” diet for around a week and it’s starting to take a toll on me.
I’m worried that I might even start hallucinating and talking to birds or whatever else those guys did for fun.
(Taken aback)
What the hell? Do you guys really think I’m some sort of evil, nympho woman who’s only in it for the thrills?
(Betrayed. Shiori chimes in and jokingly insults her.)
Oh hey, Shiori, thanks for joining in on the conversation. You’re a big help.
Please note that all audio for Papa will be mixed and backmasked. I'll handle all of that, though. Just record your lines normally. Most of his lines in this audio drama are relatively short.
Papa is menacing, mysterious, and rather monotonous. I do not want to disclose any more information about him.
Voice References: Low. No particular characters in mind. Be creative.

You are not alone. I am here with you.

There will be more soon...Two beautiful girls.
(Emotionless)
Are you happy here?
