Look outside: The Cinematic Dub
Project Overview
Look outside is a rpg horror game that was released earlier this year. And, in my opinion, it is a masterwork of characterization and storytelling. So, to flesh out the many colorful characters in the games universe even further, I am creating the first ever full cinematic dub of the game! With many parts of many different sizes, there is room for actors of all experience levels! So, if you want to be a part of a groundbreaking tribute to a groundbreaking game, this is the project for you!

As the player character, Sam's personality is subject to what kind of playthrough is being done. Due to the Dub following the route to the perfect ritual ending, Sam will be portrayed as a kind and altruistic individual. His voice should reflect that, with his tone softening during certain moments or with certain characters.

You walked into their house and killed them, that's what a murder looks like.
It's ok.. it's ok... Just don't open your eyes...
A-are you alright?
Sam's next door neighbor, Sybil serves as a constant companion and conversationalist for Sam. Sybil strikes an interesting balance of being easy to trust and be around, but also being very mysterious and unknown. With it being somewhat unclear who or what she is, her voice actor will need to master a style of conducting an approachable and friendly character while making things seem ever so slightly off.
Look outside, it's beautiful...
There's something wrong outside... I can't describe it. But it's best if you don't look.
One of Sam's neighbors, and the his first companion to venture out with him into the building. After being bitten by his sister, he suffered an ailment where teeth grew over and consumed most of his face and head. But, unlike the rest of his family, he managed to stay lucid. His voice actor will have to maintain a raspy voice with a slight lisp.
*Say something you think would fit*
A girl who looked outside, she clearly lost her sanity in her transformation, but her friendship and loyalty to Sam burns through her madness, making her a valuable ally.
You fight good for a pipsqueak! Heh heh heh... what to hang out?
You ever think about what it's like to die?
I'll sit around for a while, but I'll come looking for you if you take too long!
A tall, threatening woman who Sam allows to stay, Helen is one of the few cursed who actively despises the visitor. She starts out abrasive and threatening to the others, but slowly warms up to them over time.
(When asked who she is when first meeting sam.)I'm nobody. I need a place to crash. Got nowhere to go.
(When asked why she doesn't take off her mask.)People scream when they see my face, so I wear this.
(When asked as pressed about what she is thinking.)I'm thinking about the visitor. I'm thinking about killing it. Ripping it to shreds with my knife.
Aster is the most scientific of the Astronomers, he is very systematic and planned out in his practices regarding the visitor.
Aha! Another lucid individual! Well then! Salutations and so on! I am Astor, an astronomer. I am researching our astral predicament.
Outside light seems to burn away living essence. The robes are a bit stuffy, but better not to venture any risk!
IT IS TIME! IT IS TIME!
One of the Astronomers, Aureilus is probably the most unsure and doubtful of the members. He is fairly nervous and talks with a stutter. But in the end, for better or worse, his devotion holds firm. He should have a slightly wavering and stuttering voice, signifying someone wrestling with doubts about something near incomprehensible.
Eh? D-don't attack! I'm lucid! I'm Aureilus, an astronomer studying the visitor.
H-he has to! He watches from light years away! You really think some clouds can stop the visitor?
I CAN FEEL IT! WE WILL ASCEND!!!
*Say something you think would fit*
You are Sam, yes? I have heard a lot about you. I'm am Jasper, leader of the Astronomers. We seek four offerings for the visitor.
The apartment buildings landlord, Mr Henderson is unchanged when Sam first finds him, but the creatures that are attacking him eventually cause him to mutate. He is very suspicious of Sam, and when he begins to change, he becomes obsessed with him paying his rent. As time goes on, he becomes more unhinged, before finally attacking Sam as a giant monster. He should have a fairly stereotypical elderly voice to start. But it should warp and distort as he changes.
You won't take me alive you varmits!
Come over here, let me have a look at you, son.
Good... it's about time you took responsibility...
A survivor on the second floor, Jean initially asks Sam to retrieve her laundry for her. But as time goes on, he begins to transform, her peak outside catching up to her. She eventually transforms into a hydra, with multiple heads that begin attacking people across her floor. After Sam saves her, she is actually able to find peace with herself.
Listen, I left a full load of clothes in the laundrymat on the ground floor. I'm... not really able to leave my apartment right now... I think I might be sick...
Make it stop! Make them stop! Please! I can't control them!
A man found on the first floor, Nestor has stayed human and sane, but that changes when he becomes involved with Rafta. His encounter with her results in him becoming an amorphous worm creature that goes on to infect several other people. He should start out with a normal voice, with a more unhinged, distorted voice after he transforms.
You say this is from that thing in the pipe? Uh... I don't know what to think about that... Whatever's in there can't be human. Not anymore.
It's in my eye! Eeearrghhh!!! Get it out!!!
I would have never looked in the pipe without your encouragement Sam, what happens next is all thanks to you...
*Say something you think would fit*
Rafta is a cursed person trapped in a pipe on the first floor. While not malicious herself, her cursed form causes infection and insanity in everyone she comes in contact with. When Nestor eventually frees her, a series of unfortunate events ensues that ends in the loss of several innocent lives.
Hello? Is someone there? I need help...
Thank goodness! Your second normal person I've seen in days! Everyone else was either a monster, crazy or both!
I should be able to get out of here soon, but I don't know if I will like what comes out the other side...
A distant eldritch being who's presence causes the apocalyptic event the game centers around. It doesn't know of beings besides itself before meeting Sam, so it's encounter with him is very eye opening. It's voice should feel vast and echoing.
Sam. This is you.
Are we... different? Sam?
I break things when I look...
A stand up comic before the apocalypse, the laughing mold is less looking for a meal than for an audience. While not the best, he has some skill, and wants to improve his act. A deeper, hamy voice with a slight unhinged edge would fit this character well.
Can you help me with my stand up comedy routine? I had the second worst rated act in the last comedy show. Will you help me?
Ahem, why are yeasts so honest? No cap.
Well, look at me. If you see this face on a billboard, what kinda of jokes are you expecting? I had to adapt my material.
A novelist who wrote their observations of the visitor before being consumed by madness, the typewrither is what they have become. They speak in the third person, as if they were narrating their own story.
The hunter had come face to face with his greatest fear: the many headed hydra! The beast had not noticed him, or so he thought. He crept through the bushes, readying an ambush!
The hunter prepared to hack off one of the heads in a single stroke!
The hunter felt his life slipping away, was this really the end? Would he ever she his family again?
A strange creature that lives as part of the wall on floor one. It hunger ravenously, and this hunger eventually being Sam to a major moral choice. The mouths voice be as bloodcurdling as possible, and, considering it's anatomy, each word should be forced; as if it has difficulty speaking.
Bring me a child...
Feed me a child...
Then stay here forever...
Sam's neighbor, and the first boss of the game, Vincent's importance comes from him introducing some of the many monster mechanics and further showing the way people's minds can unravel when they see the visitor.
(Askrd if he looked outside) maaaybe I did...
Come closer... Let me get CLOSE!
Yesss....
The wounded man is the first encounter of the game, and the first time we see the effects the visitor can have on people. Given the fact that his encounter sets the tone for what is to come, it is important his va is well chosen.
(When asked if he wants help) Help... yes, help...
(When asked why he stabbed himself) It's in the way! I can't see!
Maniacal, unhinged laughter.
Throughout the game, numerous people show up at Sam's door. Some giving help, others seaking it. While not major players in the games cast, each has a unique personality and serves to further expand the games world.
Hi, yeah. Did you order a pizza?
I am Father Andrew. Since it has become unsafe for my flock to join me, I've been going door to door to help however I can. I do not recognize you, my child. Do you attend church?
Umm.. I need medical help... I'm sorry, do you have any supplies?
There are several survivors living on the first floor of the apartment building. There are two main groups: the people in Mutts fish and chips, and the soldiers in the war zone. Each one give a look at people trying to maintain a sense of self and community even after their world has fallen into chaos.
Eeheheh.... Welcome to Matt's fish and chips! I'm Mutt... Please, look around. And please... Feel free to ask out our special inventory... eheheheh....
I've got some very unpleasant memories I'd like to forget. It turns out a bus full of people being turned into monsters isn't a good place to be...
My whole family's gone mad, I'm the only one who kept it together..
There are a number of npcs in the basement, mainly in two groups. The group of survivors based in one of the rooms, and a group of children and their teacher scattered throughout the sewers. Both are groups leaning on each other, all trying to ride out the storm together.
*Say something you think would fit*
Various cursed, infected and insane littered throughout the building. Several vas will be needed to ensure these encounters are as unsettling and terrifying as they can be.
Near incomprehensible raving about the visitor.
Screams of pain and anger
Aggressive growling
