In the game you - player (the main hero), lead small group of refugees to Light, through world which falls to darkness


The Narrator + Main hero role details


Main focus of the game is accessibility and it effects this role especially

The Narrator calmly and softly, but, with a note of melancholy, describes scene surroundings [lines are also written in game interface], storyline elements and, actions of characters. Like in audiobook.

The Narrator voice actor has biggest lines count

Main hero is small refugees group leader. The character is, basically, burned to dust shape-shifting smoke cloud, in preferred form of some gothis-like creature with horns and half hidden face. The character was burned out [in this setting - literally] and don't have any memories of life, besides feeling of still-flaming heart.

Their lines could be silent as in many rpg with silent main hero, but - accessibility. Blind people need to be able to get this part of in-game text, so. I keeping that "silent character lines = you read it in your voice in your head" effect with merging narrator and main hero roles + it's my idea of how to make it in accessible way

  • (The Narrator) "World is a Hell of a place. Was it always like this? Probably. Realization just takes time. But you’re not the only one who enlightened…"

  • (The Narrator + Main hero line) "You say, enthusiastically 'Yeah, let's hurry up and leave this forest quickly! Because if I will get in another spider trAP-'. [spider trap sound]. You got in another spider trap, and now you jumping around trying to get it off your face."

Landre role details


Landre is middle age [voice should be mature and husky] asian woman. She is resistance artist, part of main characters refugees group. She has spiky personality, use sarcasm then she is mad at something. At same time she cares about others - with her art, in this surreal-magic setting, she can create things like cover from rain, or Light and help a lot with this to the group. She can be kind, tender, caring and loving with not-her-enemies. In lore she is a bit quite, cause she needs a lot of energy to create her creations of Light, but in actual game she has many lines. If to take all 4 characters of game, to scale of tiredness - she is in the middle


She has large burn going from her chest through her face

Mysterious Friend role details


Quiet person in rugs with hidden face, a part of mains character refugees group. He sounds tired and sick most of the time and his weakness progresses.


(important update: i didn't wrote this first cause it's kind of spoiler of ending - the character reveal his apperance, but i realised i need to write it, cause, it's POC character, so

VA on this role suppose to be POC person

the character is NOT a bad guy or cartoonish villain, so, role of him is interesting and he treated respectfully by narrative, so it's not the case then POC person is requested to play something offensive. I can't say more on page cause it's spoilers, but if you want to try this role and want more details, you can write me message)
