INTRODUCTION
Hi there, everybody! Matchmaking for Ghosts, a charming but eerie visual novel game about finding love in the afterlife, is currently accepting submissions.
The game, created by us, Adoraboo Studios, blends dark comedy and gothic storytelling in a warm, eerie setting.
Pre-alpha testing has already been finished, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We are currently looking for four voice performers to bring our primary cast to life with expressive sighs, gasps, brief voice lines, and emotional nuance as our December 2025 DEMO release approaches.
PROJECT OVERVIEWTitle: Matchmaking for Ghosts
Developer: Adoraboo Studios
Genre: Visual Novel / Dating Sim / Cozy Horror
Engine: Unity
Release Window: December 2025
Concept:
You’re a recently departed soul forced into a supernatural “dating game” run by Death himself. Eight ghosts each tied to a distinct emotion, must pair up or risk fading away forever. Every round peels back layers of regret, love, and identity, exploring what it means to be remembered.

ROLE BREAKDOWNSMARY - Sorrowful English OrphanVoice Type: Female • Soft British accent • Late teens–early 20s
Tone: Gentle, introspective, melancholic
Character Summary:
A Victorian orphan turned ghost, Mary embodies quiet sorrow and wistful strength. She carries herself with grace, but sometimes lets emotion spill over
Performance Notes:
Understated, emotional, grounded. A horror protagonist type of character.
Sample Prompts:
“Hmph” (pout)
“Ugh. I... I don’t mean to be insensitive, sorry. I’m just not fond of busy places like these… It’s overwhelming.
“I don’t know how to do this. I don’t know how to be… whatever this game wants me to be..” (fragile tone, depressed, wistful)
“Ah!” (scared, shocked)
I am not a chicken! Just start the bloody thing, will you… Just move slowly… Please… (Zack route where Mary is getting on a motorcycle)
ALICE - Sadistic NoblewomanVoice Type: Female • Neutral European accent • 20s–30s
Tone: Charismatic, venomous, elegant with bite
Character Summary:
Once a noblewoman, now a ghost with a flair for theatrics. Classy but cruelly blunt, Alice delights in manipulation and terror while secretly yearning for redemption.
Performance Notes:
Smooth, layered with menace and vanity. Capable of both sultry calm and sudden bursts of fury. Likely on the more mature side.
Sample Prompts:
“*Slight chuckle / giggle*” (Mischievous, evil, creepy)
“Oh, you want to impress me? Cute.”
“Tch— you bore me already.”
“I’m intrigued. Next time, I choose the victim. Don’t be late~”
RYDER - Warm-Hearted DetectiveVoice Type: Male • Mid-20s to early 30s • American or Latin accent
Tone: Warm, calm, confident with occasional rough edges
Character Summary:
A once-living Latin detective, Ryder represents bravery and grounded optimism. He’s the comforting voice in chaos of the game. He’s a bit goofy and gruff, but means the best.
Performance Notes:
Sincere, steady, with emotional restraint. Slight rasp may help. He smokes a bit.
Sample Prompts:
“So, what’s it gonna be, chief?”
“Ay diablo, it’s packed tighter than abuela’s pantry. Stay here, Mary. I’ll find another place to hide.”
Hey! Careful there. That’s a damn haunted house if I've ever seen one.”
“Sorry about that. It’s hard to keep my mouth shut when it comes to my work. Still a passion, y’know?”
Hmm… (thinking)
ZACK — Korean Gamer & BikerVoice Type: Male • 20s • Asian American
Tone: Relaxed, cool-headed, casually honest
Character Summary:
Zack is the type of ghost who always has a joke ready and seems to have everything worked out. He seldom lets people see the calm tiredness and… underlying bitterness that lies behind his laid-back exterior. When feelings emerge to the surface, they are honest and unfiltered.
Performance Notes:
Natural, warm, a little teasing. More lived-in realism than drama. Seems like he’s the cool one, as if he doesn't really care how things go, but he does deep down.
Sample Prompts:
“It’s chill, don’t worry ‘bout it. Different strokes for different folks, right? You do look a little out of place here, uh…”
Shit, my bad. Maybe lose the riddle next time, yeah?
“Nah, don’t sweat it. I’ve seen worse... way worse.”
“Haha. Told you, dude. Your job wasn’t everything”
“Oof. You’re never letting me off easy, huh?”
