There is a discord link at the bottom of the project description, but be sure to read the rest of this before joining! (you may join even if you are not auditioning.)
De Novo: Reproduce the World Anew
This project is a free-to-play fan project inspired by the Danganronpa series. In this story, eighteen people from all around the world, all each with their own "Aptitudes" for a specific talent , are trapped in forest camp completely isolated from the outside world, with a horrifying hog who claims is their "Director" telling them that the only way out is to kill.
Information and Expectations
This project may consist of scenes depicting violence, death, blood, cursing, psychological distress, sensitive topics, like trauma or mental illness, and other potentially sensitive material. This project is not for kids!
This project is early in development, so characters, setting, and story are subject to change. Discord is strongly recommended as most updates and information will be discussed there.
This project is purely for fun and details like the deadline are flexible and subject to change as the game progresses. Some roles may not be determined until later phases in the project. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me!
Please include discord in your auditions. You're free to apply to multiple roles or characters. For creative roles, please provide an example of past works. Note that this game will be shared publicly.

Important!
This project, while original, is inspired by danganronpa. As such, I am not associated with Spike Chunsoft, Team Danganronpa, or other fan Danganronpa works.
You must be 16 years or older to apply for these roles.
This is a long-term project and will likely take a long time to complete! Please only submit auditions if you are willing to stick around for the long run.
There is a chance for early casting or back-up roles! Please be aware that roles can be chosen before the due date.
I'm not looking for AI or AI-assisted works. Any AI content will be rejected.
There's also a discord for auditions, questions, and updates. Joining this server is strongly recommended, if you'd like to join or share, feel free! (https://discord.gg/6patzDeKY4)
