RE-TRIAL is a dating sim inspired by Crush Crush and Doki Doki Literature Club! You run a successful rent-a-partner business where people can rent you out as a fake partner. As the player, you have the special ability to reset whenever you mess up or for a reset bonus! However, it seems one of your clients have caught wind of your resets.
Hello everyone!!! After listening to all of the submissions, the final decision will be made in less than 24 hours! You were all amazing so it's gonna be difficult, but honestly I'm so happy that so many talented people are interested in this project!
Thanks for auditioning and check back in tomorrow to see who got the role! (The actual actors will get a PM before the announcement :3)
Hey everyone! Honestly I'm shocked people were as interested in the project as they are, but I'm also pretty happy about it, so thank you!
My beta testers (and when I said beta testers I mean my one friend and my brothers LOL) and I are gonna sit down next week and listen to all the recordings, after that we're gonna start shortlisting.
Again, thank you so much for the support, and you've all sounded amazing so far!
Your first client of the week! Corrie is a simple guy, describing himself as an “NPC”. He’s going to college for business since that’s what his friends chose. Being the sheep he is, he’s requesting your renting service so his pals will stop bugging him about getting a partner!
Hey! So I suppose you’re my “pretend partner”, huh? Gee, I hope I don’t bore you.
What do I like? Uh… I guess water is cool. Unless you don’t think so! Then water is totally dumb…
You’re actually really sweet… outside of the whole fake dating thing. Even if it’s an act, you really do brighten my day.
Your second client of the week! He’s just a broody loner guy who usually hates company, but his beloved sister requested that he bring a date to the next get together, so now he’s hired you. He may be a hardass, but really he’s just a socially awkward guy who’s inexperienced in the world of relationships.
I guess we’re stuck together for a bit… Lucky you. Just don’t expect me to be too romantic, you’ll basically just be a prop.
I saw a cat on my way here. She meowed at me and weaved in and out of my legs. Clearly, she got attached way too fast. Could never be me.
Oh... you're going? N-No, it's fine. I don't really care whether you stay or leave.
Elliot may look like your typical chud loser (which he is), but he's trying to change! He's a bit nervous and awkward, but he's got a whole lot of spirit! He hired you to act as a "tutorial" for social interaction, so don't be too put off if he acts a bit socially inept.
Uh, Hi there! God, this is weird. I swear I rarely use my voice. Is it annoying? You can tell me if it's annoying.
I really hope I don't come off as off putting with my... whole personality. I get over-excited with things I like and... kinda forget this is a two sided conversation.
I really like you. N-Not to be creepy or anything, but... You make me feel normal.
He's definitely not the kind of client you're used to. Usually your clients are people who aren't really the most well versed in human interaction, but Noel is different. Noel is charming, he's charismatic, and conventionally quite handsome. He claims that he just needs someone to accompany him for social events, but he seems to know way more than he should.
And he likes you a lot.
And I mean a lot a lot.
Hello. Have we met before? I'm getting a profound sense of déjà vu.
Pardon me, I'm a bit late. Usually I'm more on top of things but recent life events have been... a bit distracting
I want you. I will stop at nothing to keep everyone else from having you.
