THIS PROJECT IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED.
* THIS IS NOT A FAN GAME | THIS IS AN UNPAID PROJECT | REVSHARE FROM GAME SALES *
It's been so long! We casted for Samuda Interval's main cast in January of... 2022?
We're back to cast our demo's remaining NPCs as well as two main cast characters! While these are confirmed for the demo, we also plan to keep the voice actors we bring on for the main game! These are just the characters we know 100% for sure will be in the game since we're doing our demo right now.
Just to double make sure: this is a unpaid volunteer project. We plan to split revenue from game sales when the game comes out, but that'll be a long time and we can't guarantee any certain amount of payment. Make sure you're okay with this being an unpaid role!
This is a huge project, so there'll likely be more NPCs to come! Please join our Discord server for updates, to chat with the team/other supporters, and keep an eye out for more casting calls in the future! http://discord.gg/JEXQAJwGE3
NOTES:
- Please include 2-3 takes per line if possible. We're not super strict on this, but it would be helpful to have a few different options for your range!
We're opening Alpha testing applications to the public!
To be considered as an alpha tester, you must fulfill the following requirements:
have a Notion account (or create one)
be willing to give quality feedback
keep sensitive information private, and only share when/where we allow
More info in our Discord server! https://discord.gg/JEXQAJwGE3
Our second protagonist option! This is a lead role.
Keep in mind Sae-il will have A LOT OF LINES. In the demo, Haewon (Sae-il's twin, and the other protagonist option) has about 117 lines in the first day alone. So, quite a lot. And we're not done writing his lines, either! (Pretty close, but it's not officially done.)
Sae-il is Non-binary and Transmasculine, so we would prefer a Non-binary, Transmasculine, and/or queer VA.
Sae-il is this universe's equivalent of Asian/Latino, so we would prefer an Asian/Latino VA.
This doesn't mean we won't consider VAs that don't fit these requirements, but we will prioritize choosing one that fits. Since this is an unpaid role, we have to work with what we get.
Sae-il speaks with a monotonous tone, and a lot of his speech isn't super emotive. That said, he does show emotion sometimes, it's just somewhat subtle. He has a chill/cool vibe, and can be pretty sarcastic sometimes. Young masculine; smooth and kind of cool.
Sae-il is a generally stoic and quiet individual, though their sharp sarcasm comes out when the moment is right. Outwardly, they project the idea that they have their life together, when in reality they are screaming inside. They tend to avoid showing their emotions to others and keep things bottled up. They’re also outwardly a bit more negative and pessimistic despite generally being hopeful.
Fuck. Are you kidding me?
I need to get to my room before this guys flirts me to death.
These look super important and loved. If any of the pages fell out...
LEAD-ISH ROLE
Kil Ha-min aka Detective Kil. While not technically a lead role, she plays a big part in the main story.
Detective Ha-min Kil is this universe's equivalent of Asian (specifically Korean), so we would prefer an Asian/Korean VA. This doesn't mean we won't consider VAs that don't fit these requirements, but we will prioritize choosing one that fits. Since this is an unpaid role, we have to work with what we get.
Adult to middle aged woman; a bit rough, but pleasing.
PRONOUNCIATIONS
Kil - kill
Ha-min is a woman of justice. She is extremely altruistic, loyal, and follows the law to a T. She places the law on a pedestal, not looking deeper into the implications and flaws of the system. In her mind, the law is just. The law is fair. The law is the only way of morality. She also tends to view herself and her authority as an extension of the law; she almost forgets she’s an individual.
The name's Detective Kil. I'm the one leading the investigation into Professor Kirk's murder.
And I don't take too kindly to pranks or onlookers. Not when it comes to something as serious as this.
Now, go on back home. It's late and the murderer is still on the loose.
MINOR ROLE.
Minna Kirk, Professor Kirk's wife. Interviewed by the player about her wife's murder.
PRONOUNCIATIONS
Minna - [mih]-nah
Annesalm - [ah]-neh-sahlm
That's very sweet of you. What's your name, annesalm?
To be honest with you, it's so hard. We were married for a long time... and she was my best friend.
She... she never came home.
MINOR ROLE.
This dude has 2 lines, literally.
PRONOUNCIATIONS
Léonardo Serres-Tasse - leh-oh-[nar]-do [sair]-eh [tah]-seh *Kinda French-like
Our illustrious, wondrous slave driver of a president...
Give it up for Léonardo Serres-Tasse!
MINOR ROLE.
This dude literally has like 2 lines.
PRONOUNCIATIONS
Léonardo Serres-Tasse - leh-oh-[nar]-do [sair]-eh [tah]-seh *Kinda French-like
And let's not forget the theater department's shining star...
Give it up for Léonardo Serres-Tasse!
MINOR ROLE.
As the name suggests, this guy is abrasive. Not exactly nice, but not a total asshole either.
Look, man. She's gone. She won't care. Besides, it's not like I insulted her or anything.
I don't think it's rude to talk about an active murder investigation.
I bet with all the people there it would've been easy for the killer to blend into the crowd!
MINOR ROLE.
Just some guy manning a booth. He's cool.
Great work you two, it looks like you got one out of two hits, meaning you can choose any prize from the bottom two rows.
Full points! The lovely couple has earned yourselves a prize! Anything from the four rows.
A fine choice!
MINOR ROLE.
A festival artist. Pretty open-ended with this one, we're not picky!
Hello, hello! Fancy some face paint?
I can do some tiny accents, or I could paint your entire face pretty!
Haha! That’s your final answer, then? How cute!
MINOR ROLE.
A student at the university that player and Miwuda interrogate.
PRONOUNCIATIONS
Seomi Daegwa - [seh-oh]-mee [day]-gwah
It's rude to talk about the dead like that.
I don't know, it seems like it couldn't be a coincidence that she died on the day of Seomi Daegwa.
I really can't imagine that happening... who wouldn't notice someone carrying a dead body?
MINOR ROLE.
A girl the player and Miwuda interrogate.
PRONOUNCIATION
Meeti - [mee]-tee
Meeti does — Er... did, I guess. I’ve only seen the professor a couple times after walking with her to class.
They’ll probably just get a substitute until they can hire someone else to take over her class load. I doubt you’ll have to drop it.
I bet you’d be more likely to die than me, ha!
MINOR ROLE.
The other girl the player and Miwuda interrogate with Girl 1. She has a name, but the other doesn't? Hm.
PRONOUNCIATIONS
Tamegga - [tah]-meh-gah, emphasis on "tah"
Yeah... I can’t believe that happened to her. I don’t even understand it, like, at all.
I had Tamegga 321 with her... but that’s it. I think she transferred here from another college, or something.
Uh yeah, I’m scared one of us might get killed! Serial killers are a huge problem in big cities like this!
MINOR ROLE.
Another student interrogated by the player and Miwuda. Pretty open with this one!
Always was patient with me. Really horrible shame that she was murdered by some sicko.
I was planning on stopping by to catch up with her sometime between classes but then...
If you're looking into this, then make sure that person pays for what they did, yeah?
MINOR ROLE.
A professor that the player and Miwuda interrogate.
Mmm, I'm acquainted with professor Kirk... but I couldn't say we were close.
Oh, that makes sense... Wow, I can't believe they have students doing this!
We were friendly, of course. Well... cordial, at the very least.
MINOR ROLE.
The RA for the player's floor.
The RA is this universe's equivalent of Black, so we would prefer a Black VA. This doesn't mean we won't consider VAs that don't fit these requirements, but we will prioritize choosing one that fits. Since this is an unpaid role, we have to work with what we get.
I saw that you just moved into your new room; did everything seem in order, or was anything out of place?
That being said, I’m assuming you haven’t gotten the chance to tour the campus yet, right?
I do happen to be pretty busy today, but Emil is a great resource, so don’t hesitate to ask him any other questions!
MINOR ROLE.
Seong Da-Eun, the caretaker of Miyomizu Shrine. She's gentle and a bit stuffy in terms of her speech.
Da-Eun is this universe's equivalent of Asian (specifically Korean), so we would prefer an Asian/Korean VA. This doesn't mean we won't consider VAs that don't fit these requirements, but we will prioritize choosing one that fits. Since this is an unpaid role, we have to work with what we get.
PRONOUNCIATIONS
Kuppin - [koo]-peen
We see so many people that I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to remember if we saw a specific person, unless they really stood out.
We did get a lot of kuppin this year, possibly from more people coming from afar to enjoy the festival.
Keep any information you find to yourself, unless it is pertinent to the investigation, alright?
MINOR ROLE.
A stern professor that the player and Miwuda interrogate.
I don't recognize you. You aren't one of my students, are you?
Well, I'd love to know what happened to her... so I'll help, if I can.
Occasionally we'd meet for drinks, or have dinner parties with each others' families.
MINOR ROLE.
A teaching assistant that the player and Miwuda interrogate.
I was working as the teaching assistant for her class, and now she's dead.
Sometimes you just aren't that friendly with your professors.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't dislike her. We just didn't... vibe, I suppose.
MINOR ROLE.
One of the few cops that appear through the main story. This is the chill one :-) Still, ACAB
Excellent. We have a few questions to ask you; I'm sure you understand, as one of the first witnesses to the murder scene.
Are you Park Haewon?
Are you Park Sae-il?
MINOR ROLE.
One of the reoccuring cops. This is the stern one.
First, what is your relationship to the professor?
Okay. What were you doing upon discovery of the crime scene?
Thank you for your cooperation. We'll let you know if there's anything else we need.
MINOR ROLE.
The music professor. He's understanding and a great teacher. He's based off one my own teachers! -oatnoodles
A bit older, around middle-aged. Preferably somewhere around mid-range, rather than super high or low-pitched.
EDIT: Accidentally put "Male Young Adult" but that was an error!
Hey everyone, please make sure to check your name on the sign in sheet!
Not everyone is going to be perfect right away, and that's okay. Just be ready to practice and do your best.
Alright guys, the first thing we'll do is learn how to tune your guitars.
MINOR ROLE.
A math professor. Super smart, generally pretty nice. Really cares about math.
Professor Lyons is this universe's equivalent of Black, so we would prefer a Black VA. This doesn't mean we won't consider VAs that don't fit these requirements, but we will prioritize choosing one that fits. Since this is an unpaid role, we have to work with what we get.
We'll be going over a few housekeeping rules and the syllabus since this is our first class, but before that, I would like to see where you all stand with a quick pop quiz!
I said that the probability of the event occurring is greater than zero and less than one.
I can't tell you how many students I've had to deduct points from in their exams simply because they didn't exercise enough caution.
Yeah, that's the new student who discovered the body, right?
I heard it was a gross sight to see. Real gnarly.
I know, right? Usually the person who discovers the crime scene ends up bein' the murderer.
I'm surprised that the cops let them go that easily.
Do you think they did it then?
MINOR ROLE.
They're a rat person, so do with that what you will.
W-welcome, welcome!! Fancy a try? If you roll the rainbow ball, you’ll win yourself the grand prize!
Three plays? Okay, okay! Go ahead and spin, spin, spin the wheel!~!!
Oooh, so sorry! You win three sets of tissue! Better luck next time.
Step right up! Come on down and try a round of Whack-a-Mole!
First-prize winners will go home with two free, redeemable vouchers for Sojin Snacking's infamous nibbamassan!
Ah, you there, sir! Would you be interested in winning a treat for you and your friend?
My mom... m-my mom said she’d be right back, but I think she got lost. She always gets lost.
I went looking for her, but then the music started playing. I couldn’t get out.
I think... I think she went to go get food. I know she said she was hungry.
MINOR ROLE.
They find the player after they've discovered a body.
Hello!? I heard screaming, is everything okay!?
HELP! SOMEONE! HELP! PLEASE CALL THE COPS!
MINOR ROLE.
The dean/president/etc of the university.
I am sure you all understand why you were relocated here for the time being.
Although what has happened is quite a tragedy, we must continue on for the sake of education.
As a result, classes will resume this afternoon—
