WARNING: WRITTEN NOTES DEALS WITH SENSITIVE TOPICS AND HAS SCENES THAT MAY TURN YOUR STOMACH. PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
Written Notes is a horror visual novel that follows the main character, Aura, and 11 others solving the mystery of Millie Town. You will be able to roam around, looking for clues (them being notes, scraps, etc.)
Each character is important to the story as it goes on. They all have a certain role/stereotype revolved around them, which might be real or fake.
This project was for school, but, we finished what we needed and now, Written Notes will now be a full game!
If you have any questions, please don't be afraid to ask me! I'll do my best to answer them!

I'm always open for talking and being asked questions!
The music for Written Notes is a mix of jazz, 8-bit, and classical.
For more details on what I expect, listen to the soundtracks of Danganronpa and 1BitHeart.
Music needed for the game-
Opening theme: Music is 8-bit. Should sound cheerful, happy, catchy, and a bit creepy.

Whisp's theme: Music is classical. Should sound calming, rich in tone, yet it puts you at edge.

Note: Please be able to say some uncomfortable/unsettling lines.
Aura is a calm, collective person. He tends not to say too much about himself but he does say a lot more about others. He can be a bit aggressive but only when he needs to in his opinion.
In my mind, his voice should sound something like Lollia (https://youtu.be/DsdFhsLgy_Q) <-- an example.
(Happy) I'm Aura. Aura Faye. I just moved here to Millie Town, hoping to start a new life. I know for sure that I'll be able to make wonderful friends! |
(Angry + shocked) W-what the hell!? You can't just say something like that! It's completely messed up! |
(Sad) I didn't mean for this to happen... I'm so sorry, everyone. I couldn't help at all. |
Whisp is a mysterious person who rarely knows where she came from or who she is. She can recall certain aspects, her name, some personality traits, and a younger sibling she had.
For her, her voice is similar to Akechi Goro from Persona 5 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehMX8YJrj8k) <- An example
(Uninterested) They call me, Whisp. Not too much is known about me, but, it will do for now. |
(Empty) I mainly feel like I'm floating in the clouds, like I'm never on Earth, never being able to belong there. Is that normal? I doubt it is. Heh. |
(Happy) Ah. It feels nice to stand in the rain without having to deal with others. It's like a metaphor for me, huh? I like it. Ahaha. |
Clyde is an introverted, quiet person and he does his best to only talk when it's necessary.
For him, his voice sounds similar to Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia/Boku no Hero Academia.
(Quiet/anxious) Ah. My name's, Clyde. I don't really like to talk but it's fine. We'll become friends, right? |
(Scared) Oh dear... I'm worried a-about this whole thing! I d-don't like this anymore! |
(Disappointed) It seems like you don't need me anymore in this case, huh? Oh well. I wasn't interested anyways. |
Jay is an easily agitated person who tends to start arguments, which she doesn't mean to.
For her, she has a voice similar to Miu Iruma from Danganronpa V3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImOCymgLyB0) <- An example.
(Angry/annoyed) The name's, Jay. Don't expect me to actually talk to you, loser. |
(Agitated) Gosh! Your argument is so pointless! You aren't being that helpful, dude. Actually give some good evidence before I do! |
(Sad) *Sighs* I'm sorry for how I've acted. Please just forget everything bad I said and become my friend. I can try again, but better this time! |
Kat is known to be like a mother to his friends. He's always looking out for them and making sure they do nothing bad.
For him, his voice is similar to Azura from Fire Emblem (https://youtu.be/ksrWiF0Xvoo) <- An example
*Note: The video plays both Azura's English and Japanese voice. You can choose to follow either voice*
(Happy/surprised) Aura? It's so nice to meet you again! I'm Kat, your childhood friend. Aha |
(Confused) What? A murder? That doesn't make any sense at all. Are you sure that there was a murder? |
(Empty/no feeling) I've lost, again. Everything I did only came back to haunt me. I wasn't good enough. |
Dove is a reserved, caring person. She takes her time to open up to people but once she fully opens up to them, she'll be shown more as energetic and carefree.
For her voice, it should be similar to Lizz (https://youtu.be/Bx3Y_HZkAfs) <-- an example
(Calm) Oh, hi. I didn't see you there, sorry. My name isn't that important, but, it's Dove. I hope you understand that you will not know my last name due to suspicion. |
(Angry) Geez! At least try to treat them with respect. They were just wanting help, Aura |
(Fascinated) Woah. It's such a lovely night tonight. I wish the stars showed more though. |
Michael is a quiet and soft person. He doesn't like to talk that much, usually going unnoticed by lots of people. Though, when he talks about the ocean, he speaks much louder, being excited.
For him, his voice is similar to Yoshi Nanase from 1BitHeart (https://youtu.be/K7iF9kQZd2o) <- An example
(Quiet) Hey, new kid. 'm Michael, but you can just call me, Mike. |
(Happy/relaxed) Ah. I mean, it's not unusual to eat sweets. I have a big sweet tooth too, so you're not alone. |
(Annoyed) You sicken me. I seriously trusted you but of course, you broke that trust. |
Zumi, at first, is shown to be a serious person, not showing too much of her emotions. Once she opens up, she's shown to be an excited, energetic person, striving for happiness.
For her, her voice sounds a bit like Ann Takamaki (https://youtu.be/luv01tK_dz0) <- An example
(Monotone) Hello there. I am, Zumi, your roommate. I can tell that we'll get along. |
(Anxious/scared) Ack! T-this doesn't seem like a safe area to be at right now. It s-seems dangerous. |
(Cheerful/excited) Wow! I can't believe we get to see this as a whole group. It feels like I'm at home. Hehe |
Lucas is a lazy, carefree, and cryptic kind of person. He mainly spends time playing games with friends, not really doing anything else, being closeted from the world.
For him, his voice is similar to Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe (https://youtu.be/vYG_xlWQIF4) <- An example
(Relaxed/calm) Heya. I'm Lucas, the gamemaster here. I hope to see you here more often so we can play some games together! Call me anytime when you want to play. |
(Calm) You know, I've wondered what it's like to be in someone elses body. It must be a whole new experience, just having to see what someone else goes through. Ah. Sorry. That might have been really weird, huh? |
(Panicked) Oh geez. Um. I don't know what to do! What should I do!? I've never been through this kind of thing! |
Veronica is a sophisicated lady and uses manners more than she should. She tends to break that persona and become a whole different person.
For her, she has a voice similar to Sonia Nevermind from Danganronpa 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h03gOWGcgQs) <- An example
(Happy/calm) Good evening, kind sir. I am the humble actress known as, Veronica Smith. I'm hoping I will be able to help you around Millie Town. |
(Angry) Ew! Why the hell would a lady do something like that!? It's not very ladylike at all! |
(Calm/collected) Hm. We should all work together to solve this. If we do, we'll be able to cover more and solve it quickly. |
Calvin is a bubbly, carefree person, always trying to show off his talents. He does tend to get agitated easily but that doesn't stop him from trying to be a kind person.
For him, his voice is similar to K1-b0 from Danganronpa V3 (https://youtu.be/C4HnzRSEB2M) <- An example
(Energetic) Oh yeah! I'm Calvin. I'll be your guide until you know every place by heart! Just ask me any question, I got the answer for ya! |
(Sad) Oh? I guess that's okay... I hope you have fun hanging out with her. You both seem to have fun anyways. |
(Angry/agitated) Dammit! You weren't supposed to be here! I told you many times to stay away and be with Veronica! |
Lily is a calm, reserved, and observant person. She can be a bit aloof but isn't always like that.
For her, she has a similar voice to Kyoko Kirigiri (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5AXgve1qUk) <- An example
(Monotone) I'm Lily Grace Hendrick and I work here at the flower shop. May I be able to assist you in anyway, sir? |
(Slight happiness) Hm. That's lovely to hear. I'm glad to know somone enjoys flowers just like me. |
Not that it matters, but, what exactly does "that's the tea, sis" mean? I heard a lot of kids saying that near the alleyway near the flower shop. |
The background vocalist will be the person who sings in the back of themes or main songs.
You may sing any song that is pop, rock, and/or just vocalize, not having to use words. |
