Solipsism Reigns (original visual novel)
Project Overview
Hey hey!
I'm searching for more people to voice the supporting characters in my original visual novel, Solipsism Reigns.
I'm not great at short explanations, but it's a dark fantasy love story where the player has to traverse different realities with their yandere companion, Kuro, in order to seek the truth about themselves and the world around them. For more info please feel free to check out my itch.io page (link at the bottom of this.)
I'm getting closer and closer to having the game fully functional. Writing is 100% complete and I only have the final endings to put into working format before I begin adding little things like SFX and begin testing.
The protagonist of the game will be left unvoiced to allow the player to self-insert if desired. The plan is for the reader to be able to choose the protagonist's gender and also the gender of Kuro, the main character of the game.
The game is going to be completely free to download when released. It's not funded and I don't have much money so I can't afford to pay everyone, unfortunately :( You will have my eternal gratitude though, of course! <3
I already have a few great people on board from the last time I put out a casting call and the main character roles are filled, but there are still some characters without voices.
Characters that state they have 2 versions have more lines than those who only have one version.
I'm also looking for both male and female vocalists to sing the lyrics to an original opening theme song.
If you have any questions then feel free to email me!

"It's because it's the scent of the dead! Maybe we should just turn back after all?"
"Are you insane?!"

"I know, they're nothing if not persistent. I suspect they thought we would crumble and submit when they murdered your father. It's a good job you were able to fend them off. I don't know how you manage to stay so strong."
"For what it's worth, I voted for exile... and I think you're a wonderful, caring leader."
"Oh, thank goodness you're back, it was terrible!"

(Image is not final art.)
“I would like nothing more than to aid you but I'm afraid I must ask, how exactly would my clan benefit from such an arrangement?”
“Our horses are the strongest in all the land, Princess. You won't be a burden to him at all! Besides, I couldn't possibly ask a lady to walk all the way to Kai'ruhn with me.”
“Please, try not to panic. You're restrained, but I assure you it's entirely for your own good.”

Sammy is one of the protagonist's friends in the Gamer route.

If the protagonist is female, Sammy first appears to her as an antagonistic and shady character within the game world. He plays a reaper class, acting very high and mighty. He's quite rude to the protagonist.

Version 2:
If the protagonist is male, Sammy is his best friend and they play the MMO together. He's quite easygoing, but also gets hyperactive when it comes to certain aspects of the game (he really doesn't want to get banned for cheating.) Overall, he is upbeat and kind.
(Image is not final art.)

"After everything that's happened, you're the only ones I can trust. I don't like relying on others, but I've run out of options... What I'm trying to say is, I need your help."Version 2:
"How is he doing that? Did you make more modifications last night? Because I already warned you, it's suspicious enough using him as a summon, now the guy has player rights too?! We're so gunna get banned for this!"
Kim is one of the protagonist's friends in the Gamer route.
There are 2 versions of Kim depending on which gender the protagonist is.
Version 1:

Nexus features in the Gamer route. When he first appears to the protagonist he seems like a rogue NPC in the MMO that the protagonist is playing. He's a little cold and suspicious, but ultimately comes across as someone who genuinely needs the protagonist's help, as he and his kind have been wronged. Nexus is quite righteous and although he looks like a child he acts like an adult.
I selected ageless because his age is never mentioned and as I said, he looks like a child but acts like an adult, Therefore, a voice of either a child or an adult would be appropriate.
(Image is not final art.)
“How does it feel to be trapped, confined to a room that you cannot escape?”
“You play with our lives as though we are soulless creatures, you are blind to the suffering you inflict with your ignorance...”
“Greetings once more, Armaita. We are pleased to see that you accepted our gift. The Nexus thanks you kindly for your assistance.”
This is a role that only has a couple of lines.
Miri is a spirit familiar of one of the characters in the Clan route. Miri doesn't have a set gender.
Miri is quite stuck up and irritating, taking the role of familiar pretty seriously. Miri likes to try and educate Kuro and isn't very fond of Kuro in general.
Despite being fairly old, Miri tends to act like a child when agitated, becoming stubborn and sulking.
(Image is not final art.)
"Your spirit guide is rebellious, I suggest replacing it with another who takes their duties more seriously!"
"Sorry... for nothing."
This is a role that only has a couple of lines.
Zen is an idol, he is very confident and enthusiastic.
(Image is not final art.)

Lannar is a pilot in an elite mech squad, she is the newest member of the unit and often thinks her skills are superior to those of the protagonist.
(Image is not final art.)
"Are you sure that's wise? It doesn't seem like the best course of action if you ask me..."
This character is a nameless creature with a deep and booming voice. My plan is to add effects so that it sounds somewhat similar to a Reaper from the Mass Effect series, however, in order to do that the original recorded voice needs to be quite deep in the first place.
This creature hates humans and believes that they are well beneath him.
There aren't that many lines for this character.
Feel free to audition with and without your own voice effects :3
“Such ignorance...”
“The time for caution has long passed. There's no turning back now.”
“Sleep now, pitiful children of sin.”
The visual novel has an original opening theme. The backing track is complete and so are the lyrics.
Unfortunately, I'm not blessed with a very good singing voice and so I can't sing the lyrics myself!
I'm looking for both male and female vocalists as the song is sort of a duet.
Please email me if you're interested! :3
Sing something so I can see if your voice is suitable :3
“Aww, what's the matter, were you two making up? Well, isn't that just too bad!”
