That's Not My Boyfriend (Visual Novel)
Project Overview
This project isn't 18+, but it is barely safe for work.
Sex is implied (in dialogue but not actual scenes), not shown, no nudity, some blood. No heavy gore, but little gore-which might change to moderate gore, but it depends. Stalking, yandere behavior, murder, etc. The description will be updated as more content is made/solidified. No rape.
I am a minor as the main developer of this game, and will not be turning 18 this year.
Summary
TLDR: Your shitty boyfriend gets replaced by a doppelganger that appeases you. Do you mind?
You moved into town about one year ago to live with your boyfriend. At first, everything was fine--he put his all in the relationship, same as you. But over time, he started to care less... and with each confrontation, he gets more and more defensive, until he completely ignores you. But after work today, your boyfriend reaches out to you again to hug you from behind. You feel slightly uncomfortable, knowing what will follow next. As expected, his hand reaches lower and lower… you swat it away. You’re angry because he only reaches out to you for his own needs, and you’re tired of it. You argue with him, and he complains that you nag him too much like you’re his mother or something. It especially hurts because he vents about his mother all the time… so you storm out of the house, take your keys, and drive to another parking lot, beneath a streetlight.
During the drive is a PSA about doppelgangers being in your area. But you never met one before, so you ignore it and shut it off-driving in autopilot. You soon reach a parking lot. You smoke, contemplating your relationship. You thought you could manage to date him awhile longer, because at least he’s hot as hell and perfectly your physical type. You manage to smoke until you get a headache after recalling a few painful memories, and drive home.
And yet, once you get home, you're greeted by a foreign version of Kade. He's overly nice and apologetic, making your will to break up wane. And yet something is off about him. Not just his complete 180 and promise to be better, but he seems overly emotional and reactive now. After dinner, you have a chill as you remember the PSA from the radio. But even if this Kade was a doppelganger, would you really mind? If things just stayed like this forever...
But it's never that simple.
*project image is a WIP, this project is very early on in development.
Voice Actor
This is the male lead of this game. Before and after being replaced by a doppelganger, you will be voicing both versions. The original is a jackass and the doppelganger is a yandere that has a sweet, puppy-like side, but also a possessive and crazy one. He should have a soothing voice. Would sound like male Rover from Wuthering Waves.
Medium to deep voiced, soft, a bit raspy, but not too sultry. Be able to genuinely YELL the first line, please.

(Passive Aggressive but not obvious) "Don't worry, I already ate in the hours when you left me."

Musician
In charge of adding extra ambiance to the game by having looping music in the background. You should be able to make music that can sound lighthearted and tense or scary, while making sure all music can easily switch between each other seemlessly, having a clear theme

Voice Actor
He's the 2nd male lead/love interest of the game. He currently has no official voice lines, but first appears on day 2 (which I haven't coded yet). He's a black american, and is a rather chill, jaded guy. Deep voice, deeper than Kade's.

(Concerned) "What's wrong? You've been out of it lately."
(Sheepish) "Yeah... I actually wanted to be a musician."
(Caring) "You can always count on me."
Voice Actor
He's an old friend of MC. He's a generally friendly guy, safe to be around. Not a love interest, but appears in day 1 for a flashback. Only two lines, maybe more in the future. Any race.

(Amicable) "Oh hey, Kade! I was just wondering if [Victor/Victoria] was ready yet..."
(Confused, defensive) "H-huh? [He/she] planned to go ice skating. We aren't going alone, so it's not like that! I'm just going to give [him/her] a ride, and--"
Artist
Designing clothing, hairstyles, and even facial structures of characters. I don't want someone who has limited knowledge in various racial features/has same face syndrome.
If you take heavy inspiration from another artist, make sure to make it individual enough to not be plagiarism.

Voice Actor
The 3rd love interest, Manon, is a woman who works as a special forces soldier/investigator that deals with doppelgangers. She is extremely tall, as all of the members are--around 6"+. She's white with blonde hair and blueish green eyes. She has a tough personality. Would sound like femCourier from Fallout or femV from Cyberpunk 2077. She appears briefly in day 2 but is fully introduced in day 3.

(Mocking) "Hahah! What, scared of a little mud on your pretty slacks?"
(Stern) "Stay here--and don't move an inch."
