That's Not My Boyfriend (Visual Novel)

That's Not My Boyfriend (Visual Novel)

Project Overview

This project isn't 18+, but it is barely safe for work.

Sex is mentioned, 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. 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 because he wants to have sex, 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.

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. He could be either white or east asian, doesn't really matter.

Baritone, soft, a bit raspy, but not too sultry. Be able to genuinely YELL the first line, please.

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.
