The Rope Still Hangs - Visual Novel [Anime]

The Rope Still Hangs - Visual Novel [Anime]

Project Overview

The Rope Still Hangs will be an original horror/psychological thriller Visual Novel with an anime art style. The gist of it is an obsessive one-sided adolescent relationship going wrong. It is set in Camellia Academy for Special Students, a school that specialises in education for students with learning disabilities and mental illnesses. The main character, Akihiko Fukuda, tries to figure out herself and the mystery of the murders and suicides throughout the game. 

The intended final product will range from 5-9 hours of gameplay, and the novel will be seperated into two acts. There are themes of murder and suicide, so be warned. 
I do not have an exact time frame for the completion of the project but I am aiming to have it finished by September 2017. This will be a completely free project, but you will be credited and I will link any of your social media to help you get recognition for your hard work!
Thank you!

Latest Updates

  • My apologies

    Hi guys I'd just like to excuse myself for not being very present for such a long time on this project. There are a couple things I would like to say. I am still keen on finishing TRSH, but I have a fear that I will not have enough time due to my last year of school and my preparations to go into college taking up the majority of my time. I have been working on the game little by little, but it hasn't gotten very much attention for a long time. I understand if you have made the decision to continue on looking for other projects to work for; but I hope you guys will still think about participating in my project. Now I do not have a set due date for this game .. which sucks but I can't really do anything about it since school is much more important to me. TLDR; for now this project is on hiatus until further notice. The times that I will definitely be able to work on this project is during my winter, spring and summer breaks. I didn't really foresee this project being this long but that's what happens. Again, I am really very sorry for wasting your time. - Mizu

  • VA's Chosen! + Update on other possible roles

    Hey everyone! I'm so sorry that I haven't been very active and posting updates often. School has been hogging all of my attention.

I feel like there wasn't enough auditions Principal Hana - ZaBanpaiaNeko Azami - beria Just to let you all know, The Rope Still Hangs' production is being backed up - meaning some of you will be getting your roles/lines a bit late. My hope is to at least release this game in early 2018. More updates will be posted in the future.

Role assigned to: beetlebottle

Akihiko Fukuda is the main character in this visual novel and is also the narrator at some points in the story. Please be prepared to have a LOT of lines!

Akihiko Fukuda is a MtF transgender student who is 16 years old. Either high-pitched male voice or slightly lower-pitched female voice will work! You do not need to use any accent, but if you feel like adding one you can use a Japanese accent.

  • Dear Journal. It’s
    not every day you feel déjà vu from your dreams. When you realize it, the
    surprise tugs a string in the back of your neck, forcing you to pay attention
    to it and makes you wonder how the hell your dreams could predict something.

  • (shy and stuttering, with slight excitement) Yes,
    of course! I’ve been preparing for this since my first year. I’m definitely
    participating!

  • (horrified, with variations of volume) Why would you do this, Jirou? How many people did you hurt? You are a MONSTER!

Role assigned to: deleted42715

Chunhua is Akihiko's closest friend. Feminine, slightly lower-pitched voice. Her voice sounds very blunt and sarcastic most of the time (if that makes any sense .. haha). She is also very comedic and loves to make people laugh!

  • (laughs) That's so silly! Of course I finished the flower arrangements. I always arrange in my spare time~!

  • (groaning in pain) Uurgh .. H-Hiko .. help me ...

  • (loud scream, then yelling) THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU!!

Role assigned to: kikanator96

Jirou Nimaijita is the antagonist in the visual novel. He is kind of a psycho, and will be laughing evilly a lot. Any range of male voice will work for this character. 

  • (monotone) On page 19, it states that the yellow camellia signifies longing, and the white camellia symbolises waiting. So, to put it plainly, the arranger must have been yearning for something.

  • (evil laugh) You will PAY for your negligence!!

  • (psychotically) Oh, it's MY fault?? No one ever LOOKED at me, let alone spoke to me! Do you think I could feel any REMORSE for you??

Role assigned to: ZaBanpaiaNeko

Principal Hana is a usually very cheerful character. I'm looking for a mature voice for this one.

  • (bubbly) Good
    morning, my precious flowering students! You know what day it is today~! Why
    yes! It’s the first day of our second semester here at Camellia Academy! 

  • (sarcastically) It seems you only enjoyed the first part of our meeting.

  • (horrified) J-Jirou .. put that knife down this INSTANT!!

Shun is the dreamboat romantic interest in this game. Akihiko has a big crush on him and Shun seems to notice, and constantly tease her about it. Shun can sometimes be a bully towards some of the other students like Jirou. I'm looking for a slightly bubbly medium-pitched male voice for him.

  • (laughs) Haha, watch out! I don't think you'd want to fall flat on that pretty face.

  • (scoffs) It's obvious Jirou is trying to tell us something!

  • (screaming in pain .. yeah, just screaming)

Role assigned to: beria

Azami is a yandere character in a way .. she has brief psychotic disorder which makes her delusional for a short period of time before she goes back to her usual normal bubbly state. I need someone who can go from a low gruff yandere to super cute, bubbly and feminine real quick!

  • (excited) Oh, I'd totally help you with the costume designing, Chunhua! When will we start?

  • (yandere laughing) You're dead to m- ... (sudden return back to normal bubbly voice) Ahh, did I miss something? Is everything alright?

  • (low and gruff) You touch me and you're MINCED MEAT!!
