wilting : VISUAL NOVEL

wilting : VISUAL NOVEL

Project Overview

Wilting is an indie passion project that is planned to be made into a visual novel.


A 2D psychological story about grief, burnout, the lies we tell ourselves to cover hurtful truths or to survive and more. Our story follows a 23 year old mentally ill male called Darren Michel, spiralling after losing both his parents and the proclaimed love of his life. We venture into his struggles and who/what surrounds him during them. 


TONE/ INSPIRATION:

Omori, sally face, yandere simulator.(maybe more idk man)

  1. DARREN MICHEL - our protagonist

  • quiet, exhausted, sarcastic at times

  • mid range masculine voice, generally I am open to higher or lower voices. I don't have an exact vision.

  • Positive, outgoing, kind, breaking.

  • A voice alike to Ramona Flowers from scott pilgrim takes off

  1. ELI COOPER - Darren's best friend and co-worker.

    –  funny, sarcastic, sweet

  • Medium - low range.

  • Ranges -> patient - frustrated - soft - yelling


  1. DR CROW - Darren’s therapist.

  • Soft, tired, kind

  • Can be interrupted as male or female! I would like somewhat of a soft Irish accent to it though.

  • RANGES -> professional - gentle - firm.


  1. THE LANDLORD - literally just the landlord

                    - aggressive, funny

                    - literally soldier from tf2
