Do you have a wish you'd be willing to kill for?
Taken from the Witch's Heart Game Site:
Witch's Heart is an adventure game by IZ (BLUE STAR Entertainment) made in RPG Maker 2000.
While playing up in the mountains, Claire Elford finds herself taking shelter from the rain in a mansion.
Soon, she finds four other people, some bizarre monsters - and no way back out.
In the company of demons, the five must figure out how to escape...
and solve the mystery of the legendary wish-granting treasure, the Witch's Heart.

Witch's Heart is an extremely obscure game, but one of which I believe deserves a fandub!
Last year, I began a Phoenix Wright fandub, which ended up going on permanent hiatus. Now I'm back and extremely motivated to do this!
I'm very excited to work on this fandub, and hope that everyone else is excited too! I highly recommend you check out the game beforehand,
but if you don't mind being spoiled, there's no need to!
However, please be aware that this game has many trigger warnings. Please keep in mind that this game includes:
Please refrain from auditioning if any of these themes make you uncomfortable!
Please have a decent mic quality; I'm looking for clear sound with no peaks or background noise!
Also, have a discord! This is where you'll receive the scripts and send me your lines!
This game is very dialogue-focused, meaning each character has lots of lines, even those with supporting roles. If you audition, make sure to be comfortable with recording many lines and staying dedicated! This casting call can also be found over on BTVA!
Thank you for checking out the Witch's Heart Fandub project! Good luck and I wish you all the best in your endeavors!
Claire is very cheery and can sometimes be considered an airhead. She loves cute and girly things. Often, she worries about other characters' well-being and puts her trust in others very easily.
Recommended voice: Medium-high pitched, possibly a typical female MC voice!
"Witch's Heart." That's the name of the storybook I've always loved since I was little. This storybook... it's a little unusual, actually.
If somebody told you they'd grant any wish, what would you do? Me... first of all, I'd wanna live in a house made of sweets! And I'd snarf down entire cakes.
I mean, you can't just ask me to.. What exactly should I be doing..? ...Eeek! Um, I'm sorry!
The person who took me in... left this world four years ago. They said I could keep the house but it felt lonely staying there by myself.
Wh-Whaaaat?! Aaaaah! I'm getting sucked in!!
It hurts a lot, but I've always been sturdy!
Noel Levine is gentle and respectful, showing kindness to everyone. However, he has a very mysterious aura about him.
Um, so hey, look, look! The stars are so pretty tonight!
...You see, I'm actually a magician who knows everything about you, Claire. ...Just kidding.
...Nothing like that! I just want to get her safely out of this mansion as soon as possible...
...Ah, err, sorry! I'm prattling on to myself... You probably have no clue what I'm saying.
...Yes, I know. I can tell the situation is only getting worse. But is there no way for anything to go right? Is there no way of making anyone happy? ...Is that just a fantasy?
C-Can you stop calling Claire ugly, please?
Ashe is very upbeat and charismatic but can also be extremely cunning and ruthless, depending on the situation. Some of his actions in the game are quite cruel, and he can come off as merciless or indifferent during these scenes.
Preferred Voice: Medium-high, can sound very friendly or murderous/desperate depending on the line.
Good morning! I'm Ashe Bradley! Though I present myself as a humble traveler, the truth of the matter is... da-da-da-dunnn! I'm a researcher of witches! Aren't you surprised?
...Ahah. I figured you'd open the door no problem with only a little screaming... You're just that kind. Ah, but what a nice thing Wilardo had on him, hm? Even a fighter like you, Claire, goes down quickly with one of these.
The more strongly you feel about your wish... The more you'll want to kill for it, I suppose. Heheh... Heheheheh... Ahahahahahaha!!!
Noel, um, I... I may have been cursed by the witch Dorothy. There's that portrait of the witch Dorothy in the entrance hall, yes? I touched it out of curiosity and accidentally scratched it...
Sirius is grumpy and irritable but does have a soft side. He is very serious and has a snobby attitude.
Preferred Voice: Medium-Low, speaks with a very posh/fancy tone. AN English accent is worth a try too!
Why is this nonsense happening?! And why are those monsters outside?! ...At any rate, I shall NOT let you lodge here.
I am Sirius Gibson. The lord of this mansion. During your stay at the mansion, I implore you not to cause me any bother.
Eh? Hold on, why did you start laughing? You're giving me the creeps...
Wilardo is quiet and very mysterious. He has a fearless nature, approaches most situations in a reserved manner, and keeps to himself. However, this doesn't mean he's devoid of emotion!
Preferred Voice: Medium-Low. I imagine him with a deeper, intimidating voice, but still can show emotion, especially sarcasm.
Bah, why won't it open? Should I kick the damn thing down? ...What do you want? Get lost.
Why'd you go up in front of that monster? Count youself lucky it didn't attack...
Hey now, stop crying... First off, let's bandage up. We've both got some bad wounds.
Zizel is one of the more friendlier demons, aiding Claire during her stay at the mansion. She teases Claire often and is said to have bad tastes. But she is still a demon and can be very condescending at times.
Preferred Voice: Medium-high.
You're late. I nearly withered from waiting. I'm on my third cup of tea already. Take a seat there. We need to talk.
Ashe is saying Noel's suspicious... Wilardo is keeping guard... Noel's shut up in his room. Claire, tell me... Who do you think is most suspicious?
You're so stupid, I can't help but laugh! Bring him back to life...? You think a demon would do that for you? Never, never! Granting a positive wish? Not in a billion years!
Charlotte is a demon who acts very childish but can also be somewhat curt and morbid.
Recommended Voice: High and playful.
Alright! I got to meet you before her! You're just sooo curious, Claire, I knew you'd come here. My name's Charlotte. So, hey, welcome to the monster mansion!
What is this... My body... *pant* *pant* Help me, papa...
I'll be taking the victory this time, Zizel... Kyahahahahahahaha!!!
Lime is a demon who enjoys messing with Claire and the other demons. While she is cheerful and cutesy as a demon, she was quite the opposite before she became one.
Preferred Voice: High as a demon (first and second lines), medium-low in her previous life (last line). Just be able to have the duality of being cute, but also intimidating!
Oh, Charlie! Wanna have tea together? Cause I sent for some tasty-looking treats while I was at it! Caterpillar ice creaaaam!~
Let him see more of your pitiful suffering... for my sake~!
[Context for this line: She is basically being burned to death.]
I won't let this stand, you hear me?! You're all gonna die! You'll suffer! AHHHH! A curse upon you!! All of you!
Rouge, another demon, is extremely harsh and blunt. She's quite narcissistic and is somewhat of a leader among the demons. However, she still can show compassion. Her name is pronounced like "rooj".. think the color red in French.
Preferred Voice: Medium range
You're truly stubborn, aren't you. How many times is this now? ...Well, on with the formalities.
Hey, missy Claire. Probably about time for introductions. I'm Rouge. I only plan on giving my name once, so you'd better remember it.
Maybe looking for the contract, dammit! You useless pigface! Now stop loitering around here and get moving, dumbass!
See Claire Elford. In flashbacks, she is a child. She loves to play and is very cheerful. She is probably around 10 years old.
Preferred voice: High, child-like voice!
Siriuuus! Let's play tag!
Your treasure... No way! I can't take something that important!
See Sirius Gibson. In flashbacks, he is shown as a child, probably around 10 years old. He is a bit on the quiet side and a bit mature for his age.
Preferred voice: A younger boy's voice is fine.
Haha... I'll have you know I'm not going to lose today, alright?
As long as you're happy, Lady Dorothy, I'm fine with anything.
Patricia is Claire's childhood best friend. (Around 11 years old.)
Preferred voice: Ambiguous, not able to label girl/boy.
U-Um... If I'm a bother, I can leave...
Yeah, you're right! I want to stay with you, too, Claire!
Dorothy is a kind and gentle woman, opposite of what rumors say about her. She takes care of Claire and Sirius as children.
Preferred voice: Anything! As long as it sounds sweet and kind.
Oh, Sirius, you won't go play outside? You three are friends, aren't you? Don't worry about me.
Fiona is CLaire's mother. She is kind and caring, similarly to Claire.
Preferred voice: N/A
You're my daughter, so I know you'll be cute.
