Megalobyrinth - A puzzle game with humor and horror
Project Overview
The game, as well as the script, are still very early in development.
This is going to be a non-commercial project.
More voice acting roles will be added along with the progress.
"Megalobyrinth" is a 3D, third-person puzzle game with a cartoony low-poly art style. The main goal of each puzzle is to unlock the path to the exit door and to do this you need to utilize your magical torch and gather helpful wisps to help you remove obstacles. The game will offer a story mode and a built-in level editor.
You play as Alisa Sokolova, a young archeologist and adventurer from Russia, who decided to descend into a mysterious, monumental maze. On her way she'll encounter friendly wisps and polite denizens, but also horrifying monsters and malevolent deities.
Megalobyrinth used to be hidden from the mortal world. Everything changed recently, when a passage to another dimension appeared somewhere among the forests of Estonia. What mysteries does this place hold? What awaits at its darkest depths? Will Alisa be able to find out and make it out alive?
Well, someone's gotta do it. Might as well be her!

Introduction
Alisa Sokolova is a russian archeologist and adventurer who decided to face the challenges awaiting inside Megalobyrinth. She was given the nicknames "firespark" and "that crazy redhead girl" by her colleagues, due to her fiery attitude and incredibly vibrant red hair (who would've guessed).
Personality
Alisa's personality can be compared to Samira from League of Legends. She is brave, confident and slightly smug. She tends to jest around and not treat things too seriously, which leads her to sometimes act in a reckless manner. To her, archeology is all about the thrill, the risk and the unknown. What's the point of being an archeologist if there's no real adventure?
She rarely gets scared of anything but when she does, she struggles to keep it together as she's not really used to it... or perhaps she doesn't want to seem afraid? Is her dedication to her goal just determination or is there something more to it? Is she really as invulnerable as she claims to be?
Voice direction
While slavic accent is preferable, it's not mandatory. If you'd like to audition for Alisa but don't feel confident in speaking russian and/or with an accent, don't be discouraged! I will still listen to your submission and take it into consideration. And, if you so prefer, all lines spoken by her can be performed in english.
Also, something important to note, Alisa will occasionally swear. Any serious swear words will be censored in game, though. Just something to keep in mind.

My name is Alisa Sokolova, though I’m also known as “firespark” or “that crazy redhead girl”. Pick whichever you prefer.
People say I'm unprofessional and unserious and blah, blah, blah. In reality, I get the job done AND look good while doing it.
You know, I expected interdimensional creatures to be less cliche, but... you do you, whoever made this place.
Motem is the main antagonist of the game and the ruler of Megalobyrinth. He created the wisps and the vast halls they live in. His servants, the creators, are assisting him in designing and managing the trial rooms.
Motem is a prideful and despotic individual. He believes himself superior to everyone around him. That being said, he is capable of giving credit where it’s due and when the player overcomes Motem’s challenges, he will congratulate them. Nonetheless, he’s not fond of humans in general.
Motem will speak in english only. Any accent is welcome, but received pronunciation/aristocratic british is the preferred one. You do not need to add any filters as I'll handle them myself.

Another one wishes to participate in the trials? Well... be my guest.
*laughs* What's the matter? Was it all too scary for you?
I must congratulate you. You are the first one to ever reach this far. I almost want to make it easier for you...
Wisps are a major part of the gameplay. Alisa can have up to 3 of them follow her around, which allows her to interact with specific props. They're those floating, spherical entities with an orange flame and a square "visor" that bends depending on their mood. Each wisp has their own personality and reacts to various events in the game, like Alisa solving a puzzle or taking damage. They may also initiate fun, random conversations.
Personality types are as follows:
Jovial
Sensitive
Pessimistic
Rude
Dramatic
Clueless

- Let’s do this!

Sensitive:
- Oh… hello.
- N-nice to meet you?
- W-w-wait for me!
- I… I know what to do!
- Can we please not do that again?
- I thought you forgot about me.
- I’m so sorry!
- Are you ok?
Pessimistic:
- Let’s get this over with.
- *sigh*
- Please tell me you know what you’re doing?
- Yeah. Whoohoo. Let’s do this.
- I don’t get paid enough for this.
- This is gonna go great.
- Sure, let’s try that again.
- We’re gonna be here for a while, don’t we?
Rude:
- Great.
- Ugh, here we go…
- Can you please get this done fast?
- Let’s see if it’s an amateur again.
- You people ALWAYS make that specific mistake!
- Are you even trying?
- Learned anything from that?
- Can you please not hold us hostage here?
Dramatic:
- Huzzah! An adventurer!
- I shall be your loyal companion!
- You seem trustworthy. I shall join you!
- Greetings!
- Fall seven times, rise up eight!
- Never accept defeat!

- Ok so I’m number… one, two… uh… wait I lost count…
- Oh the trial started already?
- Wait, it’s a trial room? Why didn’t anyone tell me?
- Strange… it almost feels like I’ve been here before.
- Hold on, who are you again?
- Was that a part of the trial?
- Oh I thought we’re done here?

Yask is a mysterious, yet benevolent fellow, who's here to be the player’s guide in the tutorial. Additionally, he will sometimes reappear to give Alisa a new tool for the upcoming trials (like a trowel or a sword).
Yask speaks with a kind tone and fancy vocabulary. If I were to describe his personality with one word, it'd be “gentleman”.
Any accent is welcome, though Scandinavian accents are more preferable.

You, ma’am, are about to go through a series of challenges, ranging from trivial to perilous to possibly lethal! And I am here to ensure that the lethality risk is as low as it can get.
Is there anything you’d like to say? Such as how do you feel when cooperating with wisps?
Well, “fight” might be a bit of an exaggeration. But yes! During your next trial I will personally hinder your progress.
“Wretched Angel” is one of the creators: wisps that were given full body and armor by Motem. They assist him with creating and managing puzzle rooms. This specific one is in charge of the Luminescent Grotto.
On surface level he seems much like an ordinary creator, but clearly there's something more to him. He goes out of his way to ensure that Alisa is safe and constantly reminds her to not trifle with Motem.
I would tell you more but I don't want to enter the spoiler territory.
I'd like WA’s voice to be on a slightly older, middle-aged side. Any accent is welcome but slavic is preferable. You don't need to add any filters as I'll handle them myself.
The image is an old Wretched Angel model that'll be used as a "benchmark" for the new one.

Tread carefully, Alisa. No one has ever reached the final trial of Motem. In fact, most of those who came before you never went past this very cavern.
I know. You’re not the only one frightened by it. And besides, many adventurers before you have met their end while facing the wraith.
We don’t have names, but we do use titles. Pseudonyms, if you will. Mine is... "Wretched Angel".
Luno is the rulemaker of Megalobyrinth and the one who judges Alisa's performance during the trials. She has the appearance of a tall woman wearing a dress, seemingly made of scrolls and papyri.
Her tone is cold, judgemental and commanding. She's harsh and honest in her criticisms and hates excuses. Luno's also quite impatient and while she never lets anger get to her, she has a hard time hiding it. In other words, Luno is a godly bureaucrat.
No specific requirements for accents so you can go with your own or experiment if you will.

Let’s see… based on this report, you’ve been spending more time conversing with wisps than actually solving puzzles.
You also have a tendency to forget about your torch before you go through the exit door.
And apparently you also thought about climbing maze walls to get to the other side, which is a blatant act of cheating.
