Project Overview
SYNOPSIS
There is a man who follows you. You call him Geist. He has followed you for years, but no one else can see him. He follows, and he whispers. He wants to keep you to himself, and when you meet a new boy at college, he’ll do anything to make sure you stay in his grasp.
(For those in the know, MINDMINDMIND is meant to draw on the “yandere” trope: a person who is “dangerously” obsessed with their love interest, oftentimes to the point of violence.)
THE GAMEMINDMINDMIND is a psychological/supernatural/romance visual novel. It will be a ~20k word game with 2 endings. It will be released on itch (and probably later on Steam). It is a standalone game being released for the NanoRenO 2024 game jam taking place during March (a jam where you are challenged to make a visual novel in one month).
THE TEAMI am a solo developer, so I do just about everything for my projects (character/background art, animation, programming, and writing) except for music/SFX. MINDMINDMIND will be my fifth publicly released project, and my third project working with VAs. You can check out my other work here.
CONTENT WARNINGSThis game revolves around mental health and anxiety (specifically social anxiety). Geist often acts in ways that are emotionally abusive and manipulative towards the player. Other than that there will be no questionable content.
COMPENSATIONPayment will be handled via Paypal in US Dollars. Transaction fees will be covered on top of the rates listed below. Payment will occur upon delivery and approval of audio files.
All VAs will be paid $1.50 per line, with at least 75 lines per role ($113). As this project is noncommercial, this rate is not negotiable.
