Danganronpa, Zero Escape, and Among Us together in a single project! Not a fangame, but a combination of elements to bring an investigative Visual Novel to life!
First of all: this will be a project divided into two parts: the Demo (unpaid), then a later Crowdfunding (which will be anticipated by social media and a Discord Server open to the community, as well as the Dev Team of course) to fund the game, and from there the game will be funded, paying everyone. So, it will be a long-term project, since the idea is to divide the game into chapters (currently 4 are planned).
With that said, let's move to the actual game! What elements does this video game combine?
Zero Escape (escape rooms)
Danganronpa (murders, trial, even if the trial will be completely different, but the basic idea will be to vote for the person to throw out)
Among Us (before every murder, each character will be assigned a role, and they will have to stick to that role and act from before the murder until the voting)
These will also be the phases that will happen in every chapter: escape room (oh I forgot, you are not safe even here, someone could die... maybe!), assigned role, murder, investigation, trial, voting.
Roles? What does it mean?
Currently there are no confirmed roles, but imagine for example a saboteur, who will not be the culprit, but his role will be exactly to "make the accusations fall on him", at that point there are two people to vote for, not just one! Or the oracle, who has the power to discover someone else's role and use it in his own way. The mute, who will be forced to not be able to speak, and so will have to use other ways, but at the same time must be careful not to look like a suspicious person rather than a victim. And many others, there are a thousand ideas that could be used!
Synopsis:
Two characters, an ex-investigator and a clown, wake up in what looks like a laboratory, a room they have never seen before. They can figure it out: they have just been kidnapped. After the first moments of confusion and fear, a voice echoes from the room, the one who will turn out to be the Mastermind of all this! Only vague explanations, the two will have to escape from that room by beating some puzzles, otherwise they will stay trapped! Forced, they manage to solve the puzzles, but before leaving, the Mastermind warns them to check their watch: a role has been hidden from them, and it must stay hidden. The two characters move forward, until they meet 14 other people, all in pairs and forced to play this "game" and escape from a room. From here, the game begins: someone will have to die, and the culprit will have to be found. But the culprit is not necessarily the bad guy: his role could clear him, maybe the bad guy is someone else, someone who has a role that gives him an advantage if he is not voted out.
The team:
It's me, who takes care of the programming, the writing, and everything behind it, and later also the social part! (I don't exclude finding someone to help me, but until now, there are no problems!), a character artist, an environment artist, and a music composer. We have our Discord server to communicate!
Who are we looking for?
3 Voice Actors, exactly the protagonist, a clown, the character he will wake up with, and the mastermind, who currently (or forever?) is just a voice! But the full game will have 16 characters + the Mastermind, so post Crowdfunding I will look for many other voices!
If you want, you can leave me your Discord contact in your audio, or I will contact you via DM here if I am interested!
