WDT - Darkest Dungeon: Voices in the Dark - Voice Mod

WDT - Darkest Dungeon: Voices in the Dark - Voice Mod

Project Overview

This is a mod for the video game Darkest Dungeon that will aim to add an additional element of immersive tension and danger to this brutal game through fully voiced dialogue for the hero characters. This mod will include the initial fifteen characters in the base game, and will expand to the remaining DLC heroes after this initial phase.

This mod, once completed, will include fully voiced dialogue for all of the hero characters, voiced journal entries and voice adjuster for the game.

This will be the first attempt by WDT to create a voice mod for a video game and as a result, the process for this project will be updated as the deadline approaches. This will also be the first voice mod to be created for Darkest Dungeon, and will serve as a stepping stone for the creation of further projects down the line.

We will be posting preview videos on our YouTube page (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvgSz7ZNUi0Q10iHUR4TBqQ?), for the individual character voices as we progress on the mod's creation. This will culminate on a game-play video with the mod installed to showcase your talent, along with a link to the mod for download for you and the Darkest Dungeon community's enjoyment. 

Rules & Expectations: 


  1. 1 - Your audition should be clear of audio issues, including pops, static, and be of good enough audio quality that we can understand your speech. 

  2. 2 - Follow the guidelines of the audition roles, but give us at least 2 differing takes on the lines.

  3. 3 - Casting for this project will be judged and finalized on the week of its deadline, starting on the deadline itself.

  4. 4 - You can request a retry for an audition, and only one retry as too many attempts will discredit your audition. 

  5. 5 - In line with the previous rule, put your best foot forward, and do your best.



DIALOGUE FOR THIS MOD IS CONSIDERED 14+ & WILL REQUIRE SCREAMING OR SHOUTING FOR SOME PARTS

About Darkest Dungeon:

Darkest Dungeon is a role-playing video game developed by Red Hook Studios in 2016. It is a dungeon crawler based RPG that's notable for its Gothic art-style, Lovecraftian psychological game mechanics and punishing difficulty.

In the game, the player is tasked with the near insurmountable task of recruiting adventurers, overcoming the massive dungeons of the Ancestor's Hamlet, and ultimately overcoming 'the Darkest Dungeon'.

Latest Updates

  • Casting Call - Finalized

    With the last casting selection, we close our casting call. Know that we'll post future updates on this page for the project itself once we start recordings and further work on the mod. Sorry that we could not get to reviewing and critiquing all of your auditions, but mark our shortlisting for your audition as a measure of your prowess in this casting call. As stated earlier, I will PM our full cast instructions on how to proceed going forward tonight. Thank you to everyone that auditioned, as your dedication was something that we loved to hear. Keep improving and keep auditioning.
  • Final Admissions

    We'll be start judging and choosing our choices for roles today at 7:00 PM EST. Please submit any last auditions before this time. I will PM further information to those chosen towards the end of the evening around 9 PM EST.
  • Deadline Has Been Pushed Back Until December the 8th.

    This was made to accommodate some final edits to the scripts.
  • Tone & Character Description

    Be aware that the underlined title of the lines serves as both a description of the action taking place as well as the tone one should take when delivering it. If it sounds like it contrasts with the character's aforementioned voice, it's usually because it's an altered state of mind from their normal tone. Don't be afraid to shout or be somewhat over the top for doing these lines, as Darkest Dungeon is a game of emotional peaks and these should be reflected in your line delivery. If you have further questions regarding this, please PM me and I can go more in depth with you regarding this.

The Abomination

Role assigned to: mindlessmatter_

"Tortured and reclusive... this man is more dangerous than he seems."

A man beaten, and scarred by the cruelty of scientific pursuit, the Abomination holds a gnawing secret within his body. Now, he carries that horrible burden to the hamlet, where he seeks to find sanctity for his mind and body.

Having been the subject of inhumane experiments and horrifying torture, the abomination carries himself in a melancholic, somber mood that evokes either pity or self-deprecation. That is, until the beast comes out.

The Antiquarian

Role assigned to: adoxographist

"She searches where others will not go... and sees what others will not see."

A scholar and archaeologist of ancient culture, the Antiquarian is more a researcher than her current companions. Though she is not apt warrior, she carries enough guile with a knife and cunning with her censer to make herself useful to the hamlet.

The Antiquarian is a woman of ideals that hopes to stem the flow of corruption in the hamlet, yet carrying  a hidden, greedy agenda. Having killed her former master in the pursuit of power, there is no telling what her end goals may transform into.

The Arbalest

Unpaid
Role assigned to: laucollis

"Shoot, bandage, and pillage: the dancing steps of war."

Runaway, soldier, and survivor are all marks that have come to define the Arbalest. Carrying and using her father's crossbow since the age of eight, she's refitted and honed her senses to even the most errant target and is trained in all types of ammunition from iron bolts to flares. 

The Arbalest is on a mission to prove herself a successor to her deceased father, to an almost faulting degree. This results in a serious attitude that may be masking her own fears of failing to live up to his memory.

Voice: Medium; Serious - Glory-Hound - Stressed

  • Landing a Critical Hit - Victorious Excitement

    Hell's fire I'm good!Bull's eye!

  • Becoming Fearful - Weeping Terror

The Bounty Hunter

Unpaid
Role assigned to: wild-aegis

"The thrill of the hunt... The promise of payment."

An executioner as much as a hunter, the Bounty Hunter is a man on the darkest part of justice and retribution. Only coin sways this man to aid the hamlet and brave the dungeons, as morality is as foreign to him as mercy. 

The Bounty Hunter is a man of few words and fewer scruples for his job and those that are marked as his targets.  He carries himself with a stoic, almost cold attitude; giving way to a pragmatic, distrustful individual. 

Voice: Medium Low - Low; Stoic - Near Emotionless - Ruthless

  • Landing a Critical Hit - Controlled Fury

    I know just where you are weakest!Called your bluff, friend.

  • Becoming Abusive - Venomous Spite

    You tenderfoot fools!Anger me and you roll the dice.

The Crusader

cast offsite

"A mighty sword arm anchored by holy purpose."

A fallen yet faithful warrior of light, the Crusader answers the call to the hamlet to do battle with, in his words, the 'One True Evil'. He is a master swordsman and a powerful bulwark of his god's vengeful retribution upon the dark.

The Crusader is zealous in his pursuit of what he believes is rightful justice against the darkness. For his, he holds himself as a beacon of hope for his group, holding both pride and passion; yet lives with the guilt over the atrocities he's committed under the name of god.

Voice: Medium Low - Low; Fervent - Prideful - Faithful

  • Landing a Critical Hit - Righteous Fervor

The Grave Robber

Role assigned to: platinumpussycat

"To those with keen eye... Gold gleams like a dagger's point."

A daredevil with dagger and pick,  the Grave robber leads a life of dangerous pursuit as a means of clawing her family's name out of the dirt. Once an affluent lady of the bourgeois, her family's ruined name and finances serve as a perfect catalyst for her unsavory practice. 

The Grave Robber is a lady of action and quick wits as her attitude suggest an almost sardonic appraisal of the world around her. Out of all of the heroes she's the youngest, and the most prone to act cocky and even flirt with the others from time to time.

Voice: Medium - Medium High; Witty - Sardonic - Peppy

  • Landing a Critical Hit - Dark Smugness

    Oh, did that sting?Think I'm done with you? HARDLY!

  • Becoming Irrational - Inane Lunacy

Role assigned to: millsy3

"Barbaric rage and unrelenting savagery make for a powerful ally."

A wild and brutal warrior outcast, the Hellion carries a storm of rage and steel with her in the form of her warglaive and unyielding voice. She's arrived to the hamlet to prove her now long lost honor as a warrior and to find kinship once again.

The Hellion is in rapture on the battlefield, showing a bloodthirsty desire to fight and kill for the sake of her honor. This is contrasting to her otherwise friendly and awkwardly social attempts to be civil with the other heroes; though she fears that she's in over her head.

Voice: Medium Low - Low; Barbarous - Uncivilized - Reveler   

  • Landing a Critical Hit - Barbarous Roar

    RrrrraaaaAAAAAA!I will FEAST on your HEART!

Role assigned to: SlashleyVO

"Elusive, evasive, persistent... Righteous traits for a rogue."

Thug, criminal, thief, all names the Highwayman knows well, names he's come to revile as much as himself.  He seeks redemption over his past life as a murderer and rogue, and has arrived to the hamlet to find it or find death.

The Highwayman carries himself with an aura of equal guilt and assertion throughout his travels. He's one of the more empathetic heroes in the hamlet, and is keen to at least attempt to form a degree of trust with his companions.

  • Landing a Critical Hit - Cruel Tongue

    You're outmatched.Damn -- I missed your eyes!

Role assigned to: PeeJ

"A lawman and his faithful beast, a bond forged by battle and bloodshed."

A former lawman and a his faithful companion, the Houndmaster is a versatile hero that aims to kill his enemies as much as aid his allies. After faith in law failing as a result of the corruption in the very law he saw to protect, he's come to the hamlet to try to find faith in justice once more. 

The Houndmaster loves his dog, but he also extends that familial bond to his companions as he is one of the most kindhearted of the heroes. Though, his fatherly demeanor gives way to a ruthless man that will kill to preserve what believes is just.

Voice: Medium Low - Low; Responsible - Kind - Uncompromising

Role assigned to: BetterOffDreadful

"He'll be laughing still... At the end."

Life and death are an eternal performance to the Jester, a man that's taken the mantle of reaper and bard upon his garb. Having been driven almost insane by a now dead tyrant, the Jester arrives to the hamlet as a means of finding solace for his wounded mind.

The Jester is as close to unhinged as they come, detailing every one of his actions through snide remarks and a joking demeanor. Even when suffering from delirium or at death's door, he won't drop his act, either out of manic habit or as a defense mechanism.

Voice: Medium - Medium High; Light Hearted - Grimly Humorous - Sarcastic

  • Landing a Critical Hit - Morbid Amusement

    AH-HA HA HAAAAA!Slice, slice, slice!

Role assigned to: BearingBobby

"This man understands that adversity and existence... are one and the same."

A man deprived of life and longing for absolution, the Leper is a man afflicted by disease yet retains his unwavering resolve. He was once the king of a far away land, and has come to the hamlet as a means of finding purpose in purging the darkness and inevitable death.

The Leper carries himself in a calm, mature demeanor as he has prepared his body and mind for the final stroke of death. As a result, he details his words with short poetic prose to both accent their purpose and to ease the burden on his diseased throat.

Voice: Low; Gravely - Poetic - Calm

  • Landing a Critical Hit - Poetic Growl

    Blood in the mud.Rain in the forest.

  • Becoming Masochistic - Willful Immolation

Role assigned to: JohnDoyle

""The raw strength of youth might be spent... but his eyes hold the secret of a hundred campaigns."

A veteran of many wars, the Man-at-Arms is a bastion of physical as well as emotional strength to the group. He's come to the hamlet as a means of finding purpose in protecting others again, as a failure of his previous command led to the many deaths of his allies.

The Man-at-Arms is a focused and expertly resolute man that weighs the consequences of his choices carefully. He's got a plan for nearly every occasion and wishes to do well by his new companions; yet fears that it may all be for naught in the end.

  • Landing a Critical Hit - Humbling Rebuke

    A devil's due!We hold as one and strike as one!

The Occultist

Unpaid
Role assigned to: CireVA

"To fight the Abyss... one must know it."

A half-possessed scholar of forbidden knowledge, the Occultist has long accepted his own bloody fate since the moment he forged his contract with those unspeakable powers. He was invited to the hamlet due to his expertise in demonology, though he showed interested in the Darkest Dungeon itself.

The Occultist conducts himself in a very logical and sound manner in spite of the horrific implications of his current powers. Though he's the most level-headed of the group, he only done this through a nearly nihilistic mindset of self-doom.

Voice: Medium Low; Rational - Composed - Mindful <Any ALL CAPS lines in dialogue is the demon speaking, keep that in mind> 

  • Landing a Critical Hit - Prideful Howl

    Y'LW'NAFH N'GHFT.Behold! The unquenchable fire of the stars!

The Plague Doctor

Role assigned to: crosslachantu

"What better laboratory than the blood-soaked battlefield?"

A woman of science, medicine, and toxicology, the Plague Doctor is both sides of her aforementioned name beneath a blackened robe. Once the student of a great surgeon and lecturer, she's come to the hamlet to both ply her trade and to experiment on the horrors beneath. 

The Plague Doctor is a creepy woman, not because of her mask or satchel of diseased grenades, but rather her disturbingly curious interest in experimentation and dissection. She can still be trusted to heal as a doctor should, but her fixation on collecting 'samples' in battle makes everyone near her uneasy.

Voice: Medium - Medium High; Curious - Eerily Excited - Oddball

  • Landing a Critical Hit - Fascinated Excitement

    Look how they wither and die!One more cadaver for the cart.

  • Becoming Paranoia - Unfounded Distrust

    This has all been a decoy to steal my formulas! Deny it!You will not have my secrets! NO YOU SHALL NOT!

  • Becoming Stalwart - Scientific Certainty

    The prospect of death does not frighten me!Even the will benefits from the immune response!

Role assigned to: knight0mega

"A sister of battle... Pious and unrelenting."

A woman of powerful faith and unyielding light, the Vestal stands as the backbone of support for her companions through powerful healing prayers and judgement to her enemies. She's come to hamlet as a means of atoning for past misgivings, but knows full well her deeds many not be forgiven entirely.

The Vestal carries herself as a beacon of faith to her party, letting them take solace in her kind words and sympathy. She ultimately reviles her church betters as a result of abuse in a previous time, and longs for companionship among the hamlet.

Voice: Medium - Medium Low; Resolute - Benevolent - Obstinate

  • Landing a Critical Hit - Devout Proclamation

    Burn in the holy Flame!Blacken our world no longer!

  • Becoming Abusive - Malicious Rebdout
