Actors: Please read over the info. Keep in mind this is a video game production, and there will be many non-standard aspects of this process. Leave a comment if you'd like. And please contact Patrick directly for more information.

 

 

The Plot:

     You find yourself accused of insanity in an isolated fishing village. Because the Gatekeeper is a man of integrity, your only hope of leaving this place involves cooperation with the village witch. As you explore the town known as Northcliffe you learn about the inner workings of its inhabitants and the quickly changing world outside of it. Through the completion of tasks assigned by the witch, you are able to prove your sanity to the village and leave to explore the rest of the world.

 

Tone;

     The tone is largely humorous. Because of the nature of the plot, dialogue should be lighthearted and slightly over dramatic. Moments of emotional impact will find themselves through the subject matter, but a character's persona should always be one of over the top exuberance. The audience is of all ages. 

 

Compensation;

     This is a student production, so there isn't any money involved. If you need cash for gas or other expenses, let us know and we will work it out. The reward for you will be involvement with the video game industry. Your role is a rapidly increasing one in this industry, and if you haven't done any work for games in the past, it is likely that you will in the future. This position may also be a period of growth in your portfolio and may encourage new talents in your acting.
