There Are Voices. Isn't it great! When your family goes away for the weekend leaving you home alone... It's party time right? Right? Well... In Effy's case it is far from it. Coming from a broken home, Effy tends to have a bad relationship with her family... especially her little sister, Lilly, and instead of enjoying the weekend to herself, it looks like some creepy babysitting is going to be one of her many chores... Lilly is far from normal, in fact, she's down right evil, and Effy has always known it. Maybe it's the imaginary friends... Though the weekend could be good for some sister bonding... no? There Are Voices is a Horror based around one girls struggle with life and the supernatural. You take the lead role of Effy who is tasked with looking after the house and her little sister for the weekend, but things soon take an eerie turn the more time she spends with Lilly... Effy soon learns that they are not alone in the house, and that Lilly's imaginary friends are not so imaginary. Soon enough Effy's life is in danger. The game is designed with a deeply immersive story and with secrets ad twists around every corner within the creepy atmosphere of always being watched by the Voices, and the Humans associated with them. SETTING Spoiler The game takes place in Louisiana, US in 2016... Although it is not mentioned as yet within the game. Effy gets to explore several indoor locations so far... The game also takes place within 3 different Dimensions. The Human World: where Effy struggles with her normal life and where the Voices interact by seemingly Paranormal Activities. The Dream World: where the Voices can manipulate their surroundings and hunt you down, and where nothing is what it seems. Purgatory, or Limbo: where the Voices live, and where it is easy to become isolated and lost, with an ever increasing danger of encountering the Voices in their true domain. CHARACTERS Spoiler Effy is 16 years old, the main character and lead role. A smart, witty and intelligent girl who is caught up in something beyond her control. She's just finished school and is currently unemployed and has no intentions of further studies, her life seems to be stuck in limbo after her parents divorce. Lilly is 13 years old, the little sister of Effy, a kid with some issues who may or may not have gotten mixed up in some disturbing Cult activity... Victor: A friend of Effy who struggles to understand but is always there to help. Varik Liakos: Found Online in a coming update, information about him is classified. Odie and the Family... Coming to get you? Oh I mean coming soon The S**** **** (Blurred out for safety reasons) The Voices: There are many Voices in the game, some humans would consider them as Ghosts although there is far more to them than simply being a deceased human. The Voices reside in another world and can interact with humans through the dream world. They are very powerful with unique and different abilities, I don't want to give too much away about them... Various other Characters the Effy meets, not worth mentioning them. MORE TO THE STORY Spoiler It's not all about babysitting the demonic child sister, the story is very deep and highly immersive, Effy has to eat, wash, and perform her household chores, as well as sleep. She will need to keep her wits about her, every choice has a consequence, and could lead to an untimely death. Certain choices will lead to different locations and story branches. The further she goes the more complicated and more dangerous it gets. There are/will be huge twists to the story, and one twist that'll be in the next update will completely throw the game into a new dynamic. SCREENSHOTS Spoiler *Notes: -As you will see, I have used a fair amount of the base game assets although I have also used many of my own too. -I am in the process of changing the Placeholders IE: the Music, SFX, some assets etc. -I am sticking with the characters since I like the original RMMV look, but I do edit certain things making them a little different. And stuff and things! One thing I'd just like to say... I am pretty new at RMMV, I only found out about it last year when I decided I didn't know Coding so I found this awesome alternative which I am now a great fan of. I have seen quite a few of the games made by the people here which I am completely blown away by, you guys are freaking awesome and have jedi creating skills. Honestly I don't have the resources that a lot of you have, but I hope you enjoy what I've done so far, I have big plans and will be continuing this project for a very long time. I plan to make this game impossible to complete in a short time while being very interesting and immersive, as well as have many unique chills and jumpscares, although they do need work I'll admit that.

Had a huge bug in 0.07 so my apologies if anyone had downloaded the game prier to 0.08. Was such an easy fix too so I've learned a valuable lesson... Test, test and more test, not just test and test, there has to be a third test on the test test or it will take a Youtube video for the bug to revealed, but thankfully there was a video or I would never have found it.
I have since fixed it and also some of the minor bugs such as a few text mistakes. 0.08 is available for free and is continuously in progress, I plan for the next update to be huge doubling the size of the game with improved jumpscares and more puzzles and locations to explore.
Here's the video with the bug included... thanks to TheOdie for finding it!

I like the concept of this game :cutesmile:
I'll have to make some time to play the demo at some point.

Keep up the good work!

That is very appreciated Finnuval! And I certainly will :) I appreciate you taking the time to look as well as thinking about playing!

Looks awesome! I’m currently making a horror game in RMVXA at the moment, and I’ve been searching for similar games to try. and I haven’t found too many horror games in development, so it’s great to see such a cool looking one! I’ll try to download it and play tonight. (Quick question, is the tileset custom? I don’t think I’ve seen it before?)

Hey there! Awesome! Really appreciate the reply :) Link me your project too man that'll be cool to see what you've done so far, love horror! Yeah I've customized pretty much everything so far with the exception of a few things, I've tried to make it so I'm not repeating any assets at all and I'm editing and customizing everything. Some of the music is currently from a Horror DLC but I'll be working on the Soundtrack, SFX and the characters for the next update so everything will be my own original stuff eventually. Thanks for taking a look at my game man that's mighty awesome of you and it's greatly appreciated!

Yea no problem! The tileset is amazing!
Here’s a link to my game, but I’m really not proud of its forum post atm, and don’t even have a demo. I’m working on updating it, but for now it’s extremely boring... https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/half-dead-atmosphere-based-horror-adventure.98272/

Thanks man! I've seen a few of the games here and just wow really... Mine might look ok but some of these guys can create works of art! Though I'm quite proud of it so far, I say quite... There is still a hell of a lot of work to be done... I'm probably about 5% done with the game so far, I estimate the game will be finished in the year 2087 at this rate though I don't want to make a game where the player can complete it within a day. It's disappointing buying a game and finishing it in a few hours or less... Though I don't want it to be repetitive either, so there is much to do.
Also I like the idea of your game man, replied to your post :) Cheers!

I know the feeling! Seeing all these talented people kinda makes me feel kinda small, but honestly your game is one of the better looking horror ones I’ve seen here! Also, what I’d recommend doing to make sure you finish your game quickly is plan out the general path you want it to take, and build a rough version in rpgmaker all the way through, then polish it afterwards. When I first started this it took about a year for me to make about 7 maps, and it kinda sucked. Now that I’m drawing out the maps + puzzle + story out beforehand, I’ve got about 30% done in a few months! (HD definitely be way shorter than TAV though). I played through a bunch last night, I love the detail and the characters! It has a bunch of genuinely heart-pounding moments too!
