[Artist] [Composer][Volunteer] Looking for people for a mini horror novel

Hi! I'm Chatelain, a short story writer. I'm looking for people to help me create a visual novel. It's a little dream of mine, so I'm hoping to find someone who can help me. The story itself won't be long, so it won't be much work. I need a background artist, a musician, and a main menu artist.

The plot revolves around a guy who doesn't come from the best family and has some mental issues of his own. With all this in mind, he regularly escapes to the attic, where he meets (or invents, the reader decides) someone his own age. This guy also has his own problems, which are only partially revealed. They have fun together, forgetting about their problems; they're happier together than outside the attic, and their best option is to stay there forever... The ending is quite unusual and dark, but it fits the overall tone of the story. I won't give away everything; I want to keep you interested.

Working on the background images will require 7 to 10 frames. I'll include links to some of them below, so you have an idea of what you'll be working with.

For the music, I'll need three ambient tracks: one for the main menu and two for the game itself. Examples include:

Allowed to De Happy, Cornfield Chase, Limerence, Milk Cassette x.mp3, Green to Blue (slow version), You're Not the Same, Birthday Cube Escape OST.

For the main menu, you'll only need two full frames (the main menu and the in-game menu), as well as button changes, a mouse style, and an icon for the game itself. I'd say it'll require a lot of fine-tuning. I'll also include examples below.

(all references are generated by artificial intelligence, so there are a lot of things that need to be removed/changed)

That's basically it. I really hope you're interested in working on my project. You can contact me via Discord chatelain_2510 or Telegram @I1YKYK.

I'd appreciate any feedback, thank you!

would be glad to help with the music and sound!

Hi! I’m a horror illustrator concept artist and creature designer. I work both traditionally and digitally, and I’ve studied storytelling, especially horror and visual storytelling. So I like thinking not just about how something looks, but how it feels.

I also have a bit of experience with animation.

Hello, Chatelain. How are you? Are u still looking for composers? If yes, and if you want to give an opportunity, please, let me know. MOF: i'm working on some tracks to a horror visual novel project from a itch.io community member, so i think that i can help with something of this genre. :)
