Apologies to all

Since September 1st, voice acting has been a go!
Voice acting will be tested by reproducing the demo with more story, plus the added voicing.
This will take about a month to finalise the applicants, get voice and code it in.
Any longer than the estimate will be announced through comment and cleanse of misinformation on this thread!

You wake up in hospital.
Your name is easy to remember- why you're here, isn't.
There are 28 days unaccounted for in your memory.
The doctor gives you two words.
Retrograde amnesia.
The longer you are awake, the more questions you have.
Why are the police involved?
What happened on the rooftop.
Why did you fall.
The longer they spoke, the more you understood.
There was a death that night- locked away in the memories you no longer had.

Removed concepts. All sprite art is still thanks to Red-Baby, so check her out.
This is the Main Character, you! (Custom name in game)
You wake up pretty beaten with amnesia.
There is a lot of information to put together, while juggling your return to school.
This is Jaden!
He is your childhood friend, a mischievous delinquent.
He's been in trouble more than you could ever keep track of, but has never been disloyal to you.
Bitchy, fashionable, and speaks his mind.
This is Cameron!
You don't remember him when you wake up.
He is not very vocalised. Stoic, calm, seems impossible to bother.
Doctor Quinn. The doctor who diagnosed you.
She's proud of her aboriginal heritage and strives to do her best.
This is Mark. Mark is a nurse. Mark is very good at being a nurse. Mark is also very good at having a small presence.
What does Mark know?
This is the policeman currently on your case, Caleb.
He seems like he's a little on edge.
This is the policewoman currently on your case, Jo.
She seems well rounded, and especially collected beside Caleb.
This is the gym teacher!...
Yep.
This is an example of how the sprites are progressing!
The Yaoi Jam has come to a conclusion!
The team so far consists of Red-Baby on sprites, and me on writing and coding.
I'm also happy to announce that Shortycake has decided to join the project by drawing a chibi design for the GUI!
The idea for this game is a high-school, romance mystery based around 'Amnesia'.Both Jaden and Cameron are romance-able, and both tie into the amnesia in their own way.
I wanted to explore the natural healing process of amnesia, in the way that memories are randomly 'regained' and it can be difficult to discern if they are real or not. The choices in-game will not only affect your relationship with both boys, but also how you perceive what you 'remember'.
The settings will switch between hospital, school, and the apartment you stay at.
I'd like to know people's ideas on this kind of amnesia vn.
Which character do you like the most! Who do you think has the most hidden secrets?
Any fanart is welcomed.
Planned rewards!
Once the complete game is released, anyone who has sent in fan-art, or assisted in the creating will get a secret code to enter into the game which unlocks some behind-the-scenes. This includes the process that led to the finished result. Character development. Short notes from team members, a thank-you message and a small amount of other goodies. Anyone who completes all possible endings will also receive this code in-game.
Feel free to discuss any theories in the thread, but please use the spoiler tag!
