Description

In the outskirts of Luxbourne City stands a 17th-century English mansion, rumored to be haunted by vengeful spirits. After reading a letter discovered inside on the day of its open house, seven people find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of madness plaguing the Ermengarde Mansion for centuries. Will they be able to free themselves from it, or will they become another casualty?

RoleBartender
Voiced byJason Marnocha

Description

Down-to-earth and companionable, G is the sort of bartender that anyone can ask for. He’s got a listening ear and a mean drink for anyone in need of it, not because that’s his job, but because he actually enjoys what he does. Although there is plenty of trouble to be had, being around drunkards many hours of the day, he takes care of his patrons well enough and makes sure they get home safe, calling cabs for them, and keeping their car keys until they return sober. He has quite the live and let live policy, a necessity considering all the scuffles he had to get into with the more rowdy drunks.

Voiced byJason Marnocha

Description

Someone who believes himself a man of great importance, Harvey can have an inflated ego in comparison to his brothers Norman and Gregor. Because of this, he can be arrogant and obnoxious at the worst of times. There are moments though, that he can honestly be engaging and entertaining, depending on who you ask. It all boils down to the need for approval. These aren’t exactly the best traits to have, being Chief Inspector of a police department. Underneath it all though, he does have a cunning and analytical mind, something which he utilizes for his own gain and the gain of those who he has vested interest in.
