The Best hours of their Lives

Gloom Gala is a OC roleplay group themed around both Danganronpa and Escape the Night. A group of strangers are invited to an elaborate house party that takes place 50 years in the past. Once there they become aware that the only way to return to 2018 is to collect several Dark Artifacts. The catch is that for each artifact one member of the group must trade their life.

is there be a list of submitted hopefuls?

I’ll post a submitted list when apps close.

There’s no talents for this group and I don’t mind if multiple people have the same occupation, so overlap shouldn’t be an issue. I also just find that having a list of how many people have applied adds unnecessary anxiety for people. If you’re worried about your submission not going through you can just ask me off anon or wait until I post the list after apps close and then resend it then. Although, in my several years experience modding the only time I’ve ever had someone tell me that their submission didn’t go through it was because their internet died as the clicked submit. So I really wouldn’t worry about your submission not going through.

Is there a hopeful's group on discord

I suppose I could make one if there’s interest. Although I currently don’t have one set up.

My esteemed guests, I have inherited an illustrious estate through the death of a distant relative, who I had never met. I thought it’d only be fitting to invite you all to a dinner party on its grounds. However, the estate is quite peculiar and only exists in the 1960′s. To enter its grounds you must have both the clothes and attitude to match that era, if you are carrying anything from the modern world on you, the house simply will not appear for you.

Gloom Gala is an OC roleplay that has many elements of Danganronpa and Escape the Night. Rather than talented high school students and murders, the game will focus around successful and famous people invited to a cursed dinner party. An evil entity keeps them trapped in the 1960′s with the only way to return to the modern world being gathering several Dark Artifacts before the sun comes up. The only way to obtain these artifacts is to send two house guests into a challenge where the victor will claim the artifact and the loser will perish.

Gloom Gala will be submission based with some Discord elements. It will include an adventure style investigation blog where you must click through links to discover clues. The entire game will take place in one night in game, but each chapter OOCly will be 1 or 2 weeks, depending on how fast puzzles are solved and votes are sent in. Due to taking place in one night ICly there won’t be free time, but interaction is encouraged through investigation and voting.

9-12 characters will be accepted.

Apps will close on September 20th

Does our character have to be japanese? And when do applications end?

The game actually takes place in the United States, so they don’t have to be Japanese. They do have to be fluent in English, though.

Applications currently end on September 7th, but I’m thinking of probably pushing this back to September 20th since I’m actually busy next week and I know some people have been asking for more time.

Robots, Yes or No?

Not for this game unfortunately. Modern technology cannot exist in the house, so unless the Robot was built in the 60′s they wouldn’t be able to exist in the game.

will there be a way to confirm our apps made it in?

I’ll have a submitted post once I get a few apps.

when you say "please do not write this as a narrative" for the backstory, what do you mean by that?

It’s when you write the backstory like it’s a short story. Like with narration and dialogue. I just want an explanation on their backstory.

I ask this mostly because while they’re neat and I’ve seen some very well done apps with narrative backstories, it has the side effect of making the backstory and app as a whole much longer and also can sometimes make the backstory come off as vague in parts. I personally would just like to avoid them since it makes it easier on me.

Hopefully that makes sense!
