Ranger
Commander Kaia Voss
Adult woman. Grounded lower-mid register, calm command authority, held back rather than pushed. Never shrill.
The Last Road is failing. Six of us stand. That’s all that’s left.
In development · iPhone and Android
The seal on the Last Road has broken, and something is coming through. Overpath is a dark-fantasy RPG built for the phone — crowd running, action combat, rune puzzles and a war for the road, all in one world.
Dev update #1
See it running
A short look at where the build is right now: the four ways you play, the wardens waking beneath the mountains, and the roles I am casting.
Four ways to play
One world, four kinds of pressure
Crowd running
Steer your company down the Last Road, break the gates, and watch the wall of soldiers behind you grow with every one you clear.
Action RPG combat
When the line fails it becomes a fight. Skills, hordes, real hit weight — built for one thumb.
Rune puzzles
Match runes on the muster board while two armies grind against each other. Solve fast enough and a dragon enters the field.
The frontline camp
Between runs you build. Who you take into the next crossing matters more than what you carry.
All five are early prototype builds running on a real iPhone. Art, UI and balance are still moving.
The wardens
The dragons are not your mounts
They are the realm’s wardens, and they are older than every kingdom on the map. They sealed the Overpath once before, and it cost one of them everything — a seal like that has to be held shut from the far side.
One stayed behind. The rest went beneath the mountains to sleep. They did not wake for the frontier, or for the armies on the road. They woke because the seal broke.
Somewhere past the breach there is a second seal, and someone has to reach it.
Six oaths
The company
Six classes hold the Last Road. Every one of them wants the breach closed. None of them agree on what that is worth.
How it will be sold
Progression you play for
Nobody enjoys hitting a wall that only money moves. Overpath is being built so power comes from playing — the runs you survive, the company you muster, the oaths you take.
Anything I sell is intended to be cosmetic or convenience, never a shortcut past the game. I would rather say that now, while it is still a promise I can design around, than after launch when it is a defence.

Casting call
Lend your voice
I am casting voices for in-game dialogue and story cutscenes — real human performances, not synthesised ones.
Being straight about pay: there is no budget at this stage, so these roles are credit-only. Overpath is a solo project funded out of my own pocket. That is a completely fair reason to pass, and I would rather say it up front than bury it.
What I can offer is a credit, your files to use in your reel, and this: if Overpath reaches launch and starts earning, I come back to the people who recorded these lines first — for paid pickup work, and for a proper place on the team.
Arcanist
Sevrin Ashcroft
Man, 40s. Quiet, precise, over-controlled — a scholar whose composure keeps slipping in the gaps between lines.
I have read every account of the last sealing. None of them end well.
Veilblade
Ryn
Young woman. Quick, clipped, breathless — she has usually just run somewhere to tell you something.
They’re past the second ward. I ran the whole way — don’t tell me to calm down.
Chain-Priest
Mother Vell
Woman, 50s to 60s. Resonant, unsettlingly calm, speaks in certainties rather than opinions.
Say it aloud. The bell doesn’t care what you meant. Only what you did.
Wildling
Bracken
Older man. Gravel, warm, unhurried. Laughs in bad situations and means it.
The deer left first. Then the birds. When the land empties, you don’t ask why — you move.
Creature · Warden
Ysaroth, the Red Warden
Enormous, weary, courteous. Never shouts. A thousand years of patience and no interest in being thanked. The hardest read on the list, and the one I most want to hear.
I held your door for a thousand years. Tell me which of us is the monster.
1
Pick one role and record two takes of its line on your own setup — clean and dry, MP3 or WAV, unprocessed, slate your name at the top.
2
Upload it somewhere I can stream — Drive, Dropbox, SoundCloud, or your own reel page.
3
Send me the link below with the role you read for and anything about your setup.
4
I reply to everyone who sends something. If I want to use your read, you get the scope and the credit in writing before you record anything more.
Everything else
Work with me
Artists, engineers, composers, writers, testers, press — or something I have not thought of. Overpath is a solo project, and there is a great deal more to do than one person can reach.
