View ProjectOriginally began with transmissions of a being from another universe called The Librarian contacting ours and telling stories they have seen or heard about. This being also explained to the protagonist (who is the main universes version of The Librarian) in private how, in every universe, there is a single individual like them. When this individual dies, their consciousness continues into a new body in a different universe supposedly forever. This series is them attempting to combine knowledge across universes to break this curse so these individuals don't have to live and die perpetually and in agony. Meanwhile, a shapeshifting hivemind race called the Ravens are hunting them because they observe power. What's more powerful than being effectively immortal across the multiverse? So the main character, Jakyll, hastily builds a team to study the cosmic abominations they learned of, attempt to find a cure, and fend off the Ravens along with other cosmic entities. Join in to assist the team and to get answers to what else is out there.

View ProjectVox Chronos has a problem. He is an advanced AI program that exists in a parallel dimension that is 3,000 years ahead of ours. All life has died out and he is alone. Locked away in a space station museum, Vox attempts to follow his base programming to preserve the museum exhibits under his care by sending signals to our dimension. His hope is that he can pass on the stories of what happened in his dimension before it collapses, spelling the end for him and the exhibits. But who has been receiving his signal? And who is hunting them? Looks like someone doesn't want Vox Chronos to be heard. But who? (This project is designed to be best enjoyed through theorizing.)
View ProjectDr. Lilywise and Dr. Malva are on a mission to revolutionize the future of warfare through Project W.H.I.P: Weaponized Human Interpolation Program. In the depths of their facility, Dr. Malva begins to lose her mind in search of a successful candidate. Kidnappings, murders, and betrayal are all done in the name of science. While their story is crucial to this tale, it does not revolve around them. All that is known about the downfall of this facility can be found through fragments of Dr. Lilywise's audio logs at the beginning of each chapter. The logs date back to August 2035 and lead up to December 2039. This story follows the perspective of Jada Juarez, a 21-year-old college student, who fell victim to the facility’s kidnappings on a cold December night in 2039. Held in a cell hundreds of feet underground, she finds herself being tortured by the doctors’ tests with the rest of the victims. Upon her arrival, the initial surgery performed on her leaves her bewildered. The procedure fills her mind with memories and information about the facility that don’t seem to belong to her; as well as thoughts that are not her own. Things take a turn for the worse when Dr. Lilywise, her only ally, suddenly disappears. With tensions rising in the facility, Jada puts her life on the line and plans an escape from this hellish imprisonment. Will she trust the right people along the way? Or will she succumb to Dr. Malva’s experiments? Doctors and victims: their two points of view will create one story.

View ProjectThomas is Missing is an ARG/webseries which follows Thomas’s brother Jonathan as he attempts to find his brother. The only clues Jonathan has about Thomas’ whereabouts are video tapes Jonathan found hidden in Thomas’ room. The tapes are uploaded to youtube by Jonathan, but in no particular order. They show footage Thomas made during his filming sessions with various models, footage of Thomas walking in the woods, driving, and just about anything he felt like filming. Thomas becomes obsessed with filming, as if there is a strange force compelling him to continue. It was eventually discovered that there is a demonic, paranormal cult-like entity (Aka Manah) that was corrupting Thomas, forcing him to make films with these models and then killing them (or something like that). There is a theme of screens/entertainment/media being evil and perhaps a commentary on how the YouTube and/or other social media algorithms suck you into the digital world and distract you from your real world duties/responsibilities/loved ones.
