What's In The Rift?
Role-Playing Science Fiction Horror Series
“What's In The Rift” is a modern day sci-fi and horror influenced podcast that combines elements of an Actual Play and Audio Drama. This show explores complex themes of philosophy, identity, consciousness, and the interplay between narrative and historical truth.
The story revolves around six individuals who receive mysterious invitations to an enigmatic website known as The Rift. This website promises to provide answers to life's most profound questions, drawing each in as they hope to process some of the inexplicable things happening to them in their own lives.
Within The Rift's message boards, they encounter a series of perplexing posts, filled with hundreds of people attempting to decipher the impenetrable posts filled with strings of words, coordinates, and chemical composition markers. As they dive deeper into this digital maze, tensions rise, and the group becomes increasingly curious about what lies behind The Rift's cryptic facade.
Things take an unexpected turn when one member of the group claims to have decoded The Rift's mysterious schematics and built something extraordinary. This revelation prompts them to embark on a journey to Orlando, Florida, hoping to uncover the true nature of The Rift and its potential connection to their own mysterious pasts. What they discover there, however, is more than they originally bargained for. Hidden rooms, a long desiccated body, a computer that operates itself, a device seemingly designed solely to cause brain damage, and the crumbling edges of reality all await our players at their destination.
“What's In The Rift” offers an immersive audio experience, where each episode unravels new layers of intrigue and self-discovery. We are edited heavily to highlight the story without erasing the charisma of the players at the table. Though the subject matter can be weighty and is often treated as such, we aren't afraid to highlight the humor of the sometimes absurd situations that arise both at the table and as part of the story.
