Everyone gets exactly what they deserve. In Snarecraft, hubris is a lot more than an allusion. It’s a game mechanic. We open with the wolfgirls choosing to run on their exercise wheels – really everyone in the game is doing the same thing. Team Alchemy is still inside the Panoptic Library. Z observes it directly …
Everything in its place. The Deep Dream State is kinky. The show also aspires to thinky. We call it “thinkykinky.” That’s most clearly exhibited in Sealed. I’m not sure anyone asked for a kinky retelling of “Exactitude in Science.” If you’ve ever felt the need for magical realism gone wild, though, this might be the …
We see you scrying. The Deep Dream State‘s built for some fast lane changes. Whatever it’s got for handling is on display here; each scene’s drastically different. It’s all unified by the game. An augmented reality game for commercial deployment’s being used to hunt down the game designers. That’s dark. Every scene blends that darkness …

They’re spending Kama tokens on YumYum and Sapient …
We all make choices. Vale Four opens its arcade. The subjects get Kamas, games, and three hours they don’t remember losing. Blake sees the architecture. Gia sees the shimmer. Piper sees the high score. Nobody sees the cameras. Cast & Crew Written & Produced by: Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns Directed by: Neural Nets and …
There is a world behind this world. We’ve been making Deep Dream State for a while now. It was time to make a trailer. This is what the show is. Making a trailer deep into season four isn’t standard practice, but Deep Dream State isn’t a standard audio drama. I wish I had an in …
You watch the hands. Recalibration isn’t what anyone said it was. The Tell Cycle ends where it always had to: with the person who knew the whole hand before the deal.

Did I break science? Z reviews the FaceTrace profile on every subject in Vale Four. He discovers the system has gone proactive and frenzied, in that way. The Synthserv, played by dark romance author Valentina Vallay, isn’t waiting for sessions anymore. She needs seed.
