Absurd Ventures, the new entertainment studio founded by Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser, is about to debut its original IP, A Better Paradise. Absurd Ventures are working on a number of projects within the A Better Paradise universe, including a television series and video game. However, they're kicking things off with a 12-episode audio fiction series.
Today, Absurd Ventures released the first official teaser for A Better Paradise Volume One: An Aftermath. The teaser can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and other platforms. A video format of this teaser can be seen below. Just remember that this is for an audio series, so don't expect a lot of visuals in the video.
Set in the near future, "A BETTER PARADISE Volume One: An Aftermath" tells the story of the ill-fated development of an ambitious but addictive digital game-world project led by inventor and psychologist Dr. Mark Tyburn. As the advanced software they developed began delivering unexpected and disturbing results, the team fell apart under strange circumstances and the project was abandoned. The game world and super-intelligence within were discarded, left dormant and undiscovered. Until now.
Absurd Ventures say that A Better Paradise Volume One: An Aftermath will premiere on June 10th on major podcast platforms. There will be a new episode each week thereafter until all 12 episodes are released. I assume you're going to want to give this series a listen in order to get some backstory to the eventual TV series and video game.
