Desolate Eden

Earth has abandoned its children. It fell silent while they slept. And now, in its place, the void calls out to any who are foolish enough to listen.

- Artaggio Espinora, Heir of the Charter, Cyprian, 2686

The Weight of Future History

Desolate Eden is a history podcast from the future, where a trio of historians reconstruct the “truth” behind events that took place hundreds of years before they were born.

Note, however, that these narrators may not be entirely reliable. Some of their sources are heavily redacted, and others are – by their own admission – entirely fabricated. History is made in its interpretation.

An Original Sci-fi Audio Drama

The narrative is brought to life by a large cast of voice actors, an original score, and unique sound design. The YouTube release has visuals that give new context for the events of the story.

While the setting was crafted in collaboration with astronomers, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to enjoy Desolate Eden. It has been crafted with a focus on good storytelling supported by a realistic understanding of space and physics.

Return to Earth

During a golden age now long past, humanity spread itself amongst the stars. But while enthusiastic colonists were on their way to their new homes, mission control cut all communications with them. Now, centuries later, their descendants are given the opportunity to return to Earth, to make contact with their lost cousins, and attempt to discover why they had been abandoned.
