    The Hounds of Hübschdorf (formerly called 'Grauwald's Game') is an epic fantasy audiobook by Audio Epics that has been released on Halloween, since it has serious dark fantasy and grimdark vibes. This brand new Witch Hunter Tale is the direct prequel to Witch Hunter. ----more---- If you like a dark adventure story you'll probably enjoy this grim journey in the original fantasy setting of Hruda, inspired by everything we love: RPG settings like the Old World from Warhammer fantasy, eighties fantasy movies and J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth (amongst others). This first episode is the beginning of a full length audiobook that will bring the epic fantasy adventure from the novel alive. You can find all episodes here on YouTube.   ABOUT THE STORY The Treasure of Boneyard Bay is our most ambitious project so far, featuring hours of dramatized audio with original music and a rich backdrop of sound effects. This immersive treasure adventure can be enjoyed by complete newcomers as well as loyal fans of the Witch Hunter series. The Treasure of Boneyard Bay is a thrilling, epic prequel to the Witch Hunter saga. The events in this treasure adventure take place right before Witch Hunter. It succeeds the events in The Treasure of Boneyard Bay and The Beast of the Western Wilds.   PLOT SUMMARY When three Witch Hunters fail to return from a routine investigation, Master Ludlov and Initiate Tolfmann find themselves in a small village near the woods. While investigating the strange disappearance of their Brethren, it becomes obvious the mayor is not so keen on their arrival, and the villagers seem to prefer the distraction of the Graunacht festivities to their nosing around. When their inquest reveals a dark mystery involving evil magic and undead, Ludlov faces the true cause of the threat in a place more disturbing than he could have imagined. WANT TO SUPPORT US?

    Aliens are all around us, looking like regular humans, or like giant slimy insects, or very attractive blue women with weird appendages on their heads instead of hair. In any case, they're an interesting bunch and that's why we decided to devote a new episode of our storytelling podcast to them. We discuss everything from Mars Attacks to Alien and even Lilo & Stitch. Find out why aliens rarely have any hair (or not) and marvel as we delve into the depths of the galaxy... to boldly (and baldly) go where no one has gone before. Enjoy!

    The Treasure of Boneyard Bay - Episode 1

    The Treasure of Boneyard Bay is our most ambitious project so far, featuring hours of dramatized audio with original music and a rich backdrop of sound effects. This immersive treasure hunt can be enjoyed by complete newcomers as well as loyal fans of the Witch Hunter series.     Ludlov is an Initiate in the Witch Hunter Order when his organisation is called upon to find the fabled lost treasure of Boneyard Bay. Along with a cohort of Witch Hunters, a priestess and a mysterious shopkeeper, Ludlov will have to travel to the other side of the continent and face untold dangers, all while learning to rely on his travelling companions on his way to obtaining the Witch Hunter rank. The Treasure of Boneyard Bay is the thrilling, epic prequel to the Witch Hunter saga. The events in this adventure take place before The Beast of the Western Wilds, which was a prequel to Witch Hunter.   Our Witch Hunter stories take place in the world of Hruda, an original setting that may remind people of The Old World (Warhammer fantasy), Middle-earth and other settings from novels, games and eighties fantasy movies. ----more---- WANT TO SUPPORT US?
