Attractions in Development

I am absolutely beside myself in sharing with that there is a new attraction under development!

Picture, if you will, a modern library, but with some notable differences. It is entirely digital, but you cannot access the content outside of the library. It is a storehouse of ancient and modern tomes, but the tomes are locked away in the vault. The library itself is a sort of lounge that offers guests plenty of space to sit and consume the content stored in the library’s databanks … that is, if you can find it. And the operator, the cosmic librarian, is a femme fatale: the Archivist.

Now, why would anyone want to visit such a library? Don’t people go to libraries to be surrounded by books? To bask in the representation of such a wealth of knowledge? Is this not one of the primary motivations beyond the access of the actual knowledge? Sure, yes, of course, all of those things. So why would anyone bother to visit this one, devoid of such stacks, of such immersion?

I suppose you will have to wait and find out! The Archivist will likely debut in the Backstage Pass, Volume III, at which time you will be introduced to the Archivist by a series of vignettes.

And speaking of vignettes, Body Count will have its own series of stories following its release. Body Count: Vignettes will follow our protagonist across the lengthy spectrum of time and her experiences in it. In the initial tale, we will be introduced to who she is and both the fortunate and unfortunate set of circumstances that set her on the path she now travels. These stories will also debut in the Backstage Pass, Volume III, making for a rather intense, thrilling, and bloody Volume altogether.

Now, without further ado …
