Step into the dim halls and bloodstained courtyards of 15th-century Wallachia, where being a noble wasn’t a privilege — it was a warning sign. In this slow, immersive descent through paranoia, performance, and political cruelty, you experience firsthand what it meant to dine in Vlad the Impaler’s court… and how quickly a feast turned into a funeral.

This is not a tale of rebellion. This is not a story of villains and heroes. It’s a story about visibility. And what happens when power needs an audience — and an example.

If you enjoy dark, quiet, immersive histories told like bedtime stories for people who can’t sleep, you’re in the right place.

In the dying days of the Roman Empire, glory was just a rumor—and survival was the only triumph. This is not the story of emperors or generals, but of a forgotten peasant watching his world crumble, piece by piece. War, famine, fire, silence. He doesn’t witness the fall of Rome with grandeur. He endures it with dirt under his nails and smoke in his lungs. If you're still listening by the end, thank you—for bearing witness to the kind of endurance history rarely honors.

In 1972, a plane carrying a Uruguayan rugby team crashed into the Andes mountains. What followed was not a tale of triumph, but of endurance—cold, slow, and horrifying. This is not a story of heroes. It’s a story of what survival really costs when the world forgets you exist. You’ll live the disaster moment by moment: the crash, the silence, the hunger, and the unthinkable decisions that followed. This is the Flight 571 disaster, told from the inside—slow, immersive, and unflinching.

This is not a story of triumph. It’s not a tale of defiance, or vengeance, or victory. It’s the quiet unraveling of a life built on promises the earth never agreed to keep. In the wake of the 1875 Rocky Mountain locust swarm—the most devastating insect plague in American history—one settler family watches their world erode into silence. There are no heroes here. Just weathered hands, chewed-up fields, and the slow, suffocating persistence of survival without reward.

Told in immersive second person, this video walks you through the days, then weeks, then years after the swarm—where the wind carries more than dust, and memory becomes heavier than hunger.

If you're still here by the end, thank you. You weren't meant to win. But you endured anyway.

You didn’t pick up a musket. You didn’t burn a town or raid a rebel camp. You just stayed loyal—to the king, the crown, the world you thought would endure. And for that, you lost everything.

In this slow, immersive journey, we follow the quiet unraveling of a Loyalist during the American Revolution. No glory. No recognition. Just confiscated land, public humiliation, and the kind of exile that erases your name one generation at a time.

This is not the story they celebrate on the Fourth of July. It’s the one history leaves out—on purpose.

Step into the cell, sit with the silence, and try to remember your own name.
This is not the story of a king or a hero. This is the story of a man—real or imagined—who was erased not with violence, but with procedure. Who may have committed no crime, but became a secret anyway.

In this slow, immersive journey into the life and death of the Man in the Iron Mask, you’ll encounter the quiet horror of anonymity, the psychology of isolation, and the centuries of speculation that followed. This isn’t a tale of adventure. It’s a funeral you were never invited to—for someone no one was allowed to know.

If you're still awake at the end... thank you for bearing witness.

In this slow, grim journey through 14th-century Delhi, you—barefoot, sunburnt, and starving—make the worst possible decision: trusting the street food. What begins as curiosity and hunger soon spirals into a full-body betrayal. From open sewers and reused oil to explosive regret and final delusion, this is a historical descent into microbial madness.

Narrated in a calm, softly spoken tone, this immersive second-person story blends grotesque sensory detail with dry, sarcastic humor. It's not exotic—it’s septic. And you won’t survive it.

What was it really like to build the Great Pyramid of Giza? Spoiler: you wouldn’t survive. Forget aliens, secret tech, or romantic tales of ancient glory. This is the story of the nameless, sunburnt men who carved limestone until their hands bled, dragged blocks until their bodies broke, and died in the dust without ceremony. Told in immersive second-person narration, this grimly educational sleep video takes you deep into the heat, filth, and silent horror of Egypt’s most enduring monument — from the quarries to the tomb, and everything in between.

If you’re still awake by the end, you may never look at the pyramids the same way again.
