Dark Adventure Goes Interactive

Brace yourself for an all new DARK ADVENTURE. Join our special guest host Calvin Kirklee (voiced by Nick Offerman) as you choose your own adventure in this epic interactive story. You make the choices, and you suffer the consequences or succeed magnificently. It's all up to you. This dramatic interactive adventure features a large cast of actors, thrilling sound effects, and an original orchestral score.

Dark Adventure Radio Theatre: Purgatory Chasm can be played interactively through any web browser, on your phone, tablet, or via desktop computer. No microphone? No problem: you can also interact via clickable buttons.

Join Professor Nathaniel Ward and his colleague Charlie Tower as they investigate a mysterious cave in Massachusetts. Depending on the choices you make, several different stories may unfold, with outcomes including death, madness, and — quite possibly — triumph. Purgatory Chasm contains more than six hours of interactive audio adventuring. And if your adventure ends in cosmic horror, no problem, just try again!

If you'd like to experience Purgatory Chasm via your phone while on the move, we recommend the app version. To get it, download the free Twist Tales app. Launch the app and purchase Purgatory Chasm inside the app. To learn more about the episode, click here!

Extra Note: Purgatory Chasm is a little different than other Dark Adventure shows. Due to its interactivity, it is an experience you play rather than an audio file you purchase and download.  As always, we stand behind the quality and availability of your audio experience. If, for any reason, the experience becomes unavailable within two (2) years of purchase, you are entitled to a full refund. To initiate a refund, simply provide proof of purchase and contact our support team. This warranty applies regardless of the cause of unavailability and ensures your complete satisfaction and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: So, does this come on CD? Is it a download? How does it work?

A: Purgatory Chasm does not come on CD and is not a download. Due to its interactive nature, it's played on a web browser. Once you've purchased it, we'll send you a link to the page where you can play it. You'll need internet access while playing Purgatory Chasm, and you should keep the browser window open while it is playing in order to keep your place in the complex story.

Q: Wait, Nick Offerman is really the host of this Dark Adventure?

A: He really is. Nick is an old friend of ours and we were delighted we could bring him aboard to host this show.

Q: So how does the interactivity work?

A: Every few minutes, the host will ask you to make a decision about what happens next. You can either speak your answer or click buttons on your screen to respond. The story will unfold based on what YOU decide to do. There are three main stories, and lots and lots of different outcomes based on the choices you make. 

Q: If I play through one story, can I go back and play the other ones? 

A: You sure can. Some choices you might make can lead to unsuccessful outcomes. But you'll have opportunities to go back and try a different choice. Or you can start over. There are lots of ways to play Purgatory Chasm.

Q: How is the app version different than the web version?

A: In testing, we found that web browsers on mobile devices generally don't like to stay open and on for extended periods of time. The Twist Tales app avoids this issue as the app is happy to stay on for as long as you need it. It's made by our partners at EarReality who created the software that makes Purgatory Chasm work. The content of the app is the exact same as the content of the browser version, but if you want to play while driving in your car, the app version works better.

Q: Does this Dark Adventure episode come with the customary prop documents?

A: Because it's not a download or standard CD release, this episode doesn't have any props to go with it. But who knows what the future might bring? We do love to make props....

Q: If I buy the HTML version and then later decide I want the app version, can I get that for free?

A: Sorry, no. The products are sold by different companies and getting one does not entitle you to the other.

Weird wild and wonderful.

I did 3 run-throughs yesterday, one each of the three major choices (no spoilers!) to get a feel for it. So many twists and turns and important (and some familiar) places to go. Offerman as narrator was a joy I didn't expect, and the unexpected reactions from the broadcast studio at certain choices was also a dark foreboding delight. Intuitive choices usually get you through mostly unscathed, but random impulse choices can be loads of fun. If, by fun, you mean madness and certain death, which I do.

Can't Wait to Do It Again!

Just did my first playthrough. Can't wait to do it again in a day or two and make horrible choices. :)
