  • Note the content warnings!
  • STICK AROUND TO THE CREDITS for a special goodbye message from co-creator Reg Geli!


Manfred D'Arce once believed that he was special. A chosen Elder, better than lesser men. That was, until, he began to see the Elders fall to ruin.


The straw that broke the camel's back, and Manfred D'Arce's faith, was Clarence Thompson, and what he had hidden in the basement of his remote winter cabin.


Content Warnings: References to multiple murders, starvation, torture, mutilation of adults and children, frozen limbs, death by bludgeoning, flaying, frozen corpse

    A quick promo from our friends at [REDACTED], even if they're stealing Donner's name ;)The [REDACTED] Kickstarter is live May 17th at 1pm CST https://theredactedunit.com/ks [REDACTED] follows Jacob Kane (voiced by Jamie Petronis), a failing actor desperate for a fresh start who assumes the identity of his deceased twin, Jordan (Nathan Lunsford – The Storage Papers). What he expects to be a simple accounting job turns out to be something far stranger: a position within THE [REDACTED] UNIT, an underfunded agency tasked with discreetly handling bizarre and often dangerous paranormal cases. As Jacob settles into his role, he begins to unravel the unsettling truths around his brother’s death. What begins as an act of reinvention slowly becomes a desperate descent into a treacherous web of paranormal forces, secret agendas, and moral compromise.
