A dystopian saga where silence has a cost, neon hides the truth, and rebellion grows between the cracks of a dying world.

In a unforgiving city, Kaiya, Kassian, and Søren become targets of a relentless force. Caught between ruthless megacorporations, deadly underground fights, and buried secrets, they must fight to survive and to expose the truth about the drug that keeps Neontreal under control. However, revealing that secret may cost more than their lives; it could redefine reality.

After escaping a city that marked them for death, Kaiya, Søren, Kassian, and Mizzy cross into the Wastelands, where the blight twists reality itself. Hunted by the Regime and shadowed by the Ascension Tower, they chase whispers of a truth long buried. But uncovering what lies beneath may cost more than their freedom; it may unravel the world.

In the fractured heart of Neontreal, forgotten lives and hidden agendas collide. Obsidian Bloom: Echoes reveals the city behind the neon, its rebels, its outcasts, its silent victims, and the elite who thrive on illusion and control. Across alleys, towers, and underground sanctuaries, each story uncovers a fragment of a world where truth is rare, freedom is costly, and survival is never guaranteed.

In the silent fractures of Neontreal, ordinary lives hide extraordinary wounds. Echoes 2 reveals the forgotten, the gamer whose virtual strikes spill real blood, the grieving son searching for a sign, the boy fighting memory’s erosion, and the woman whose device turns sorrow into something dangerous. These stories explore longing, illusion, and quiet resistance in a city where technology reshapes grief and even the smallest echo can leave a scar.

Dive into Obsidian Bloom: Echoes, now available as an audio series. Each episode brings a short story from the dark, neon-lit universe, tales of resistance, loss, and survival in the shadows of Neontreal.

An original score that captures the pulse of Neontreal. Atmospheric synth waves, dystopian ambience, and the electric heartbeat of a world on the edge.
