Draven: Life Beyond the Dead

“What if you could hear the voices of the dead?”

James Draven, an aspiring writer who is full of life and optimistic, along beside him, his fiancée Blair Webster. When Blair suddenly disappears. Stuck in this nightmare of paranoia, James enters a world of distortion and uncertainty. He experiences a strange vision and begins to interact with a strange figure revealed to be Death herself, The Grim Reaper. The Grim Reaper begins to toy with James, making his home environment unsettling and uneasy, making him feel anxious and on edge. In the course of their time, The Grim Reaper tells James a story of a man who loses everything after being unable to control his new abilities, causing James to be sceptical about himself and his fiancée. But of course, once the story ends, he begins to question why he was told the story and what it could mean for the future, whilst also asking what the mystical being’s purpose was, and why they entered their home, along with the abilities that they possess.
