Tout sera - depuis l'intérieur - regardé, décortiqué, exprimé. Veut-il - peut-il - transmettre tout cela à son enfant ?

L'estremismo è radicale: l'umanità è marcia, nel paese deve tornare sovrana la Natura e - soprattutto - i suoi animali. Tutta la tecnologia è impiegata per realizzare questo unico obiettivo. Gli esseri umani che hanno contribuito nel passato all'attuale disastro ambientale devono ora pagarne il prezzo. E le femmine umane vengono sottoposte a meccanismi di riproduzione di massa per portare in grembo le specie animali in via di estinzione. Le strade di Maya e del geniale medico che ne segue la gravidanza, Clemente, sono destinate ad incrociarsi fatalmente. In un viaggio che cambierà le sorti del mondo intero. Ad Bestias indaga l’ecologia, i cambiamenti climatici e il vegetarianesimo da un altro punto di vista: quello di un’umanità che rifiuta se stessa in favore della Natura. E che non ha paura di usare scienza e violenza come potenti armi di autoestinzione.

12/24: D3
Audio RPG - Crime and Mystery
D3 – Ein unmöglicher Würfel. Ein dreidimensionales Objekt mit nur drei Flächen. Er steht auch für den Hauptcharakter in Staffel 01 des Podcasts. Gespielt wird die Story auf Improvisationsbasis in Character. Für Atmosphäre sorgen Soundeffekte, Roomtone und zur Szene passende Musik. Season 01: Detlef Dieter Detleffsson. Skrupelloser Ermittler. Unterschätzter Actionheld. Professioneller Alkoholiker. Damaged Detective begleitet einen Ermittler, der an einer dreifach gespaltenen Persönlichkeit leidet. Der Clou: jede dieser Persönlichkeiten wird von einem anderen Spieler gespielt. Diese wissen jedoch nicht, was der Spieler vor oder nach Ihnen erlebt hat. Somit kommt es auf Teamplay an, wenn sie den Fall lösen wollen. Diese Eigenheit sorgt natürlich auch für allerlei unterhaltsame Interaktionen mit NPCs, insbesondere, wenn ein anderer Spieler sie schon einmal getroffen hat.
