The Codex - A constantly updated compilation of the most important pieces of information that you have learned in the story so far, like an in-story Wikipedia. It also contains lore-bombs and detailed explanations of concepts introduced in the story.
preface
(Podcast version) - This is a philosophical science fiction webserial about a young would-be hero’s journey through life, books, games, movies, and what he learns from them. Stylistically inspired by Isaac Asimov’s “talky” sci-fi and Plato’s Socratic Dialogues, the Safaris unfold through in-depth conversations between Phil and other characters. These discussions are packed with dry humor and pop culture references. What more could you ask for? How about an interactive story experience?
The story begins at a bit slowly as the characters are introduced, but it ramps up quickly midway through Chapter 1. Your patience will be rewarded. Starting in Chapter 3, the Safaris will open up into a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure format where you, the audience, can make key plot decisions. The characters will also grow or regress depending on your decisions as well, like in an RPG. But unlike in an RPG, there is no loading and redoing them! So choose wisely because you’ll have to live with the consequences. If all this sounds exciting to you, please consider subscribing (see the footer).

Phil Safari, a reluctant would-be hero, must prove himself worthy to the gods by completing the Task: change 1000 lives for the better, or else! After years of toil, the end is in sight…only it’s not at all what he expected.
