Set in the near future, A BETTER PARADISE tells the story of the ill-fated development of an ambitious but addictive digital game-world project led by inventor and psychologist, Dr. Mark Tyburn.
As the advanced software they developed began delivering unexpected and disturbing results, the team fell apart under strange circumstances and the project was abandoned. The game world and the super-intelligence within were discarded, left dormant and undiscovered. Until now.
A BETTER PARADISE is an expansive new universe created by Absurd Ventures, the new company founded by storytellers behind Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto.
Experience this terrifying new world via the 12-episode original audio fiction series, A BETTER PARADISE Volume One: An Aftermath starring Andrew Lincoln, Shamier Anderson, Paterson Joseph, Rain Spencer and more.
Coming June 10th 2024.
Produced by Absurd Ventures in partnership with QCODE Media.

Customer Reviews
Every episode is the same? Kinda?
I get what they’re trying to go for but it could’ve been done a lot better. Every episode has just too much rambling and it all just starts to sound the same. Even with different characters it all just sounds the same.
Plodding plot
There’s no real action. The episodes don’t really advance a plot. Frankly much of the script seems like whining . Really wanted to like it, but I can’t recommend this show.
Bailed on first episode
Couldn’t make it through this guy’s monologue. Sorry.
