A pattern is only obvious when it repeats. But some repetitions twist. Something in the ship’s architecture is clicking into place, and it isn’t just steel and wire.

Content Advisory

Deep Dream State is an audio erotica drama written and produced by Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns. It explores psychological fiction at the boundaries of control, identity, and complicity. Cusp contains liminal space horror, institutional surveillance, denial themes, power dynamics, and architectural horror. All performances are works of fiction and take place within a consensual creative context.

Sarah follows a mysterious note into the stone corridors beneath the Chthonic complex, believing she is close to uncovering the truth behind the Institute’s rituals. She is met instead by Nikki and Fion, two insiders who claim to be acting on her behalf. They warn that her investigation has gone too far, that every riddle she has chased was planted to lure her deeper.

They offer her a glowing book hidden in the vault. A vaccine, they call it. A controlled dose of the power she has been chasing. Reluctant but intrigued, Sarah agrees to read a single page. The words seem harmless at first. The air shifts as if they carry intent.

This episode contains adult themes and ritualistic horror. Intended for mature audiences only. This is a work of fiction, not a guide to real life phenomenona.

Asunder unfolds at the height of the Chthonic cruise. The passengers are summoned to a midnight ceremony led by Captain Dyer and Olivia, the ship’s Cruise Director.  The bride Emma stands trembling on the threshold of the ship’s altar, surrounded by bridesmaids who chant in voices no longer entirely their own.

The sea answers, and the wedding march becomes an invocation.

The crew call down forces from beneath the waves, binding flesh and will in a rite older than the ship or the civilization that built it. Tentacles, hymns, and deep harmonics mingle as devotion gives way to something that hasn’t got a human word at all.

Olivia and Holly guide the ritual with unsettling precision while Kara, a supernatural guest, warns of what lies deeper than the ceremony itself. Their exchange exposes the fault line the episode’s been building toward: a struggle between those who’d claim the abyss and those who’d dissolve within it. The Captain preaches that the old order’s made of sand. What rises from the deep obeys older laws entirely, and the crew respond in ecstatic unison.
