This show is written in a first-hand, first-person format from uncertain and inconsistent narrators. This show explores specific mental health conditions. Whilst there is consistent use of derogatory terms for those with specific conditions or neurodivergence including lunatic, maniac, crazy, psychosis etc., this show is written and produced by a team that live with some of the specific illnesses featured within, including Tourette’s syndrome, schizoaffective disorder, insomnia, obsessive compulsive disorder, hallucinations, delusions, anxiety and depressive conditions, among others. Our team also features an academic background in neurology and psychology that has been drawn on to aim for sensitivity and accuracy. The intent of the language and experiences within the Sleep/Wake Cycle, and the extended works of Maeltopia, are designed to explore these conditions and their related isolation and degradation as experienced first hand. The world of Maeltopia is one where the mentally unwell are the majority. Yet there are still outliers who are hunted out.

It starts with a game, or something that feels like one. WOE.BEGONE follows Mike Walters after he stumbles upon a bizarre and brutal online experience bearing that same ominous name. This isn't just a story about playing a game; it's about being pulled into its mechanisms, where actions in this so-called alternate reality have tangible and dangerous consequences in the real world. As Mike digs deeper, the central mystery shifts from simply surviving the game's challenges to unraveling the profound and terrifying technology that could possibly power it. Each episode of this fiction podcast is built with a dedicated, original soundtrack, creating an immersive atmosphere that blends science fiction speculation with relentless narrative momentum. The journey, presented by WOE.BEGONE Industries LLC, becomes a high-stakes investigation where the lines between game, experiment, and reality completely dissolve. Tune in not just for the escalating puzzles and threats, but for the unsettling question of what happens when a game starts designing the player.
