The Deep Estate

WELCOME TO THE DEEP ESTATE is a wildly irreverent action-adventure blending the paranoia of The X-Files, the surreal weirdness of Welcome to Night Vale, and the chaotic energy of Dungeon Crawler Carl.

John Doe always assumed his father was nuts. Then the Bureau of the Bizarre showed up at his door with a job offer. Now he’s a Collector, tasked with mopping up the mess reality leaves behind when it gets drunk and shits the bed.

His office is The Deep Estate, a bureaucratic labyrinth carved out of the Backrooms. His partner is Edith Sinner, who is absolutely not a vampire.

She just happens to be immortal and bursts into flames in sunlight. The first mission? To capture and contain a stab-happy No. 2 pencil inside an infinite public storage universe. It’s an insane job. It’s a deadly job. It’s a job with a pension and free dental. And in this economy?

John might be crazy, but he isn’t stupid.

But when he uncovers a conspiracy inside the Bureau—one that isn’t meant to contain reality, but control it—the timeline is literally RetConned to frame him for murder.

Hunted through impossible corridors by the very organization that recruited him, he has to expose the truth before the Deep Estate swallows him whole.

And the deeper John goes, the clearer it becomes: none of this madness is random. It all fits together, in a way only he seems able to understand. Welcome to your new nine-to-five. Welcome to the Deep Estate.
