A supernatural comedy audio drama, following the chaotic and absurd investigations of the Official Supernatural Neutralisation Agency (O.S.N.A.) as they attempt to stop otherworldly threats across 1990's Ireland. A narrative experience that weaves together improvised comedy, tabletop roleplaying and rich sound design.
This is a silly and irreverent love-letter to collaborative story telling, Irish folklore and 90's nostalgia, with each Article being a standalone investigation into supernatural phenomena, typically split into 3-5 episodes.
A narrative actual play utilising our custom-built TTPRG system that blends the ethereal magic of improv with the narrative satisfaction of dice rolls.
Produced by Felbryn Studios in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Friday 17th October. Join the fight against fright, when four strangers face the strange, in an irreverent and silly love letter to collaborative story-telling, Irish Folklore, and 90's nostalgia.
