The Blackwater Files
Welcome to Elysium™. We are so glad you decided join us!
Death is inevitable. For all of human-history, mankind has sought to elude it. Immortality was believed unattainable. Here at Elysium, we believe the future is now and from this moment you’re part of that journey. The knowledge gained through your participation is invaluable.
As long as the world needs us, we will never sleep.

Welcome to the Blackwater project. The year is 2050, a near future, and a private pharmaceutical company is conducting an experiment to achieve immortality. They believe the key lies in the subconscious, the black waters of your mind.
Follow various characters as they navigate the darkest corners of their minds (the Undertow) through a pill administered by Elysium™. Each storyline is written by a different author—some with multiple episodes! Spend a little time with us, you will not be disappointed.
Enjoy!
