Hey, folks, I've recently come across a new web series that I thought I'd pass along. It's called, simply enough, Reise the Series. Here's the premise:
The first episode of the first chapter was just posted this morning. You can see it at their site: riesetheseries.com/ They also have a YouTube channel here: www.youtube.com/user/Riesetheseries If nothing else, take a look at the trailer and see if it's something that you may be interested in: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yXNM9bYPDo
Personally, I was impressed with the quality of the episode and the list of credits. Much better than other web series I've come across such as Dark Commandos or Gemini Division. Gemini Division was decent the episodes were just to short. My only complaint with Reise so far is that some of the scenes seemed rather dark but that could very well be because I watched it on a non-calibrated monitor.
Anyways, I thought some folks may be interested and it may even inspire a few ideas...
Riese is a world of moral ambiguity and political intrigue. A decimated land populated by characters from dreams and nightmares. Loyalties are ever in question, suspicion in the minds of all. A power-hungry tyrant, Empress Amara – ruler of the kingdom Eleysia – has been conquering nation after nation in order to unite the people under one banner. From the shadows, however, an enigmatic group clearly wielded power over her. Called The Sect, they purported themselves to be the official religion of Eleysia, and began to spread alongside the nation’s borders, infecting the lands with chaos and turmoil.
And yet, despite the impending doom, a single beacon of light shines in Riese. A mysterious wanderer, she travels with her wolf Fenrir across this barren land. Branded as heretics by The Sect, Riese and Fenrir will pause to aid those in need as they travel, but they must evade capture at all costs. As she flees, she’ll piece together her past and her destiny, in a conflict that will hold the fate of this world in the balance – and the once peaceful kingdom of Eleysia will be the battlefield.
