1. BETHLEHEM
You cannot speak. You cannot move. All you can do is listen as your fate and the fate of all the other recovered bodies on the ward are determined by petty-minded bureaucrats.
What if death is merely a pause? If you could live for just one more day, is that an offer you’d take up?
You come into consciousness. You cannot speak. You cannot move. You cannot even make it understood that you hear everything going on around you. All you can do is listen as your fate and the fate of all the other recovered bodies on the ward with you are determined by petty-minded bureaucrats.

THE Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ AND DARKFIELD PRESENT AN UNNERVING TRILOGY OF IMMERSIVE BINAURAL EXPERIENCES. MEET YOURSELF IN THE DEADHOUSE.
DEADHOUSE is a trilogy of immersive audio horror shorts, all for a single listener, lying down, with their eyes closed. Headphones are essential. The listener becomes the subject while the binaural sound surrounds and creeps towards them. Their familiar environments slip away, to be replaced by other, less comfortable, worlds that feel unnervingly real. Each episode is for the cold and the callous amongst us, and takes a look at the separation of mind and body.
DEADHOUSE was created by DARKFIELD for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4.
