Sealed
S4 E13: Sealed (GE40)
Summary
The Deep Dream State is kinky. The show also aspires to thinky. We call it "thinkykinky."
That's most clearly exhibited in Sealed. I'm not sure anyone asked for a kinky retelling of "Exactitude in Science." If you've ever felt the need for magical realism gone wild, though, this might be the show for you.
Sealed is the next chapter in the Snarecraft Cycle. Deep Dream State follows the standard season:episode format. "Cycle" just tracks stories within a season. Snarecraft's about a high fantasy augmented reality game that's repurposed to hunt down its creators.
Smaller hunting parties, or teams, lead the chase. Sealed opens with the secret wolfgirl team. We zoom in, though, on Team Alchemy. (Snarecraft Cycle episodes are all named alchemically, thus "Sealed.")
Following the logical path, Alchemy arrives at the most complete library ever. The events in there are the last step in their Snarecraft journey. They're orchestrated by the Head Librarian who seems eerily familiar.

Creator's Notes
I'm the showrunner. I'm also the writer, producer, sound designer, sound editor, director, and the IT department.
The IT department has had its struggles, but it's learning. Deep Dream State has perhaps the only show-maintained dynamic lore guide. It's linked extensively here. The show is often racy, but the linked site is PG at most, by design. Reach out if you want to implement a design like that for your own show.
This is E13. Vale Four will run for 18 episodes, and they're all in the can. The plane has begun its descent.
The next season is already under supported development. There will be some evolution. We'll incorporate a lot of romance in S5, on our own terms. Think monster romance.
We'll also cast broadly. Much of the casting comes from previous VAs. Some of it will be in conjunction with a new Closing Credits class. We're one of the fullest casts, though, so there are always frequent casting opportunities. Use the contact form to reach out if interested — select voice auditions.
