The Elysium Project

The Elysium Project is an online audio drama series created by DragonKnightTara. It currently has two episodes released, each split up into seven to nine 10-minute chapters. They can be found here.

The Elysium Project begins as a small handful of students are pulled into the terrifying world of a powerful new drug, known simply as the Elysium formula. Developed by a power hungry businessman, and sold to a man with less than honorable intentions, the formula allows it's subjects to manipulate the world around them in accordance to their own desire.

However, the formula is far from perfect as the students begin to develop second personalities embodying their desires. Without hesitation or moral restraint, the project soon turns more dangerous than it's creators anticipated and the subjects must learn to control their abilities before the things they want most become their worst nightmares.
