In the not-so-distant future, when the American economy is in turmoil and riots are amok, Dr. Adam Walls releases a new drug approved by the FDA, called "Iris", a lucid-dreaming drug made to ease the nerves of those worried by the state of the economy.

Some weeks later, a small group of people are taken in for questioning by the FBI, but why? What you're about to hear are their interviews, their stories. Billy Cloud is the first from the group. He shares his dream experience of Iris.

OMG, I finally have time to listen to this. A very interesting and complicated area is chosen, a very intriguing first episode, amazing music and pretty character sprites. Absolutely awesome.

Honestly I thought it was going to be animated as well like a webcomic style. But the sound effects makes it work and good voice acting. The characters are there, we just need the backgrounds and text for dialog. It may take some work, but the characters can have like three different posses for expression or something. Other than that this will make a good audio book.
