Brief
Your Squad. Their Story.
Pelican Down is an audio drama designed to be experienced during actual gameplay.
Up to 4 players connect to a shared session on our website, and as they play through a mission, a fully-produced story unfolds in real time: voice actors, sound design, an original script and full original soundtrack. It’s immersive theater while you play.
The website keeps every player in the lobby synced together while they listen. You can even control playback from your phone while the audio plays on your PC, so nobody has to tab out of the game. Nothing like this has ever been attempted before.
The Story
SEAF Kilo Squad has been deployed to repair a damaged fuel station deep in contested territory, and they need Helldiver support while they work. What starts as a straightforward operation quickly reveals something worse – the damage wasn’t caused by a storm, like the intel indicated. As the situation unfolds, Kilo Squad finds themselves isolated and outgunned. Through it all, you’ll be patched into their comms, fighting your own mission while listening to their battle chatter.
Kilo Squad features Mason Cullweather, a quick-witted explosives expert; Henry Cooper, the wide-eyed rookie on his first deployment; David Romero, the team’s grizzled veteran; and Ben Belmont, the squad leader trying to bring them all home alive.
