About this listen

In a hidden, magical library that archives the unspoken histories of queer individuals throughout time, a non-binary archivist must confront a powerful entity erasing LGBTQ+ narratives from the past, forcing them to preserve not just history, but the future of queer existence. Elian discovers a dangerous "Archive Rot"—a magical corruption that systematically erases LGBTQ+ stories from existence. The Rot is controlled by the "Oblivion," an entity that feeds on silence and historical erasure. As the Rot spreads, historical figures documented in the Archives begin to fade, and their legacies disappear from the world.

Elian, aided by a witty, time-displaced historian from the 18th century and a magically attuned librarian, must travel through the Archives' temporal pathways to confront the Oblivion at its source. Their journey involves stepping into pivotal moments of queer history, not to change the past, but to reinforce the truth of those experiences and protect them from erasure.
