The Young • A new, slow-burn, coming-of-age horror set in Michigan 1995
1995. A summer camp cut off from the world. The kids who stayed behind tell the story.
On the long weekend before the campers arrive, the new teen junior counselors and cabin monitors for the summer of ‘95 - the “camptains” - reunite at Camp Whippoorwill.
The Young (www.theyounghorror.com) is a slow-burn horror actual play told through the eyes of the kids who lived it.
Set at Camp Whippoorwill in the summer of 1995, it follows a group of teenage counselors trying to hold onto their childhood refuge just as the world begins to fall apart.
When a strange sickness sweeps through the woods, the lodge burns, and the counselors find themselves alone with the campers. What begins as a nostalgic coming-of-age turns into a quiet fight for survival.
Played with Free League’s The Walking Dead RPG and blended with Microscope’s world-building, The Young combines narration-led play and immersive sound design to create a cinematic hybrid between audio drama and tabletop storytelling.
Episodes are under 30 minutes.
