Summary
VS, Act 1: Versus opens the door to a nightmare none of our characters saw coming. Programmer Randall Parker’s life starts spiraling when he takes over a job for his friend Dana, leading him deep into the enigmatic Versus Incorporated. What begins as a simple day at work turns into a nightmare of violence, captivity, and betrayal, as Randall and fifteen others wake up caged and collared in a blood-soaked arena. Their captors? Unseen, but ever-present—demanding only one thing: fight, or die.
The first episode sets the stage with a harrowing introduction to the brutal tournament, laying bare the horror that awaits as these ordinary people realize they’ve been thrust into a gladiatorial death match. The fight is real. The stakes? Life or death.
About VS: "Sixteen people. Three rounds. One survivor. Welcome to the Versus Tournament, where everyday people must fight to the death—live-streamed for the darkest corners of the web. A brutal, high-stakes competition where only one escapes with their life... if they can survive the blood-soaked horrors within."
Inspired by the dark and twisted imaginations of Scott Sigler, Versus is a full-cast performance podcast where Saw meets Gladiator in a terrifying, action-packed three-part saga. With Academy worthy sound design and a cinematic score that will leave you on edge, every moment is crafted to plunge listeners into the terrifying brutality of the tournament.
