Audio Dramas aren’t free to make, but until now we’ve been able to create tons of free content mainly from our own pockets. So what’s changed? Well, this is our biggest script yet, the most characters, the craziest situations, and much much more. Written by Jonathan A. Golberg (Fall of the House of Sunshine) and James Oliva (What’s the Frequency) this arc will be Lake Clarity’s strongest yet. Blending bits of psychedelic horror, candy, time travel, and disgusting tentacle bearing wall flesh!
Where we are in Development
Right now, our script is fully finished and now we’re looking for help! We’ll be using the funds raised by Kickstarter to book time at a local studio, hire actors, and cover all our software and sound design needs!
What Else Have We Made?
Midnight Disease Productions is the team behind Lake Clarity, SCP Archives, Aftershocks, The Enoch Saga, and our miniseries, Liminal Apocalypse.
Pacific Obadiah is responsible for all of these shows and acting as sound designer on Lake Clarity, SCP Archives, and The Enoch Saga. He’s also worked on other shows like Creepy, Liberty: Tales from the Tower, and The White Vault
Jonathan Goldberg is the wacky whimsical co-creator of The Fall of the House of Sunshine- An audio drama musical! It involves a quasi-cult like religion obsessed with brushing teeth, a hard-boiled detective, and a fuzzy plot of puppet doom!
James Oliva is the mastermind behind the psychedelic noir detective audio drama, What’s The Frequency? From strange radio adverts to a missing typewriter and the crime king of LA, this show brings the best of David Lynch’s surrealism, into an immersive audio landscape.
Lake Clarity first began when I sat down with ten friends and told them I wanted to do an Audio Drama podcast. We had a studio on our campus, I had a computer, and an (admittedly cheesy) script I wrote last summer.
So we did.
And it did well. So we wrote a second season, and then we launched a few new shows, and that lead to partnerships, collaborations, and much more audio drama.
But now, I’m ready to return to Lake Clarity, and share with you the end of an adventure that began over four years ago.
Haven’t Heard Our show?
That’s okay! Season one, two, and three all share the same universe but are designed to be their own standalone story. Anything you need to know we’ll include in the new season, but truthfully, this is a new story in the Lake Clarity universe.
But, if you do wanna catch up, you can listen to the whole show free on any podcast app! Or, read our summary below…
The Story So Far…
Five teens venture up to Camp Clarity, expecting a fun trip at a supposedly “haunted” summer camp. The camp’s not haunted, but something devious lives below Lake Clarity. After venturing around, they discover an abandoned military facility, where that devious thing lives. Horror ensues.
A year later, local journalist, Sam Parsons, ventures to the small town of Nederland where she is covering an upcoming music festival, but while in town she hears whispers of the missing kids. Deciding to follow her gut, she investigates the story and quickly finds herself in the center of a military coverup, and inter-planetary struggle.
Now: The base beneath Lake Clarity has been reactivated, and the research that started 40 years ago, is to be continued. Site Five is active. The Rift is open. Project Kahlo is in effect.
It’s time to go through The Rift, and find what’s on the other side.

Interested to see the physical rewards we’re offering? Look no further! While these are some of our older photos, don’t fret, new ones are coming soon!
None of us are full-time creators, which means we’ll be working on this project around our own lives and jobs. This makes things like delays, time crunches, and setbacks a very real possibility. Fortunately, Kickstarter will allow us to take the time we need to make this project, and give us the opportunity to work on this full time! Also, we’ve worked on a good handful of audio dramas together, we know what to expect, how much time it’ll take for us to make the show, and how to be upfront about any setbacks we may have.
