Main Story
“Have you ever heard a building breathe?”
Hi. I’m Unknwn, a solo creator with a dream: to build DawnVeil, an analog horror series set in a haunted house that devours the people who enter. Inspired by Backrooms, The Walten Files, and the VHS horror boom, this series will follow different characters as they explore a house that should not exist—a place where rooms loop, shadows lie, and exits aren’t always exits.
Right now, two early audio entries are live on my YouTube. But to take this further, I need your help. I want to create full visual episodes, voice-acted scenes, and in-universe lore videos that gradually build a terrifying, interconnected world. Think ARG meets old-school VHS nightmare.
This isn’t a big studio project. It’s handmade, glitchy, surreal—and full of heart.
Why I'm Raising Funds
Creating this kind of series takes time, gear, and (most of all) collaboration. I want to pay voice actors and sound designers, improve my tools, and build better visuals.
With your support, I’ll be able to:
-
Hire indie voice talent
-
Build creepy, DIY visuals and props
-
Upgrade software and editing tools
-
Launch in-universe websites and lore drops
-
Keep it ad-free and weird
Funding Goal: $10,000
| Voice actors (10–12 episodes) | $3,000 |
| Sound design & mixing | $1,500 |
| Editing software & upgrades | $1000 |
| DIY props, glitch visuals & VHS FX | $2,000 |
| In-universe website & hosting | $500 |
| Campaign fees & margin for flexibility | $1,000 |
| Total: | $10,000 |
What Is DawnVeil, Really?
A house that shifts when you're not looking.
A staff that nobody remembers hiring.
A camera left running—and something watching back.
DawnVeil is part found footage, part ARG, part survival mystery. Every episode brings you closer to the truth… or deeper into the house.
