Description

Codex Universalis: The Time Traveler's Guide to Rebuilding Civilization

(1-Student Production)


A cinematic audio drama experience exploring humanity's greatest "what if?"


When a quantum physicist's experiment goes catastrophically wrong, they're displaced to ancient Rome 100 CE with nothing but the knowledge in their head. No tools. No resources. No way home.


This isn't a story about conquering history. It's about rebuilding everything from striking the first spark to designing digital computers one painstaking innovation at a time.
