Residents Of Proserpina Park Is A Fun And Entertaining Edutainment Audio Drama That Teaches Listeners
Residents of Proserpina Park is a fun and entertaining edutainment audio drama that teaches listeners about creatures from World Mythology and Folklore. This is my review.
Do you love mythology and folklore? Do you enjoy learning about mythical creatures in a fun and entertaining way? Do you like audio fiction? Well, then allow me to introduce you to @proserpinapark
Residents of Proserpina Park begins with a frame story. It begins with our unarmed narrator listening to some recordings that her brother gave her. They're made by a young woman named Alina, who is investigating rumors of a mysterious secret park, known as Proserpina Park. It's part of an assignment for journalism class. Alina found more than she bargained for. Turns out, Proserpina Park is a sanctuary for all the mythical creatures from across World Mythology and Folklore. Fortunately, she's not exploring the park alone. Alina meets a guy named Sam, who is something of a park resident himself. Each episode sees Alina learn more about the various creatures who call Proserpina Park their home.
I'd argue that, in many ways, Residents of Proserpina Park is an edutainment show. It sets out to tach listeners about different mythological creatures in a fun and entertaining way. Most episodes follow roughly same format; Alina will arrive at the park, meet Sam, and then Sam will tell her about a new creature, and explain the creature's origins and mythological significance. Usually, the recordings end right before Alina and Sam go to actually see the creature in question. Though, later episodes do shake up the format a bit. Alina starts exploring the park on her own, and bringing friends along, something Sam tells her she must never do. Some creatures, particularly the ones with human-level intelligence, do also make on-screen, for lack of a better way of putting it, appearances.
You get familiar creatures such as kappa or the Jersey Devil. However, you also get lesser known and more off the beating path creatures. For example, there’s the Aralez from Armenian Mythology. They're large dogs with feathery wings, and can heal people simply by licking them. There’s also the Bulgae. They're dogs from Korean Mythology who chase the sun and moon across the sky. When one of them bites the sun, it causes an eclipse.
Season 1 was absolutely fantastic. Episodes are typically about eleven or twelve minutes, so season one is easily bingeable. And I would strongly advise you to do so as quickly as possible if you haven't already.
Have to listened to Residents of Proserpina Park? If so, what did you think?

Seeing on Twitter a small video of a race of badly drawn horses and the art of it ended being like Umamusume, which then turned to Yuri, then to psychological horror, which felt like this post
Because they looked like this
And I love it because it shows the creativity of people to fashion art and stories out of the most ridiculous things.
“What… the hell?”
From within the metal shell, was not some foolish engineer or scientist trying to play hero like you expected, but some kind of… mass.
It kind of looks like a fetus, but the parts don’t even look human in the slightest. The mass seems to be attached to the suit, actually the suit seems a bit hollow.
Upon closer inspection, the suit contained no mechanisms within, just layers of metal in strange patterns, which was disturbing as just a few moments ago you two were flying above the buildings before you grounded your foe.
You aimed the blaster at the thing.
“What are you? Some alien playing human?”
The thing made lots of different sounds with each attempt sounding more and more human, until it could be understood.
“Not aliens. Our kin have lived in this land for a long time, but repeated monster attacks forced us to stay hidden from the world. Monsters you brought from their homes to feel like some bit shot crook.”
I need info from this freak, NOW.
“Hell’s your suit made of?”
“Shell. From scrap metal and our own fluids.”
“The flight?”
“Special bladders.”
“What about those beams?”
“Heard of those blood spraying lizards, it’s something similar.”
“Okay, you’re a mutant snail or something, why play hero?”
“ Like I said, this was our land, and not only are you trespassing, but you proceeded to wreck it with your stunts. That won’t do.”
“Ya know this is live broadcasted around the country right?”
“And we thank you, we struggled to find a way to show ourselves to the world.”
Enough stalling.
Remove them.
“Say your prayers, freak.”
“We don’t fear death. We will simply be replaced by another with skills that surpass your current ones.”
“What does that mean.”
“Our kin survived a long time with our fast adaptations and evolutions. We will soon out pace and eradicate you from this land.”
It started laughing before you vaporized it.
You then say a few words to the camera crew that picked up the whole exchange before returning to your lair.
If what it said was true, then a stronger creature is on its way soon, with the tricks that remove all yours.
If you want to rule it all, you need to keep adapting, lest the freaks take you out for good.
Let the games commence.
"Now behold! Behold as I unmask your...beloved...hero...?" The villain's voice trailed off as he tore open said hero's crippled mech suit on live TV, only to reveal something quite...unexpected.
Ok magical girl, I know you while shtick is that you beat your foes with the “power of friendship” and magic blasts and beams but have we tried like I don’t know… running them over or a knife. It deals with the problem with the added bonus of avoiding property damage. Sounds like a good idea, right?
