Step inside the forbidden walls of the Mughal harem — where beauty was currency, silence was survival, and freedom was an illusion.
In this immersive, darkly poetic journey, you are not a princess or a courtesan. You are property. Trained, adorned, observed, and forgotten — all within the velvet-draped cage of one of history’s most secretive and oppressive institutions.

From the moment you're sold to the palace, to the slow erosion of your identity behind carved screens and scented corridors, this video traces the brutal, intimate realities of life inside the zenana. Based on real historical structures and court customs, this second-person narrative pulls you deep into the silk-lined claustrophobia of a world built to contain, control, and erase.

Step inside the Forbidden City — not as an emperor, but as the most overlooked figure in imperial history.
This immersive sleep video guides you through the brutal, quietly haunting life of a eunuch in Imperial China. From the moment of castration to the politics of silence, from whispered conspiracies to a forgotten burial, you’ll experience the palace through the eyes of someone who served it completely—and was erased just as thoroughly.

Told in a calm, darkly reflective voice, this second-person narrative blends history, atmosphere, and uncomfortable truths.
Perfect for falling asleep, staying asleep, or simply understanding a chapter of history rarely spoken aloud.

Tonight, you’re not just hearing history — you’re living it.
Step into the cracked boots of a woman accused of witchcraft in 1600s Europe — a time when paranoia burned hotter than reason and justice was mostly performance with a body count. From whispered rumors to show trials, sleep deprivation to the executioner’s blade, this is what it actually meant to be called a witch — whether you were one or not.

Told in immersive second-person narration, this slow, darkly dry bedtime story pulls you through the entire ordeal: the gossip, the torture, the confession, the names you’re forced to give — and the final walk to the scaffold.
