Secret Level – The Outer Worlds
Goodbye Kansas had the honour of collaborating with Blur to be a part of producing a 15-minute full CG animation episode – titled The Company We Keep – for the Secret Level series – based on Obsidian’s game, The Outer Worlds 2.
The Company We Keep follows Amos, a young orphan, on his ill-fated quest to win back a lost love and witness the devastating toll it takes on him. It is a haunting tale of unreciprocated love that begs the question: Is sacrificing everything you are just to be loved back really worth it?
Secret Level Series One was Released on 10th December 2024 and can be viewed on Amazon Prime.
