Welcome to the Great Wall of China — not the one in the travel brochures, but the real one. The one built with blood, bone, and bureaucratic indifference. In this slow, grim, and darkly educational bedtime video, you’ll live the life of a forgotten laborer conscripted to the Empire’s most ambitious mass grave. You’re not a hero. You’re not a builder. You’re just one more body in the mortar.

Through vivid, haunting narration and historical realism, we explore what it actually meant to construct the wall — the starvation, the disease, the beatings, the erasure of identity, and the quiet, unspectacular death that awaited most. If you’re looking for a calm, slow-paced journey into despair (with a bit of dry humor and no false hope), you’ve come to the right place.

Step inside one of the darkest and least-discussed corners of World War II history. In this immersive, slow-paced sleep video, we walk through the harrowing experience of a prisoner in Unit 731 — Japan’s covert biological warfare and human experimentation program. Told in a calm, second-person narrative with dry, unsettling detail, this is not just a story — it’s a descent into a system where science was weaponized, and suffering was measured in data points.

From the frozen train ride to Pingfang, to vivisections without anesthesia, to the lies that buried the truth after the war, this video explores how cruelty was institutionalized — and how the world chose to look away.
