Welcome back to the series of posts here at SciFi Mafia that we’re calling Web Series Wednesday where we devote a space to the wonderment of the web series. Every Wednesday we’ll cover an awesome web series and give you all the info to get into it.

Last week we caught you up on what has been happening with series we’ve previously discussed. This week we’d like to share a series that hasn’t aired yet. But Cloak is even more than a web series.
I found this gem of a trailer for this web series Cloak on Twitter and couldn’t wait to check it out. I was a little bummed that we’ll have to wait until summer (patience is not always my strong suit), but when I read their press release and all the info about viewer participation, and choose your own adventure, I couldn’t contain a post one week longer. So yes. We will have to wait for this series, but check out the press release below followed by the trailer. I’m certain it will be worth it.
Something astounding and mysterious is coming this summer.
In his new science fiction web series, CLOAK, creator/director Daniel Oron explores spectacular theories from the holographic universe to advanced lost civilizations.
In light of the release of the latest research into the idea of our universe being a hologram, as well as further questioning of what we know as ‘traditional history of our species, CLOAK couldn’t be released at a more pivotal time.
CLOAK tells the story of two technically savvy teen geeks who witness the astonishing disappearance of a prominent constellation. They set out on a journey to uncover the truth that everything they believed to be “out there” in the universe – is actually a lie. Delving into science and ancient history, exploring earth’s great mysteries from the depths of our history, our two young heroes begin to piece together an age old secret – we are in fact just an experiment being observed from beyond our perceived universe by someone or something. . But not everyone wants the secret of the universe revealed. And with our heroes on the verge of breaking through and opening a portal to the other side of “the cloak” their lives have never been in greater peril.
CLOAK is so much more than a series – it’s an experience – an adventure. The extended reality online that will accompany CLOAK will entice the viewer to participate in the characters’ adventures. Fans can gather clues, decipher codes, contribute content and ideas to the story, participate in the series, and actually affect the story and characters. CLOAK is like Explorers with a Choose Your Own Adventure option.
The Cast of CLOAK will also include established real-life experts, authors, scientists and bloggers, thus fusing the worlds of fact and fiction into a perfect amalgam of mystery and intrigue– what is real?
We cant give away the end of season one, but we can leave you with this; If our world IS indeed in a ‘box’, then who or what put us there? And what would we see if we could break beyond the CLOAK.
