About

Social Media, Steampunk-style

In a Victorian alternate history with a steam-powered internet, Count Dracula stows away on a zeppelin bound for London. One by one, passengers and crew begin disappearing. Can an intrepid journalist and the rakish captain stop the fiend before it's too late?

Airship Dracula used the interactive elements of the Fourth Wall Studios RIDES platform — synchronized emails, phones calls and text messages — to deliver interactive content of a different kind: telegrams, radio transmissions, and steampunk versions of popular social media platforms.

With an amazing voice cast including Alan Tudyk, Tammin Sursok, and Paul Sorvino, and incredible animation by director Mike Roberts.

An illustrated in-fiction social network profile page for a Victorian version of Facebook: 'The Register — For Ladies Only.' It shows the profile for the character Mme. Amelia Swansmith, described as a journalist at Threnleys Review of Mechanical Advancement, currently traveling the world in under 80 days, with a friend list and a journal entry about departing Istanbul.
An illustrated in-fiction social network feed for a Victorian version of Twitter: 'Grapheme.' The feed shows posts from accounts named Aeronaught, AOEofficial, and FlyBrittania, discussing the voyage of the zeppelin Demeter.
