An illustrated survival story series
Survive With VELA
What if it happened to you? VELA walks you through surviving it.
What if it happened to you? VELA walks you through surviving it.
Each story drops you into a disaster. VELA, a small AI drone, talks you through every choice: what to do, what not to do, and how to get back on track when you get it wrong.
The disasters can be fictional. The survival skills are real, and checked against official sources. Every lesson ends in one of VELA's Rules.
An outbreak reaches your block in 6 hours. Stay, or go?
Seven days locked in your flat. The taps slow. Then the knocking starts.
Season 1, Trapped in the City, premieres 30 January 2027.
VELA stands for Virtual Emergency Life Assistant. She never blames you. She tells you the truth, then gives you a way back.
Her motto: Learn it here, so you don't suffer it out there.
Why "VELA"? Vela is Latin for "sails", and it's the name of a constellation in the southern sky that sailors once steered by. A small light to find your way home.
Every episode ends a lesson with one Rule. They'll all be collected here, so you can find them when it counts.
The first Rules arrive on 30 January 2027.
