Follow three young adventurers as they travel into the unknown West! New episodes air the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of every month! The Westward Eye is a gothic horror audio drama created by Mar Smith.

Here, in the humble town of Gila, five westerners gather in the rather run-down Holy Water Saloon to accept a perilous quest. “ The Westward Eye Stranding is a D&D campaign set to be a CANON prequel to the events of TWE (that may or may not impact the actual story leading into our 2nd and 3rd seasons 👀) It is a project that has been months in the works from the creation, playing process, editing, etc. and we are so proud to finally share it with you all!  This series is certainly going to be much less structured than our official episodes as our cast for TWE explores this story in real time. So please excuse any audio quality changes, pauses, or what not!  Enjoy what you hear? Well, consider joining our Patreon for only a minimum of $5 a month (that’s one coffee!!) to get exclusive access to the entire season when it drops!   [ We are still in the process of getting it officially up and running but once we do it’ll be linked down below. ]  More information on that to come soon! Beyond TWE Stranding’s full season, we have SO much exciting bonus content planned for all who join and we are buzzing with excitement to share it!
