- William Shakespeare
IT'S TIME TO BELIEVE IN MONSTERS
A dark and twisted version of our world where the supernatural exists just below the surface. Vampires, magical folk, and other beings exist in a constant struggle for power and influence. Through sinister cabals and insatiable corporate empires these creatures hold sway over human society.
Ordinary people live in blissful ignorance of the dark forces at work around them. Follow these supernatural beings through a grim dystopian atmosphere filled with gothic horror and a tangled web of morality where peril lurks around every corner.
THE MAN BEHIND HARROWED WORLD
Meet Alex Burton, the creative mastermind behind Harrowed World. His love for storytelling led him to begin creating the setting in 2013, which he has been tirelessly developing ever since. Harrowed World is an ever-expanding and immersive setting, constantly breathing with life and enriched with new levels of detail.
Growing up in the UK, Alex's surroundings and experiences have heavily influenced his storytelling. While he plans to take readers on adventures all over the world and he strives to tell stories that resonate with people worldwide, he remains unapologetically true to his roots.
With a computing degree under his belt, he founded Pennyvale Media, a multi-faceted publisher to release books and other content.
In late 2022, Alex embarked on an exciting new venture, his first ever video game, under the working title Project Nightowl. This project is just the latest example of his passion for storytelling and his willingness to experiment with different mediums.
Known for his eccentric and creative personality, Alex brings a unique perspective that makes his work unique.
PENNYVALE MEDIA
Pennyvale Media was founded in the United Kingdom primarily to act as publisher of Harrowed World works by its creator Alex Burton. In 2022, Pennyvale Media would begin developing the vampire RPG ‘Harrowed World: Portents In Red’, then under the working title ‘Project Nightowl’. Work on the RPG continues in the background while the focus remains on other projects.
In late 2023, Pennyvale Media began work on ‘Harrowed World: What’s Past Is Portents’, the dark gothic vampire visual novel, as a precursor to ‘Harrowed World: Portents In Red’. It was quickly decided that the visual novel would consist of several shorter narratives featuring distinct characters and locations rather than one long tale, with each story focusing on a single prominent character that would feature in the RPG.
The focus of Pennyvale Media has always been creating unforgettable stories, with video games serving as a unique avenue for storytelling with its own distinct challenges and rewards
