The Elysium (feature)

The Elysium was the first feature exclusively published on the North West Historical Society on 27 April 2011 by the BBC and Punchdrunk to coincide with the immersive experience The Crash of the Elysium. It formed the beginning of a range of fiction published on tie-in websites as part of the viral marketing for the experience, by giving a faux-historical gallery of photographs of the titular Elysium, a steamer sunk in 1888 under mysterious circumstances.

Continuity

 * The steamer Elysium plays pivotal role in the marketing and tie-in stories for The Crash of the Elysium, however ironically, doesn't play a large role in the immersive experience itself as another Elysium, a spaceship, took narrative precedence.
