What do you do when a stranger disintegrates right in front of you?
If Good Omens and Dr. Who had a baby – that is DIRE CONTACT!
Be part of the birth of Space World!
Imagine something completely unreal to happen to you. And you would ask yourself what was behind it. In most cases, you would forget about it over time.
But what if you didn't? What if you started digging? For most of your life? Even giving up on having a life?
Digging deeper and deeper - until one day it happens ... the dire contact!
From the moment eleven-year-old Steve witnesses the terrifying phenomenon, the scene is set for a mystery that will haunt him for years to come.
Fast forward two decades:
Today, Steve is a physicist struggling with the aftermath of that fateful day, determined to uncover the truth behind his inexplicable experience - even if it means risking his sanity.
Fighting against time on a case with bizarre twists and turns, FBI agent Rena is determined to stave off her termination, while Steve's best friend Cain struggles to come to terms with the complexities of his love life.
As they all wrestle with the consequences of their actions, they are forced to confront the age-old dilemma: What does it mean to do "the right thing"?
Set against the backdrop of a world unexpectedly on the brink of destruction, "DIRE CONTACT" explores the power of resilience, courage and the bonds that unite us in the face of adversity.
It is a journey into the unknown, where the familiar becomes strange and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
This brings us to the white kitten, here it plays a crucial role because ... „Cats. Cats are nice.“

You probably think you know that one ... think again.
YOU GET THE IDEA!
In the books of my favorite author Terry Pratchett, particles of inspiration float through the multiverse to meet and inspire the right mind.
I want to be one of those particles, bringing the sparkly SPACE WORLD to life and banging it on the right heads - in a polite way.
Heads ready? Right, here we go:
What is the SPACE WORLD?
It's a universe like ours, and the story begins on a planet like Earth, just a few years in the future, which - surprise - is what our future would probably be like... if it weren't for SPACE.
SPACE, that is space for possibilities, an inexhaustible source of "what if"...
... the world we live in is not the way we think it is? What if ... there is way more to everything we believe we know?
This question started the idea for SPACE WORLD - which is set to become something big. But like every big thing, it started with something small but special - in this case: DIRE CONTACT!
