The Calamity Multiverse is an ambitious science fiction project that explores the consequences of humanity's discovery of exophysics, an alternate physics system that enables interdimensional travel, unprecedented technological advances, and control over reality itself. It explores the societal hardships resulting from everything from corporate negligence to industrial disaster; how, despite everything, humanity survives, and the true cost of survival. This project aims to explore these hardships through the lens of people and institutions, telling stories about how characters experience navigating an unpredictable world with limitless possibilities.
