KARST-9 — A New Chapter for Ambient Outpost

Introducing KARST-9, the first immersive mystery experience from Ambient Outpost.

November 1987. Deep inside a secret underground facility, maintenance operator Elias Voss begins investigating the disappearance of his predecessor. What starts as a routine assignment gradually reveals troubling inconsistencies in the records and operations of KARST-9.

Combining an illustrated mystery with animated environments, original dark ambient music and atmospheric soundscapes, KARST-9 brings storytelling and ambience together in a standalone experience for Windows and Mac.

EXPLORE THE WORLD OF KARST-9

• 96-page illustrated mystery: Read Elias Voss's field journal directly within the atmospheric experience.

• Three animated environments: Spend time in the Monitoring Room, Lower Transit and Ventilation Tunnel.

• Original music and ambience: Adjust both independently to create your preferred atmosphere.

• More than a reading experience: Leave the environments running while working, reading, relaxing or falling asleep, with an optional sleep timer.

• Standalone illustrated journal: A separate PDF edition in light and dark versions is included.

KARST-9 — Archive 001 is available now in the shop!

AMBIENCE SOUNDS — Experience the Outpost Without Music

I get many requests for videos without music, from listeners who want to hear the pure ambience behind the worlds of Ambient Outpost. I rarely release those versions on YouTube, so I’ve put together something for you.

The first AMBIENCE SOUNDS collection is now available in the shop — 60 minutes of pure environmental ambience per release. No music, just atmosphere. I’ll keep expanding the collection over time.

You’ll find a preview video on the collection page:

Thank you for supporting my work and keeping the Outpost running. 🖤

New Content Is Live + Updated Membership Perks

Hey everyone,

I’ve just added new content to the membership area, including fresh Live Wallpapers and Soundtracks.

I’ve also made a few adjustments to the membership tiers. Nothing has been taken away — I simply wanted to give a little more to each tier and make the differences between them clearer. The higher the access level, the more new wallpapers and soundtracks you’ll receive each month.

New membership content will be available exclusively to members for four weeks before moving to the regular AO Shop.

The latest additions are live now.

Thanks as always for your support, making it possible for me to keep creating these worlds.
