S1E24 - SEVERED Origins - "The Backrooms" & "The Stanley Parable"

WELCOME BACK FOR MORE "ORIGINS", REFINER!! We've got some fun planned for today. Maybe not as exciting as an Egg Bar...but still a good time. The "Severed: Origins" series is taking a look at a couple of oddball inspirations cited by Dan Erickson as he was creating 'Severance.' This week, we're looking at a video game...and something called an internet "creepypasta." Don't worry if you're not familiar with either of those things. You will be brought up to speed. So if you're ready Refiner...it's time to hit 'play' on more "Origins." Huge thanks to Adam Scott, star of 'Severance' and host of the Severance Podcast for recording a custom intro for "Severed."
