Released on the OrcaPlus YouTube channel, it is one of several playlist-based narratives, each with its own distinct title. The series adopts a narration-first storytelling style reminiscent of Reddit stories, brought to life with AI-generated scene-by-scene animations.

Character
In Whisperville, AI-crafted characters with a consistent visual style drive the story, each playing a pivotal role in the unfolding narrative:
June: A shy Korean high school student who, after losing his mother, moves to Whisperville with his father. He uncovers clues about a string of local disappearances and relentlessly pursues the truth.
Maria: June’s only friend at school. Compassionate and attentive, she is always ready to help those in need. She becomes June’s confidante and also the unrequited love interest of Travis.
Travis: The archetypal high school bully of Whisperville. His overt racism toward Asians amplifies June’s sense of alienation and emotional struggle.
Mark: A doctor at the Whisperville hospital and June’s neighbor across the street. Warm and dedicated, he balances his demanding work with caring for his terminally ill daughter, who is admitted to the same hospital.
Roy: A police officer in Whisperville and Jake’s partner. Stubborn and openly racist toward Asians, he often escalates the town’s tensions.
Jake: A police officer and Roy’s partner. Gentle and protective, he treats all townspeople with kindness and works earnestly to shield the community from danger.
