A young Chris Cwej, fresh out of an experimental time travel surgery, has been transported with his alien co-worker Tyron to a planet with deadly monsters and a single human woman. The robotic Captain of the INITEC vessel the Gold Reserve, along with his crew, are tracking the course of a massive Universe-wide disaster in the making.

If you've been looking for a new scifi series from a lot of small creators with a lot of passion, Cwej is for you :D

*pronounciation I am working on, as I mentally read the name Cwej as rhyming with "wedge" like "swedge" but I have heard at least one person say it is more correctly pronounced as "Shway" or "Shvey"?? Deep DWEU lore fans please give me an audio recording of how you pronounce this man's last name
