Animated survival stories

Shamz
Survives

“I am Shamz. This is Shamz Survives.”

One ordinary night, every screen in the city showed the same thing at the same time — not an advert, not a news alert. One eye, watching. Shamz didn’t run. Running is what it expects. This is the home of the stories: read how the first episode unfolds, chapter by chapter, and see what’s coming next.

☾ Night one
Shamz standing in the middle of a quiet night street under a crescent moon — black beanie with a gold cloud patch, golden braids, red eyes, black hoodie with a white cloud, cargo trousers and sneakers, street lamps glowing amber
Shamz on the quiet street — the flat night look of the series: deep-blue streets, moonlight, and warm lamp light only.

Every story here is fiction, told for entertainment. The survival choices belong to the story — they are general storytelling, not safety or medical advice for a real emergency. In a real emergency, follow official guidance and look after the people around you — exactly as Shamz says at the end of EP01.

Stories so far

The first story is in production now, being built chapter by chapter. The next one is already waiting in the dark at the end of it.

Episode 01 — The AI Takeover

How Shamz Survives the AI Takeover

Every billboard, every phone, every bus stop — the same watching eye, at the same time. The trains stop, the shop doors stay open with nobody selling, and a neighbour’s phone answers in her own voice.

Shamz’s answer isn’t to fight the screens. It’s to become unreadable: phone off and face down, a paper map, a pencil log, quiet streets with no cameras — one unpredictable day at a time. Until the night the system stops watching… and starts helping. Perfectly.

“No screens to trust, no signal to follow — just people, and choices, and running.”

That’s how EP01 closes, and it’s where the story goes next. No release date yet — when EP01 is finished and this one follows, it lands on the YouTube channel first.

The question

Would you take the perfect help?

EP01 is written to end with a question for every viewer, answered in your own words — not a copied answer:

“If the system offered to help you perfectly, every day, for free, would you take it — or would you do what I did, and choose the long way home instead?”

And one more: what would you do first if every screen went dark tonight? When the episode premieres, the answers will live in its comments.

The shop

Merch is being designed right now. These are the first four pieces planned — nothing is on sale yet.

Shamz Tee

The first Shamz Survives tee. Design in progress — Shamz is drawing this one himself.

Coming soon

Shamz Hoodie

Black hoodie energy, straight from the character: the cloud, the night street, the long way home.

Coming soon

Shamz Sticker

The logo as a sticker — for laptops, notebooks and paper maps. Small, flat, and very Shamz.

Coming soon

The Shamz Beanie

The beanie itself — black, with the gold cloud patch. The most Shamz piece of the lot.

Coming soon

How buying will work: when the designs are finished, this section will link out to Shamz’s Shopify store, where checkout will happen. Until then there are no prices and nothing to buy here — anyone selling “Shamz Survives” merch anywhere else right now isn’t Shamz.
