Open Archive❓ Frequently Asked Questions About the Archive
Everything you need to know regarding the classification, sources, and reading order of the collections at Relatando.com.
✦ What is the difference between a Master Pillar and an individual tale?
Master Pillars are exhaustive, single-topic compilations grouping between 8 and 15 verified chronicles and files around a specific theme (routes, bestiaries, sanatoriums), whereas individual tales are deep, standalone narratives paired with immersive soundscapes.
✦ In what order is it recommended to explore the Thematic Grimoire?
There is no strict linear order. If you seek experiences of terrestrial isolation, we recommend beginning with the Master Pillars of Highways and Nocturnal Trades. If you prefer occult mythology and cryptozoology, explore the Universal Bestiary and the Spanish Dark Folklore.
✦ Are these stories based on real testimonies or events?
The vast majority of the files documented on Relatando are grounded in real testimonies from night watchmen, truck drivers, medical personnel, oral folklore, and historical archive documents, adapted with an immersive narrative treatment.
✦ How frequently are new collections added to the catalog?
The archive is periodically updated by our editorial team alongside real cases received through the official Relatando.com Testimony Drop-box.
