Director: Tim Miller
Secret Level drops viewers into fifteen self-contained worlds, each one built from a different video game universe and told through adult animation with real emotional stakes.
What is Secret Level about?
Rather than one continuous plot, this anthology hands each episode its own cast, tone, and stakes, all pulled from beloved game franchises reimagined for the screen. One installment might follow a lone soldier grinding through an impossible mission, while the next turns to a scrappy explorer navigating a crumbling world, or a monster hunter squaring off against something far bigger than expected. The connective thread isn't a shared timeline but a shared instinct: taking the texture of a game — its rules, its dread, its absurd humor — and translating that into character-driven short fiction. Director Tim Miller assembled a rotating slate of animation studios so that each episode looks and feels distinct, matching visual style to the source material's mood rather than forcing a house look across the whole run.
Cast & crew
Because each episode is self-contained, the series leans on rotating ensembles and guest voice performers rather than a single anchoring cast, letting recognizable game worlds carry the emotional weight instead of a recurring lead.
Context & significance
Tim Miller, known for stitching together tonally varied anthology work, oversees the fifteen-episode run, with individual chapters handed to different animation houses so genre and art style shift from segment to segment — animation, fantasy, and science fiction all get room to breathe. The result plays less like a single series and more like a rotating festival lineup, where a viewer's favorite episode often comes down to which game world speaks to them personally.
Where & how to watch
Secret Level streams on K-Time with a Farsi-friendly interface built for viewers watching in Persian; the page itself is open to browse, and playback opens up once you're logged into a K-Time account. Persian dubbing and subtitles are both available for this title.
