Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, ORCS! Now, our team must escape a facility where ghosts, ghouls, cryptids, and who-knows-what-else lurk around every corner. But the rescue nerds aren’t the only ones trapped in the base—and they’ll have to decide whether those others are worth saving.

Gavin grabs his friend. Hannes suits up. Ava gives an order.

CherrieSorbet created our amazing story artwork. She’s also one of our favorite people, so go and give her some virtual hugs. You can find her @cherriesorbet on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Twitch.

Eli Schneider composed our theme song, for which we are eternally grateful. If we’re ever trapped and left for dead inside a ghost jail, we’d listen to Eli’s cool tunes to pass the time.

A humongous, gargantuan, momentous thank you to Greyvoice for the use of their songs “My Apartment is a Spaceship” and “The Hole at the Center of Everything.” Listen to more of their work on Spotify and Bandcamp!
