I’ve been thinking about Mars quite a lot lately, and not just because of the recent Mars rover images that got mentioned on my podcast.

Most of humanity was destroyed, and the culture it spawned went with it. Those few who survived took a large backwards leap and resorted to other …

Welcome back to another plot seed for you to steal and use as you see fit. This one is very much a modern horror game seed, and is directly inspired by one very surreal New Years morning I spent with a small handful of very close friends.
