Salvage

Salvage is an Apocalyptic Dystopian Horror-Comedy Actual-Play Podcast about travelers lost in a labyrinthine, ever-shifting, never-ending city. It’s trippy gross transhumanist horror meets bright culture-rich colourful post-post-cyberpunk. It is also primarily about 3 people who fall down a hole and have a very very bad time.
