Rude Awakening

Spit from the black, the Scum Kings cling to a splintered raft, kingdom lost, gold drowned. With one less among them, the bitter arithmetic of survival leaves a stripped-bare crew facing an endless sea. What remains is a raw fight for every breath.

Drifting Into the Uknown on Another Raft

Dray bleeds, hunted by a chitinous tide across treacherous shores. With the monstrous brood at his heels, he races toward his desperate crew, one last impossible gamble to build an escape or be devoured. The scramble for survival is relentless.

The Race

Captain Dray bears a terrible burden through a living tomb. But the true horror isn't the dead, or the creatures that nest among them. It’s what wears his fallen friend’s face, a monstrous host whose awakening ensures a desperate, screaming fight for survival.
