Episode 1: The Feast

Dray’s beaten crew finds the impossible: a feast where wounds heal, hunger dies. But as his men shed old selves, a disquieting warmth settles. Is this the taste of victory, or something insidious blooming under a false sun?


Episode 2: The Wake

Captain Dray drowns in a golden delusion, escaping the Scum Kings' brutal truth. But paradise tears. A wet sound, a searing agony, and Gix's bloody grin drag him back to a reality where nightmares wear teeth. Some wakes are worse than any dream.


Episode 3: The Threshold

Dray wakes to agony, trapped in a reeking abyss where the truth is pain and the past a sweet lie. His crew? Cocooned, lost to a seductive dream. Gix offers a grim choice: bite through the illusion, or be devoured whole.


Episode 4: The Butcher's Math

Gix's bloody escape teaches Dray a brutal lesson: kindness is a killer. His crew sleeps in a sweet, deadly dream. To save them, Dray must embrace the butcher's math, tearing paradise apart, no matter the cost.


Episode 5: Rude Awakening

Dray's crew dreams in cocoons, slowly drowning in bliss. To tear them back to grim reality and the stench of survival, Dray must inflict unimaginable pain. This 'Rude Awakening' is a brutal choice between agonizing life and sweet, fatal lies.

Meet the Scum Kings, a dysfunctional band of bottom-feeding marauders led by the ruthless Giddray 'Dray'. They are not clever masterminds or noble rebels. They are a pack of beaten dogs, driven by hunger and greed, whose every attempt at villainy seems to end in fresh wounds and humiliating failure.

Defeated. Desperate. Driven.
