  • Dead Light 02: 'Scatting and Violence'
    Oct 28 2024

    In which the trio attempt to make a swift exit. Iggy's compulsion is aggravated, Vince tries to get a date, Charlie meets his match, and a new tagline for the Apocalypse Players is coined.

Interactive horror stories at their greatest.

I came here after watching Dom Allen’s stint as Keeper on No Rolls Barred, because I watched that three times and wanted more, and found a treasure trove of scary stories mixed with dry humour. The fact that they just get straight to the story and don’t spend half the podcast discussing their personal lives is an added bonus. Recommended.
