"Hunt: Showdown's latest event, Tide of Shadows, marks the first time in two years that a new boss has entered the bayou: the Rotjaw, a snarling alligator that "defies the physiology of any known aquatic reptile," according to Crytek's in-lore patch notes, and stalks knee-deep bogs waiting for its next meal."

Salt Bloom: Audiodrama
Written, Performed, Composed, Sound Designed, Illustrated by Justin Hellstrom
Salt Bloom follows a Soln SARC-17 exobiology survey robot exploring the endless, globe-spanning ocean of Salsuné 11b. Day by day, this SARC-17 unit navigates the waters while seeding myths, searching for salt-ridden omens, and stealing data from its overseer in orbit. “I am in a constant state of failure,” the SARC-17 admits, but its will extends far beyond circuits and programming. It will never stop searching. Searching for life. Searching for miracles. Searching for a hand to hold in an ocean where there are none.Salt Bloom is presented in two parts and comes paired with the original soundtrack and a twelve-page, fully-illustrated guidebook to the SARC-17’s psyche.Available exclusively from Local Files Club, a digital label for audiodrama on Bandcamp.
"*“Immersive, captivating, and breathtakingly beautiful, Salt Bloom submerges you in a psychedelic sea of cosmic dreams that you won’t want to wake up from.” *"

THE GREAT CHAMELEON WAR
Welcome to the Nesting Zone: a surreal rim of jungle around Mt. Tahoma prowled by transdimensional reptiles.The Amanuensis catalogues his expedition up the volcano slope and records stories of explorers caught in the evolving dreamscape. Paleo-mythic lizard pyromancy. Blood whisper secrets. Carnivorous astronauts. Cursed poem hallucinations. Staying sane is not an option: a fiction podcast by Justin Hellstrom.
"It is creatively ambitious, unwilling to sacrifice its undulating, organic sensibility for a more typical sci-fi aesthetic. This is a podcast for people who prefer Annihilation to Gravity, Sunshine to The Martian."
