Send us a text Episode 7: Boss Fight In which we taste flesh, draw blood, and scream… It’s all been leading up to this. After our first episode, the wielder of the d4 died. Her ghost has been haunting our game, and now she’s out for blood. Mine, yours, the Gods’ — as much as she can drink and more. You hear it all the time in comics, that things will never be the same after this. That changes matter. That fiction has significance. We put that to the test, as the events of this episode will put the 22 Panels crew on one of 4 possible paths into the future — may those fates unchosen know peace we never will… Consider becoming a patron!
