Description

Before TRON, there was POLYBIUS.

A retro sci-fi horror fiction podcast from Children of the Neon God, based on the infamous 1981 Portland arcade legend.

Liz Faire thought she was just a substitute teacher—until a haunted arcade machine came back to finish what it started.

Analog horror, Cold War conspiracies, and buried memories.
Reboot the program. Remain for the glitch.
