Darkwards Drifter is a free weekly voiced series set in the Emergence 2028 universe.
Set in the fractured outskirts of Los Angeles, it follows Sid Severin, a scavie trying to survive the Dregsprawl while staying one step ahead of debt, violence, and the pull of the quarantined zones known as the Darkwards.
These sealed districts have swallowed entire scav crews and reporter teams over the years. Whatever still moves behind their concrete walls isn't fully understood.
New episodes, original pixelpunk artwork, and expanded world lore are released weekly through Patreon, building toward the upcoming feature film.
A new transmission is live.
Field audio and recovered material from the Darkwards are now accessible. Not all data is public.

Start the Story
The gritty outer districts of Los Angeles. Haze drifting through narrow alleys, scav crews moving between cheap food stalls, gang territories marked by fading signs, and the sound of retro-tech holding on by luck. Survival here is a day-to-day argument with fate.
Five immense quarantined zones sealed behind towering concrete walls. Reports of movement and shaped shadows have circulated for years. Whatever still operates inside these zones is not fully understood.
Sid’s reclamation vehicle. A home, a lifeline, and sometimes a fortress on wheels. It carries him across the fractured districts and keeps him alive when nothing else does, provided the hydraulics do not fail first.
