    Polybius Protocol - Episode 6 - "Pacify"

    A new SIGNAL is spreading.First it was audible. Then visual. Then both.Now, the Signal may be biological. When substitute teacher Liz Faire wakes up handcuffed in a hospital wing full of comatose students, fresh from her return from the VOID, she realizes Polybius has followed her into the real world. As the Mannequin King and his doppelgänger cronies tighten their grip while hunting a missing girl named Kelly Deale, Liz discovers something terrifying: The SIGNAL doesn’t affect everyone the same.Especially not her. Meanwhile, shadowy Agents of the Program, "Men in Black" armed with a metronome-based counter-signal, storm the hospital, battling Polybius for control as competing frequencies collide. Caught in the crossfire, Liz begins to understand her role in a war she doesn’t remember starting. The Polybius Protocol is a retro sci-fi audio drama blending analog horror, Cold War paranoia, dark comedy, and conspiracy myth—inspired by the 1981 Polybius arcade legend. #PolybiusProtocol #AudioDrama #SciFiPodcast #AnalogHorror #ConspiracyFiction

    Polybius Protocol - Episode 4 - "What's the Deal with Kelly Deale?"

    EPISODE 4 — “What’s the Deal with Kelly Deale?” A Portland high school physics class collapses into a mysterious coma except for two missing people: the strange transfer student Kelly Deale, and her substitute teacher (and our reluctant hero), Liz Faire. Now, Men in Black agents String and Stick interrogate the only conscious witness who might know what happened: Reagan, a chaotic Twitch streamer who is the only student at North High who actually knew Kelly Deale and the reason for the classroom slight case of unconsciousness. As the MIB crank their metronome to overdrive, reality glitches, secrets spill, and POLYBIUS surfaces once again… revealing another piece of the puzzle. This is the episode where the mystery blows wide open. If you’re new to the series, start here and give it a whirl. BTW: The Children of the Neon God apologize for the production delay. Our systems are rebooting. #PolybiusProtocol #Polybius #AnalogHorror #FictionPodcast #SciFiPodcast #HorrorPodcast #AudioDrama #LiminalSpace #BackroomsAdjacent #MIB #MenInBlack #PodcastSeries #NeonGod #Portland #AIHorror #QuantumHorror #EightiesTech #MindControl #MKUltra #Signal
