Review of the full 3-part audio drama.
A multi-part audio drama told over three 20-plus minute instalments as part of Black Library’s Digital Horror Week 2019, this is a creepy little 40k story of the cracks that let the darkness in. For Captain Karina Arq and her crew, watch station Refuge offers a glimmer of hope when their ship, the Fortune’s Favour, is forced to suddenly drop out of the Warp. It’s not until Arq and her companions board the station, however, that they start to realise that what they thought was salvation may in fact be something entirely different…and much worse.
t’s a suitably sinister premise for a Warhammer Horror story – becalmed in the void, trapped with nowhere to go and no way out only for the slim hope of salvation to turn into fear, desperation and recrimination. Essentially a 40k variation on the haunted house trope, this is perfect for both 40k as a whole and the audio medium in particular, offering copious opportunities to make use of music and SFX to build tension and add further impact to a story seeped in the darkness of the 41st millennium.
