If you’re a fascist, you’re not welcome to play this game. It’s against the rules. If you’re reading this and thinking, “You just call everyone you disagree with a fascist,” then you’re probably a fascist, or incapable of drawing inferences from context and acknowledging a dangerous political climate that causes the oppressed to be hyperbolic. Don’t play this game. Heal yourself. Grow. Learn. Watch some Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood or something.

Radio Broadcast at the End of the World is really fun! I love the premise and that you can decide for how long you want to play. Here's a play report in form of a playlist. I didn't think too much about each choice, I just picked the songs that felt right in the moment.
1. Song: "Complete" by ONF (basically an example of the regular program - it was a KPOP radio station :D )
2, Song: "Mist" by Ateez (The first caller told me that eldritch horrors end the world, which made me think of the movie The Mist and I decided to go with that rather bleak scenario, but I wanted to keep a lighthearted tone to my game so I didn't depart from the kind of songs the station would usually play).
3, Song: "Believer" by SF9 (the second caller didn't believe what is happening according to the news)
4. Song: "I can't stop" by KARD (meanwhile the government tried to shut my station down, but we managed to continue broadcasting)
5. Song: "Heaven" by Taemin (the next caller witnessed a loved one dying and told me about it on air)
6. Song: "Jealousy" by Monsta X (my nemesis, another DJ called and we didn't overcome our petty rivalry, even at the end of the world)
7. Song: "Answer" by Ateez (one of my favorite songs, a powerful anthem about overcoming fear... this was just for me since the connection to the outside world was gone by this point)
Thank you so much for sharing! This is great!
