A digital black and white illustration of a cityscape with skyscrapers. In the foreground, there is a radio tower emitting signals, with circular wave patterns radiating outward. The entire scene is framed by concentric circles and horizontal lines, giving a futuristic or technological appearance.

WHO WE ARE

Dead Signal Archive is a fragmented transmedia mythology disguised as an art project, where fiction, political hauntology, street glyphs, degraded transmissions, manifestos, poetry, performance art, and recovered media blur into a living archive documenting the psychological collapse of late American empire.

Dark, ominous postapocolyptic Dayton, Ohio city skyline at night with tall buildings and a bridge over a river, under heavy smoke-filled clouds.

Hero Picks Adventures

Cartoon dwarf with red beard and helmet, holding an axe, standing in a mountainous landscape with a wooden bridge in the background, under a yellow sky with clouds and a full moon.

HERO PICKS ADVENTURES is an expanding anthology of interactive fantasy worlds built around fast-paced decision making, atmospheric storytelling, and replayable adventures. Combining tabletop-inspired mechanics with minimalist game design, the project explores the idea of mythic heroes trapped inside strange, dangerous, and often collapsing worlds. Its first active title, Dwarf Picks, places players in the role of a treasure-seeking dwarf navigating branching encounters, ancient shrines, monsters, relics, and impossible choices across a fantasy landscape. Designed as both a playable experience and a growing narrative universe, HERO PICKS ADVENTURES serves as the interactive wing of the Dead Signal Archive.
