About this listen

The good news: Tom survived the apocalypse. The bad news: Earth's vending machines chose violence.

As a software developer from Texas, Tom thought he understood broken code. But when mysterious obelisks transform Earth into a glitch-riddled dungeon crawler, he discovers that debugging the apocalypse won't be as easy as turning it off and back on again. Their lifeline? Vending machines turned into miniature storefronts. These mechanical saviors dispensed everything from swords to shampoo—until they started dispensing death.

Armed with terrible luck, a knack for accidental heroics, and an ever-growing hatred for the System Admins, Tom must uncover the source of the corruption before humanity's last lifeline delivers its final blow. Between monster-filled wastelands and terrifying dungeons, survival is starting to feel like a bad DLC.

Debugging the end of the world was not in the patch notes.
