Neon Pharaohs & Night Beasts

In 1983's neon nights, a cassette-taped dossier surfaces: Polaroids of rust-choked automatons rising from desert ruins, alongside smeared boot prints and local eyewitness sketches of shadowed cryptids. A ragtag investigative team—an arcade technician, a conspiracy radio host, and a fringe folklorist—trace the Forgotten Robot Empire's relic-networks beneath strip-mall America. As synth-pop bleeds from diners and military satellites blink, the pursuit becomes a cold-war fable: were the mechanical pharaohs hunting creatures of folklore, or did something older program the robots to keep the wild hidden? Chronicle, file, and VHS log reveal answers you don't dare rewind.
