No Return: An Audio Drama by Kier Zhou No Return is a darkly comic British fantasy audio drama set in a vast, doomed world of gods, mercenaries, lost cities, political disasters and very bad decisions. Each story follows flawed people trying to survive a world that is too strange, too old, and too morally messy to make sense of. Expect ensemble chaos, dense worldbuilding, absurd humour, sudden tragedy, and fantasy with teeth. Start here if you like: morally compromised heroes, big lore, strange comedy, full-cast fantasy, and stories where the joke and the wound are usually the same thing. But don’t take my word for it… This show was nominated for Best Audio Drama at the New Zealand Web Fest and officially selected for the Cisco Web Fest, which is pretty good for someone who ran out of money to apply to any more festivals!
