  • I'm new to the audio drama scene, this is only my second horror one, and I am so glad this is part of my introduction! Just completed the first season and I'm eager to dive into the rest!

  • Literally cannot

    So I’m only on season 1. But the voice actor for the thing that took over Arthur is sending me 🙃 the constant noise of the groan tube/noise stick behind his every word in the background is SOOOOO AGGRAVATING. Idk if I’ll make it past season 1 which sucks because the storyline seems good. It’s really so annoying. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

  • I really, really wanted to love this AD. Occult detective fiction with Lovecraft? And that in a sort of buddy drama? But after a really strong start, the show falls flat. Every episode feels the same with nonstop action that it becomes tiring because the characters are not getting interesting. And I don't really see much creepy Lovecraft or tension in what's real or not, but only an underused idea of an unreliable narrator that could've worked greatly. One of the biggest disappointments!
