  • Excellent

    This is the best voice acting I’ve heard on a podcast/spooky audio drama of this kind. It’s excellent and all the main characters were likable. The story was interesting but left me wanting more. The ending was satisfying, but more info on why everything happened would be wonderful. I’d read this as a book or watch it as a film. I’m surprised i didn’t find it sooner -this is high quality work. It feels finished but I’d love a season 2! Highly recommend this podcast!

  • Good but drags

    This show has a great premise, and fantastic production (tho the dialogue volume often drops out to simulate found footage, but it’s practically inaudible even with noise canceling headphones).

    The acting is quite good as well. However, the plot begins to drag after episode 7, and the tension unravels over time. A shame.
