Customer Reviews
Good story poorly engineered
I agree with Maisy, it’s a good story but the loud rumbling, scraping and screaming makes it difficult to follow the dialogue.
Not as sold
Was looking forward to this but was disappointed, soundscapes are hardwork dropping from low to high , nice idea but the levels hurt when it hits the high notes not one for headphones . As for the story too much teenage anx for me 🤣 and a lot of repetition.
No headphones or earbuds
Good story but with the normal level sounds and dialogue followed by intense loud noise of deep bass and strident echos, you won’t have time to adjust the volume.
Listen without being plugged in.
