Creature feature

I really enjoyed this little horror story . The acting, especially by the Scotsman, was above par. The creature sounds made my eyes widen , which I love ! Will follow this crew!

Decent listen, could use some improvement

I thought this was an okay little thriller mystery. Some of the acting seemed a little stiff, and some of the scenes ended abruptly as if they were either out of time or didn’t know how to do the audio. What really irked me was the inconsistency in volume. His voice was so quiet, but the ads were so loud. And in the first episodes I don’t even know what “sounds” he heard bc they were indiscernible.

That Last Episode

So this is an above average podcast with a great reveal episode at its end. I would probably have bailed if it had twenty episodes. For the time invested it’s a 4 star. I enjoyed it. And great creature sounds.
