Slowburn
Jul 19
The story is a bit of a slowburn but that’s not necessarily a bad thing here. It has a cosmic horror and body snatcher vibe. I like the format of Mia creating a podcast to explain recording her narration. Actually I think I ended up here from Lovecraft Chronicles so I would say this is like Lovecraft Chronicles for a younger audience.
Quality Podcast
02/14/2022
Somewhat remained disengaged in story arc but quality production.
Disjointed
02/06/2023
Good story if you can find it - lots of disjointed scenes, music/sound effect interludes that go on too long. Needs to be tightened up for a listening audience.
Good actors, poorly produced
01/03/2023
I thought the voice actors did wonderful but the story was lacking. It was a cool plot but it there was to much… can’t think of the word… noise? Lots of moments when you don’t know what is going on because it was poorly set up or poorly connected after the fact.
