Customer Reviews
Listen to me. You need to listen to this podcast.
At first you’re going to be confused. Why are there so many characters, and why does the story jump to so many random people all the time? But then you get invested. You realize that their stories start to interconnect. People meet, become friends, become enemies, and you get to know all of them through both their own point of view and the point of view of others. The voice acting is all done by mx. wellman but they do an incredible job differentiating between the voices, and I find myself *easily* immersed. If you’re looking for a great horror podcast to fill that void this will do the trick (and possibly open up even more voids. Who knows ;)
I love this story
This audio drama is a big comfort to me. I listen when I m going to sleep and it’s just wonderful. The world building, the characters, the sound , the general vibe , all wonderful. They all feel so Alive.
Poor acting
Monotonous, newscast-style acting kills the story. I can’t listen to a guy who only has one tone of voice, even if it’s supposed to be a spooky voice.
