Customer Reviews
You’ll need a bath after
You’re going to walk away from the first episode feeling dirty and slightly confused. You’ll suspect there is some information; some orientation that you missed. There is a tickle in your brain that might just be because you’re not sure what you just listened to, or it might be one of the small spiders that seem to be falling from that tree has made it through your ear canal and is now burrowing it’s way through the softer tissues.
Somehow, although you’re feeling queasy, your finger, extended, moving towards the little triangle on the little computer screen you hold in your hand, the one that is placed besides the words, “Episode 2”.
“Maybe that was just excessive as a first episode; start off with a bang” you reason, “each one can’t be like that…viscus”
There is a chittering; a chattering; a nervous scratching sound from an area somewhere behind your head. Like many small legs moving across tile. Soft at first, but gaining in momentum and excitement.
Oh my dear child; how wrong you are.
Delightfully weird
If you like the Lost Cat podcast, you’ll like Eskew. Conversely, if you like Eskew, check out the Lost Cat podcast. They share DNA for sure.
F***ed up, but in a fantastic way
Very unsettling from the overall tone to the occasional unconventional gorefest. Masterfully made surreal horror from start to finish. Not a good ending, but a Good Ending™.
Serious note: a lot of the story plays out like a prolonged dissociative episode, so if your mental health may be a concern, please proceed with caution.
