Customer Reviews
Finished
I pushed through the skipping and it was sooo worth it. Great story! I really hope they make more seasons of future missions. I changed my review from 3 to 5 after finishing it…loved it!
Ep. 2 Skips are “separation”
Don’t trip on the skips. It’s in the title and if you listen to the end it’s part of the effect. Admittedly it’s a bit much but we’ll listen through and hope it smooths out.
A fun listen!
Overall a great story, well put together. I liked the method of storytelling, and the voice acting was very strong all around. It was fun to try and figure out the pieces of the mystery. Look forward to future seasons if they decide to make them.
