Strange and engaging audiodrama

Cryptids is a very fun and weird audio drama with fascinating twists and turns.

Doesn’t Pay off the build up

For me the ending spoiled the series. Without spoilers I’ll just say that the series feels like its building up to something bigger and while the payoff is much much better than say Borrasca, I still felt I was let down based on the earlier set up. I think for me the issue isn’t that the ending doesn’t fit or sufficiently explain things, rather it feels rushed, almost like the podcast was cancelled and they had to wrap up the story in 1-2 episodes. It could have benefited from spreading the “punch line” out over a few more episodes
