![]() ![]() What could have been a fun little podcast gets stretched over multiple seasons and overstays its welcome. For this reason, the story is drawn out far too long. As a listener, I kept saying, "I get it! We have enough information, let's move on!" But the characters don't stop, so lots of information is repeated several times. Other frustrating character actions are, when the mystery has sufficiently been resolved, the characters keep researching and investigating. ![]() Moments that make the listener roll their eyes. They do actions that conveniently serve the story but they are actions people wouldn't do in real life (such as going along with a spooky ritual that they know will end badly.) And there are other implausible writing elements that serve the story in an unrealistic way, such as correctly guessing two passwords in a row when trying to hack into a computer. Unfortunately, the writing brings the show down. A girl inherets a spooky house, and through their exploration, we find out there's some weird stuff inside. This podcast has great production and a great concept. I'm at episode 14, which is season 2, and I'm not sure I want to keep going. Although, I will say that the staticky noises over some of the characters’ voices does become annoying after a while however, you’ll find that the noises are an important part to the story, so it’s bearable to that extent. This doesn’t do that, though, and I really appreciate it. I swear, some of these podcasters think that the more you try to jam into dialogues/monologues (from the overuse of imagery to unnecessary sound effects and painfully slow narration) to make up for the lack of a screen. Aside from that, I also really appreciate the original backstory and the clear, straight-to-the point narration. This podcast gets unexpectedly weird and spooky with voices you probably wouldn’t want to carry over into your dreams. I probably wouldn’t recommend listening to this in bed if you get spooked easily or have nightmares, though. ![]() Plus, it’s easy to listen to which makes it great for bedtime when you’re only half listening but don’t want to miss out on any important details. Not a super sophisticated plot at first, but just when you think it’s going to turn out predictable, it completely shatters any predictions you might have had. ![]()
