Great Stories and Sound Design

This collection of original stories is really cool to listen to! They're very immersive and their sound design and effects are a big standout for me. Their stories are also quite gripping. My only critique is that some of their voice actors can be monotone and stilted in their delivery, but they do seem to be getting better in more recent episodes! Once they have some more practice as an ensemble, I could see this being one of the premier audio-dramas.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
