Absolutely awful
Bad story terrible sound editing difficult to hear most of the time and the story is just pure torture.

This story is very chaotic and I could not finish it.
I was pretty excited to get an "experience" but all of the noises made it difficult to tell who was speaking characterwise and it was just very difficult to follow. I like the idea of this being a show, and visually watching this unfold would probably be a lot easier.

I enjoyed this for what it was. An escape. Some things were hokey, but sometimes that goes with the territory.

I have literally no idea what the ever-living f was going on in this book. It made no sense and had no storyline as far as I could discern (other than "purple means evil omg"). Seriously. It's like this was written by AI - it makes no sense.

DNF with 1 hour & 50 minutes left. This story was okay. I had a hard time following it because I was listening while driving, and the sound levels are very up and down. The parts where the performers were talking quietly/whispering were far too quiet, and the action sequences were crazy loud in comparison. I couldn't find a comfortable listening volume. Besides the sound issues, the characters felt flat, and I wasn't invested in the plot. The monsters were unique, and I liked the action sequences.

This was free from audible and I was instantly hooked. Incredible story, voice narration was amazing and they use sound effects to make it more real. It felt as though I was actually there!

I cannot deny I had fun listening to this audio drama. The monsters were fun, the main characters were good. Although I will say it screamed YA all the way through, which made the overall story suffer. It had more potential than it was able to bring forth. The performers were great for the roles they read. If you don't mind the YA touches, want a little paranormal fun, take a listen.

The thing about this is, that the premise is decent and could have been a good story, but the execution was not ideal.

This is just like the old radio shows and that's awesome! I do wish that I had some more background knowledge of the creatures and stuff they're going against in the first place, but without some kind of connection book or something, that's kind of impossible. Awesome story!
