I never listened to a LitRPG or whatever they call this, but I loved it. It's basically World of Warcraft but with real people who know they're in WoW. The voice acting is phenomenal and I kept wanting to listen more to find out what was going to happen next. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Which already happens to be downloaded.

I really enjoyed this story. I've read Sawyer's "Neanderthal" books and I really like his style. I will probably get more of his works

This story was really enjoyable! Brendan Fraser was absolutely great in it! Although he did sound slightly congested, but his cadence and tone were great for his character. Luke Kirby did a great job as Dr. Haas, but the weak point, the person who consistently took me out of immersion, was Vanessa Sears as CPT Garvey. She varied between being super, super dramatic to sounding like she was laughing when she was talking, though her character wasn't actually laughing. It felt very much like she was reading a script at a table read or the am-drams versus playing a character. A few times the characters spoke by repeating an unheard question, which isn't something I've ever known a real person to do, but it wasn't too bad except for one character, and they were minimally present.

The story was great. I particularly loved Valentina Solomon and her story, as well as how the other characters treated her. The light mystery and overall story left me genuinely curious to see how it would end and I couldn't totally predict the finale. It definitely left me wanting to know more about the characters and I truly enjoyed where it ended up

All in all, a great story and one I was very glad to listen to. Just wish they had found a different person to play CPT Garvey.

I loved AYAD as a kid. I was there EVERY Saturday night for SNICK.

I remember with GREAT fondness listening to the stories of Sardo (NO Mister, accent on the "DOH"). The kid getting trapped in the pinball machine-arcade was right up my proverbial alley.

With the invention of streaming, I was able to introduce the show to my kids, who also loved it. They were young enough at the time that they even got a little freaked out and we had to go on hiatus, but now, at ten, they're back in again.

So when I found this podcast, I immediately downloaded it. We listened to it one rainy day on a short road trip to go to (of all things) a retro video game festival.

Well, we enjoyed it quite a bit. The season was short and took us the length of a drive from Salem, OR to Eugene, OR. The stories were -wildly- varied, from creepy supernatural to just...weird and off-putting. But the performances, though a bit over-the-top at times, were fitting in with the whole aesthetic of teens/pre-teens trying to scare each other with stories. The framing bit, of the kid doing his own podcast with his brother interfering, helped break a lot of the "oh my god, this is actually happening and is scary" potential, which made it a possible for even younger listeners to enjoy.

The stories themselves were fun. Imaginative, if a little derivative, but pretty much what you'd expect from the franchise if you watched as a kid, like I did. One genuinely creeped me out, one had an incredibly ridiculous ending...which became amazing after the narrator decided to present an entirely different ending! That made me and my kids laugh at how it went from shocking to hilarious. The final episode of the season was disturbing in all the right ways, and really fits the "gore-love" that my kids are in, without being actually too graphic.

All in all, an incredible series and I really hope another one is produced and distributed. Well worth the listen!

Fun story and I'm a super Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton fan. This is more like a radio play, which works well for me. The only thing that draws me back, the huge thing, is the voice actor for the main character Kate. It's a woman with a high pitched "waifu" voice...a perky anime character that's just...ear splitting. I practically cringed when she'd perform her part.

The rest is highly enjoyable. Wil Wheaton performs his usual evil perfection self and Felicia Day continues to embody excellence in a humble form. Sean Astin, London Hughes, and Neil Gaiman are excellent!

I wanted to love all of it...if it were just not for the -one- character.
