Pretty darn good…

Once I got into it, listened all the way through…. A few good plot twists, some more obvious, some not so much. Voice acting and dialogue were top notch, had me laughing more than once. Great production too.

Definitely worth a try…

Super fun with some recognizable

Make a season 2!

Great way to begin the Halloween season. Wish they had made a season 2 or even another podcast. Sadly, it doesn’t look like they have so far…

Great Story despite audio issues

Great story. The background vocals were often hard to hear and the transition music was overly loud. But the storyline was very interesting and kept me riveted. The characters were very well developed.
