Into the Darkness

When Hollywood keeps shoving rote plots at us, Into the Darkness provides an abundance of original work. Some players are fresh, eager to dive in and others are old hands well versed in the seventy tunes of Azathoth or magic squares. Listeners will find challenging subjects addressed and fascinating horrors faced. DONT SLEEP ON LISTENING TO THOM RUN HORROR ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS! Keepers, game masters, podcasters, players and fans have loads they can take away from the natural dialogue, many creative tangents, and unique takes that come up as plays and replays of scenarios get uploaded here. Content is regularly improved and Patreon content is well worth its value. One of the best podcasts I have to enjoy. And - it’s free without advertisements.

Been listening to this actual play show for almost 5 years on YT. It’s what got me interested in Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green. Need to catch up to the newer episodes since I moved to another state a year ago. Keep up the entertaining work!

The crew at Into the Darkness have really raised the bar over the last six months focusing on improving the audio, enhancing the story adding effects in post-production, and incorporating costume, props and green screen utilization into their content. With that much effort being put into producing a quality show, I’m excited to see what’s coming up!

I’ve pondered playing the Cthulhu RPG before as a fan of horror, and I wanted to check out some ‘casts of it. I downloaded Migration PT 1 and Castaways PT 1. Full disclosure: I’ve only listened to Castaways PT 1 so far. The horror elements haven’t ratcheted up too far yet, but it’s laying the groundwork. There are heavy humor elements, as one person is playing as Madam Cleo the psychic, so do not necessarily expect a straight played horror experience. This is a group of friends having fun. I have nothing bad to say so far. I’ll continue to listen and update my review if needed.

It would be nice if you would have the players introduce their characters. It’s hard to get into it if we know nothing about the characters. In addition it would be nice if your players actually role played. Not a lot of energy from the Keeper or his players. Too bad, because he really loved this adventure and so do I.
