Not sure how I found this but glad I did! The story immediately hooks you and being a huge fan of isolation horror this is all me. Great listen!
I took a listen to this podcast on recommendation by Scott Sigler, whom I am a huge fan of. And he was right this podcast is fully immersive and leaves me wanting the next season! I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone who enjoys good horror stories.
This podcast got me into listening to more horror podcasts, and it is still the best I’ve heard. The first season of this will hook you until you’re seasons deep in the tales of the tower and dark dice
I have listened to all seven seasons three times over about a year. The fact that this podcast is written by one person and that the team producing it is just two people is insane. The quality of this indie podcast is higher than most studio funded podcasts. The sound design is genius, it’s completely immersive, you feel like you’re there with the characters as the story unfolds. The horror is creative, unique, and genuinely terrifying. Beyond that, this show has some really realistic relationships, and there’s a lot of moral ambiguity that makes the storyline interesting as you try to decide who and what to root for- nothing is as it seems. Goshawk is my favorite arc so far, it’s AMAZING. I listened in one day and the suspense was so good I was driving with my knuckles clenched hard on the steering wheel, heart in my throat. The voice acting is across the board stellar, and I love how they use international actors and include a lot of foreign language in the show. It adds to the ambiance and also adds a layer of authenticity to the storyline. And this isn’t easy voice acting- these actors have to convince us they’re in a desolate arctic research station fighting for their lives, or dragging themselves half dead down a mountain in Patagonia, or running through bare snow with a broken foot. It’s just so real. The dialogue is incredibly natural to the point where it just feels like listening I. To a conversation, not like it’s scripted. Also, the level of research that went into this and the accuracy of the little details really stands out. This is one of my top five all time favorite podcasts, and I listen to podcasts every single day, so I go through quite a lot. The found footage aspect is also very cool and adds to the atmosphere, and I love how the recording quality is affected based on the decide it was supposedly recorded on. To the creators: you’ve made something really, really special. Thank you for sharing this with the world, it’s a story that deserves to be told and shared and binged and then listened to again and again.
I started this today. On season 2 now. But, the “Spanish” is really making me not want to keep listening. This is coming from someone that is Mexican and can speak both languages. It feels forced. The accent is way off, it sounds more Italian than Mexico City Spanish. I say that because one of the creators of this podcast was trying to go for that style of Spanish. It’s not even close. I get what they are going for but it really falls short. I like that they are trying to incorporate different languages into it but it just doesn’t flow. I am very interested in the world they are trying to build but the language stuff is just not doing it for me. Every time Rosa “tries” to speak Spanish and then follows it up with English makes me say, why? She can clearly speak great English. I don’t know. I’m going to try and finish it because I am interested in the story and the world but… we’ll see how far I can get.
