An all-around enjoyable experience!

i really liked the format they did this show in. being told from the perspective of a mysterious documentarian going through the tapes and written notes of these poor souls that were trapped in this frozen hell. then, seasons 3 and 4 start to really deepen the plot and hopefully eventually get around to giving us some solid answers. i haven't gotten far into season 4 yet, but up to that point, my only complaint is the fact that the actual "aggressor" in this narrative is vague at best. they throw alot of snippets and concepts at us but nothing really solid like it was a half formed idea in the creators mind and their kina making it up as they go along trying to figure out what the story behind the mysterious ruins and citys are (and the creature itself obvi). without that information, it seems like more of a shell of a story than something whole. but i honestly dont feel like that detracted too much from the enjoyment of this podcast because i did truly enjoy listening to it (and have checked out a few more by the same creators, fool and scholar), i just feel it would make the enjoyment more satisfying and complete if i felt like this wasnt just a vague concept and more of a real live thing with history, lore and backstory. That's all im sayin...
the cast of this show was really great. they killed it and was a big part of the reason i feel i got so lost in the story. along with the editing and sound fx, it really transported me into the story. i always take my hat off to any creator that accomplishes that. also shout out to whomever created those intro tunes. for both the first part and 2nd. they were perfect fits! the first had that eerie frozen wasteland vibe and the 2nd had more of a tribal/tundra feel to it but with the same creep factor. It's really perfect for the show. really good job, people! i appreciate you putting out quality content like this, and im willing to support and give props for a job well done!
btw idk why people complain about ads in a free podcast that has some obvious production value and costs to consider. of course its guna have ads, how else do you expect the creators to continue making content if they dont have funding for voice actors and equipment and time to edit and write and create ideas. some people are so self-involved that they dont realize everyone else isn't on this planet just to entertain them....

I really enjoyed this audio drama 

I have been thoroughly enjoying this podcast.
I was very drawn in an enticed from the beginning, however, I did find the storytelling to be a little bit unclear at certain points.
Also, I would have liked a more comprehensive ending rather than this open ended ending of the story.
The acting was brilliant, the production was excellent and overall, I warmly recommend this audio drama.

Original Idea!!

This was a very good and compelling story. The mix of characters that have to figure out what is going on and how it affected each one on opposite ends of the world. Just a great story!

Season 1 & 2 were great. Season 3 very bad.

Season 1 & 2 had me hooked. I finished both season in 2 days. I was excited to start season 3. I made it through 3 episodes, and had to turn it off. I came back to it later, but i only made it a few minutes before I was so frustrated I may never listen to anything from Fool and Scholar Productions again. The main cause of my frustration was all the Spanish with no English translation. I don't speak Spanish and have no desire to learn. It felt like Season 3 episodes 1 & 2 were half Spanish, half English. This left me listening to what sounds like gibberish to me half the time, and wondering what was going on. Another part of my frustration was the background noise. I am hard of hearing so this is mostly a personal problem, but I think they could have used significantly less background noise without hurting the ambiance. I found myself rewinding and turning up the volume.

Season 1 & 2 would get 5 stars, and season 3 gets -5 stars

A little late but better than never!

late to the party. The first season was done in 2018, I didn't start the series until 2023. Can't get enough of it, the characters are well written and the actors are great!
