A brilliant mind supernatural thrill ride

Warning: Spoilers
I was initially sceptical to start on this series. The title itself doesn't add any intrigue. But as I started on the first episode, I was hooked!

The premise is quite simple, playing a game of turning onto first left and right on the road. As the story develops, the seemingly harmless road travel became a thrill ride where one never know what will happen next.

The story was on high octane but just blow out of steam towards the end. There was too much going on from episode 7 onwards that I needed to re-run a couple of times to catch the detail.

I didn't like the ending and I never did for any movie and podcast to leave things hanging and left it to your imagination on what would've happened.

The cast were spot on and I love how they carried each with a personality that is 'visible'.

All things said, it was a good series and I will definitely have a re-run.

Captivating but muddled
superherolu7 February 2024
The first few episodes pulled me in, however as they went along everything became very confusing. The use of sound effects might have made things more immersive, but the podcast seemed to forget the medium it was in and expected the listener to discern a lot from similar sounding noises. There are many important plot points towards the end that are extremely confusing because the sound design doesn't indicate clearly what is happening. A lot of smushing / crashing noises sound too similar to other sound effects and you can't tell if someone is getting injured. The first time someone is majorly hurt, Alice is narrating what happened so it makes sense. This falls apart when she's more involved in the action. The voice acting is pretty good, some characters better than others. Unfortunately to get the full context, you will have to read the nosleep story. This had a lot of potential, but they should have thought about how it should sound to carry the narrative in an audio only format.
