4.6 out of 5 stars (based on 16 reviews)
really enjoyed it! very atmospheric and great narration from the actor. was easy to follow and I liked that my choices really paid off (no spoilers). it did feel like more needed to be explained at the end but I hope that means we get another chapter in the story!
I really liked the vibe of this story. The writing was strong, and the actions were clearly and effectively described. I also enjoyed the dialogue. It was easy to distinguish each character’s voice. The narrator also really brought this story to life. Overall, a really enjoyable listen.
The story is atmospheric and suspenseful, ramping up tension until it reaches its peak in an intense action sequence. The writing and voice acting are solid, and the sound effects increase immersion. I also liked that one of the choices I made early paid off in a major way later on.
However, the story felt incomplete. I reached a good ending, but the mystery remained unsolved. There was no explanation as to what happened and why. I think the story would really benefit either from a few additional scenes where the player learned the truth or from another episode where they could investigate the mystery.
The combination of horror with a western setting is quite curious and set up in a very intriguing manner. The writing and voice-acting depicted the scenes in a suspenseful and intriguing way, hooking the player from start to finish.
The story was really exciting and had me guessing from beginning to end! The surroundings and the protagonists feelings were layed out really well and the Narrator also hightened the experience further through the way he reads through the story and controlls the pacing.
