Oddly Comforting

I know this is technically a horror podcast, but its always been a comfort. Mx. Wellman's voice and writing style fits the story perfectly. I was hooked into the story right away and quickly fell in love with the characters. The Hallowoods is a spooky place that is protective of its creations, and you (the dreamer) are free to explore it with Nickingnick there to guide you.

Wise_Kitten ,

Listen to me. You need to listen to this podcast.

At first you’re going to be confused. Why are there so many characters, and why does the story jump to so many random people all the time? But then you get invested. You realize that their stories start to interconnect. People meet, become friends, become enemies, and you get to know all of them through both their own point of view and the point of view of others. The voice acting is all done by mx. wellman but they do an incredible job differentiating between the voices, and I find myself *easily* immersed. If you’re looking for a great horror podcast to fill that void this will do the trick (and possibly open up even more voids. Who knows ;)

i might or might not be useful ,

I love this story

This audio drama is a big comfort to me. I listen when I m going to sleep and it’s just wonderful. The world building, the characters, the sound , the general vibe , all wonderful. They all feel so Alive.
