The sound effects and voice acting were phenomenal, and if the story matched that it would have been 5 stars. If the story could have been as good as the premise and the sound design it might have been as great as the White Vault. It is not.

The main character is annoying and boring, and the entire plot of discovering more about each character from these "therapy" sessions just to have a tiny bit of backstory before they die, as a replacement of actually telling a story. What was the plot? What was the point? What was the theme? Could not tell you.

Each character has a random "plot twist" that sets them up to die, and while the original characters they do it too make sense they slowly just take it to the extreme for shock value instead of good storytelling (the one character going from mildly paranoid/liking conspiracy theories to suddenly believing he's one of the only real human beings alive and being monitored by everyone else was....a hard sell. And then what, the character with an eating disorder suddenly believing there's a virus with everyone else causing her to starve herself to death and destroying the radio. Once again, what was the point?). Plus, the ambiguous ending was supposed to be nice but overall it was just a letdown tbh.

It was an interesting listen but the main character going on and on about her lost love to narrating nonsense could have been cut to make the entire experience half as long and less painful to listen to.
