Robs VA is absolutely goated, I've never heard a fictional character portrayed so realistically. they must of spent most of the budget on him and Tessa then got some bums off the street for Eve and Lillith cause goddamn were their scenes painful
"I think it's time we did a second interview" CHILLS. CHILLS DUDE. Finished the episode, may have cried. When he said the woman at the corner, man i just.. wow... This is a great story, with phenomenal voice acting.
They rewrote the silent city scene badly. The people in that city don’t make any sound at all, even as they break a million windows. They can not make sounds. That is why they want the sound. Don’t be afraid to narrate what’s happening, Alice has a log for a reason.
Yeah they don't narrate a lot of things that are pretty important sadly, like Alic's severe struggle to reach bluejay's car, the way eve and apollo died is mostly audio with no description of what is actually happening
So I'm glad this series got enough attention to get a podcast and soon a show...but can we all talk about how confusing a lot of it is without the original narration? Most of the action parts are just vehicle and crashing glass noises with NO context. How did someone think this was a good idea?
I listened to the original podcast up till the tow truck crash then switched to this series. The tow truck bit made no sense in this one had I not listened to the other video I would be lost and now every action scene since I barely know whats happened. The entire sequence in the forest I still don't know what happened. Gonna go back to the original after I think.
Yeah, they tried to get around it a couple of times by having some of the characters describe what they were seeing, but that can only do so much. Not only that, but some of the narration gave the characters far more depth making their deaths all the more bittersweet. My guess? Well, apart from adapting it to a podcast, perhaps getting these actors to play the parts was expensive enough, so it might’ve inflated the budget to have Tessa narrate the whole thing. And I guess every actor needed equal screen time.
There _really_ needs to be more thorough narration provided, especially for Episodes 8 & 9. People who have never read the story before weren't even given the detail that the residents of the silent city are eerily gawking from high-rise buildings as the Jeep drives by and, lured by the sound, the residents throw themselves through their own windows, falling multiple stories like human raindrops, just to pick up their battered bodies on the road to chase after the Jeep. The actual description of the scene right before the chase is creepier than the podcast lets on.
I really like this episode, i was looking forward to the silent city scene being action packed while also being...silent, i guess. but also, wow i just got why he's called "ferryman"
I'm still confused by the intro / side storylines....it wasn't part of the 'original' version I heard on DarkSomnium. I take it the guy is some survivor from one of the trips (?) Anyways, this enactment is amazing! Thank you.
It's the guy who got her audio logs. After Alice disappeared he's trying to put everything together only to realize that no one seems to even remember her anymore. I think it's an interesting addition to the rest of the story and fits it very well.
@@rakushasu1262 - Any idea what happened between her and Rob - she brings up how they met before and he loses it. Did she go on the road before?...or maybe they're keeping that part a mystery.
@@glowingunknown5625 She emailed them to him, it's been mentioned in 2 or 3 of the episodes. Also she's saying she was the one armed figure he saw in Japan when he was younger.
I understand the narrative and character importance, but this section is so frustrating to me and I never see anyone else mention it. Spoiler: they had all the time in the world. They could have rigged a ton of small explosives and/or other noise makers in a long path away from them, then got out and pushed the car. Rob dying only serves to turn the city from a days' trip into a few minutes' trip for Alice.
@@ParadoxPanda517 in the last episode Tom starts at where Alice & group entered the tunnel, then traced the route back to Rob's house. Where the tunnel appeared, Alice somehow sent Rob back so that Tom could be there to save him.
@@ledarbyromeo9667i swear Rob just becomes what Marjorie was on the 34th turn, hes part of the game now, and since he never got closure as to Marjories fate hes the wandering soul that is now on the 34th turn
The voice actors for Alice & Rob are so fucking excellent.

Yeah I'm realizing I wouldn't know wtf was going on if I hadn't read the story myself already
Rob really makes me want to call my Dad like hes got such depth

Well, the TV show will probably fix that

I was going to comment the same thing I wish they had done the same thing they did with the edge of sleep where they narrated most things
Idk man it makes perfect sense to me
The city scene freaks me out, because I've been to this city a few times in my dreams... And all of those dreams occurred before this story existed.

Oh yeah 100% needed to be added. I was picturing some strange small animals :/ This is much creeper and I love it!

I can't wait to listen to this while having lunch!
Wow it got crazy as hell
Im literally in love with this so far
what a fantastic show
Don't make cry
A 4 hour round trip isnt insane. My daily commute is like 3hrs total
Uhh the city is meant to be silent lol
Damn I love Rob so much T^T such a chad
Why am i crying omg
I'm not crying.. you are!!😭
This is so fantastic

They expanded on the story of the person that's getting the recordings.

@@rakushasu1262 - That makes more sense, Thanks. So he fond her logs somewhere?
Still a little confused, but understanding better now.

So how exactly did Alice lost her arm?
the deer child monster thing ripped it off after she killed blue jay
Actually the Child crushed most of it irreparably. Rob had to amputate a majority of it of it at that point.

Distraction. Tom saves Rob at the end .
