Momma look, it’s 2025 Echo! Sorry but I cannot not mention it :(
I think the material and the recipe are there. The opening swiftly hooked me into the story. While the writing is nice, I feel like sometimes it gets a tad too blunt, especially the ending with Cody. Like, that’s not a normal reaction to move on that fast. Unless it’s your intention to say that MC is 100% not right in the head.
The horror is good, but it certainly needs more variety than relying on jump scares. I feel like the whole story can benefit from more slow-soaking, unsettling horror. I guess it’s a complication that arises from having a very limited cast of characters
Nevertheless, it’s a great horror piece. Amazing work!
