Should’ve made it clear to the listener that it was all fiction. The fact that there actually is a Polybius game rumor/conspiracy made me believe this was a real deep dive into it. Not cool to waste so much of my time. Also, I got really invested in the story and the people not knowing they weren’t even real. Ugh! I told some friends to listen and when I followed up to tell them it wasn’t real they all stopped listening. I wish someone had warned me.

This story has all the things you need for a perfect unsolved mystery. As a 90s child from the PNW I am here for it all!

Really found myself enthralled by the storytelling. What’s real is a mystery, but who doesn’t love a spicy mystery?

This series was amazing! I don’t know what’s real anymore

I really wanted to like this show. I tried to give it every benefit I could. I had my suspicions going into it, that it would be unsatisfying, but I was hoping that if that were true, the journey at least would be memorable. But I was wrong. This is one of those podcasts that I will no doubt completely forget about in less than a week. This whole show plays like a rough draft. The story is all over the place, with only the thinnest of threads, connecting one episode to the next. The story would certainly have benefited from a few more revisions. And then there’s the story itself. Be prepared to have absolutely none of your questions answered. I expect this to a degree, but I was hoping that some of it at least would come together. But no, it didn’t. The show asked me to go on a journey, and I really felt like we ended right where we began. The show also has a nasty habit of asking its audience questions instead of answering them. And this trend continues through until the final minutes of the final episode.

Good but fictional.

I was very much into it the first two episodes but working towards the end and by the end it just seemed like very bad acting and the drama just made it stupid and cringy. I legitimately only had 5mins left in the last episode and just cut it off cause it just seemed like some awful scripted show and the tone just felt fake. Like the drama got real too quick and it went from being informational and solid slowly decayed to just boring and stupid

Great but come on I need more
