Oh no, so much in one episode... Quando você vê, te vê também. Quando você escuta, te escuta também. Quando você sente, te toca. Quando te chama, te toma. Quando você vê, te vê também. Quando você escuta, te escuta também. Quando você sente, te toca. Quando te chama, te toma
Not sure if I'm assuming too much here, but as a native brazilian I thought the following: Nice touch on making the Portuguese verses gender neutral, as in English. As portuguese is a "gender-heavy" language, going out of the way to make it explicitly gender neutral is quite interesting (don't know the technical term, but a language in which every noun is gendered, like chair = female, arm = male etc). The monsters (or whatever "sees you") are neither male nor female...
Hm. Narrator & much of the voice acting has the quality of a child reading their school project to the class; not terrible... in general, really lacking in natural delivery. Shame.
It would be cool if every once in a great while, a season (not necessarily of this show) ended after only two or three episodes. Like, they get some questionable nachos at the airport in Argentina and everybody dies of botulism. Or maybe an ultra-xenophobic helicopter pilot going through a rough divorce decides to take everybody down with him, etc. You're expecting all this stuff with archeology, a mountain, and all this character development stuff -- and then you get smacked in the face by everybody burning alive right in front of you halfway through the second episode, before any of that stuff even starts. I didn't say it was a great idea.

I started listening from Real Horror. Binged seasons 1 and 2 yesterday. I am so delighted with the small mention of Heilongjiang, my home province! If you ever wanted a miserable Lovecraftian ice hell experience in China that is the place to be. :) No wonder suspicious glyphs were located there as well!
We actaully have an entire mini-series set in Heilongjiang! It follows the ill fates of two Jesuits permitted to make a cartographic survey of the area and accompanied by a government official. It is set during the Qing Dynasty, and even has some of the most recent recordings of an actor speaking Manchu!
This tickles my urge for horror set in isolation just the right way. This feels a lot like the setting up in Alien (1984), or john carpenter's "The Thing".
I have misophonia that is triggered by slurping / lip smacking, so I can't actually listen to this :( But I'm leaving a like and a comment for the algorithm!
I'm seriously invested in this story and want to know more, but Nolira is so dang whiny. It gets tedious listening to her constant crying and defeatest attitude. Also, it would be exceedingly frustrating being unable to command the AI to shut the heck up about repeating that there was no medical crew every time Nolira has a medical issue.
finished season one in a day and on to season two! Real Horror was correct this is addicting 😭 i was trying to save it for my 8 hour flight next week but idk if i can wait that long!! 😂
