I'm just glad that MC still kept in touch with Miya and Sarah after everything that happened to them.. Most stories like this would end up with the characters getting alienated with each other due to trauma so this is a breath of fresh air! Thanks for this amazing story, DS. Have a great weekend! ❤️

[@andrewkubisch9225]

The government conspiracy’s are my favourite ones too. I’d love to hear more of them. As always great narration 👍🏼

[@Darksomnium]

Glad you like them!

[@braxaculee]

my personal favorite is the trafficking tunnels thread on 4chan

[@Blackstar-ti4py]

No need to conspire just listen to your governments 🤣

[@jack_the_lad_]

something I appreciate about you is you never include gagging or vomitting sounds in your narrations despite including other sound effects. As an emetophobe who loves horror (bad combo I know) it comforts me to know I'll never worry about hearing anything viscerally graphic like that when listening to your stories ❤ Keep up the great work!

[@acid_tongue_4315]

Idk man, some of the zombies/ monsters and older stores Somnium has done are rlly heavy on the wretching noises :/

[@acid_tongue_4315]

looking back at my comment I noticed the tone was kinda iffy, my bad. I meant my previous comment as a warning for if u ever wanted to look at some of Somnium's older stuff- Id say most of it doesnt have gagging, but there are a few that include some noises more along the lines of wretching and wheezing specifically

[@jack_the_lad_]

@@acid_tongue_4315 I appreciate the warning! i did learn this the hard way unfortunately watching a video from around 5 years back but I love that he keeps his more modern stuff free of that even though he doesn't have to

“It comforts me to know I’ll never hear anything viscerally graphic like that” Except for in viscerally graphic parts of the creepypastas.

[@brianchristopher8843]

​@Darksomnium I agree with op on this one, any thoughts on redoing some of your old ones? You've always been really good but you have really honed your craft this past year. I think I had seen you say that you may redo "left right game" and boy I sure hope you do.

[@SydaleeShaw]

​@@Darksomnium I volunteer The Left Right Game as first remastered story!!! Such a great story with very well tied up ending 😁👍🏽

[@jeremymontasser6182]

Leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. What you do is far beyond narration, it’s voice acting at the highest level. You should consider doing voice acting/audio book narrations if you’d be interested. I’m sure you could do well if you tried.

[@Darksomnium]

wow thank you so much! :) and yeah that would be fun!

[@SydaleeShaw]

​@@Darksomniumseriously Ronnie? You've been doing this for at least 6 and a half years because that's how long I've been listening to your videos and you haven't ever thought about being a voice actor or narrating for audible?!??! Dude get on it! I would love love love to hear you narrate Shudder Island!!!

[@spinyvegeta1]

Ahhhhhh body horror. The descriptive nature of this story is very nice! You were right, less was more. Youre easily the best narrator on KZbin.

[@Darksomnium]

Thank you very much!

[@Joshuan-cp4lg]

What a great story, I enjoy stories similar to this. The fear of the unknown is pretty terrifying. And the slow progression of the parasite or whatever creature it was made for a great build up. I am so hyped for the stories coming up by TJ Lea, the NFC is one of, if not the story, which I love the most. Your narration of it introduced me into the whole Sturgeon Mythos aswell as other great narrators like RomNex. Really looking forward for the new stories :) Also ty so much for being so consistent with the high quality videos, great work man

[@samuelgleeson8107]

Would love to see more monster/creature horror stories. I have binge listened to most of your channel and I can safely say that the stories with strange and horrify creatures of the unknown had the biggest impact. You never know what to expect. I've always found the scariest aspect of any horror story is asking yourself as the reader/listener "could I survive this, what would I do in this situation". If the answer is "don't go into the creepy haunted house" , and exercising basic common sense and self preservation, the story becomes very flat and forgettable. If I cant reasonably think of a logical way I would survive the story, it really leaves an impression and keeps you captivated. Stories like the skin walker, tall dog, most of the settlement stories. You don't know the rules of the entity and the MC of the story has no real perceivable way of knowing how to survive. The same can be said about most of the best horror movies of all time. That said, great stuff! Love your work.

I really liked this story. Any of the government sci fi themed stuff is usually my some of my favorite. One thing I do have to say is I wish the music and the sound effects were just a little louder in the mix. I often times just listen to a lot of the tracks composed for the videos and it would be awesome to see them brought out a little more no matter how minimalist or complex the soundscape is as a whole.
