  • Summary

  • A gripping psychological thriller starring Cole Sprouse as Sam Walker.

After leaving the audience with a jaw dropping cliffhanger, we are finally returning to Sam and the terrible truths of Drisking. Across seven episode of Season 2, a ghost of Sam’s past arrives to drag him back to Drisking for revenge. Back to the forests that color his nightmares. Back to the mysteries he never solved.

Incredible (Hoping for a season 2)

I found QCODE originally through Markiplier, and I’m glad I decided to check out their podcasts. There are very few Audio-dramas on radio or in the works.

I highly recommend Borrasca if have some time to kill. Having a fresh story told in this way is not only nostalgic for me, but makes me excited for what QCODE releases next!
However, a majority of their stories are left somewhat open ended to make room for future installments. Installments that I’m not too optimistic will be released anytime soon

(Blackout: season one came out around 2016-18 ish and is only now getting a second season in 2022).

I loved it but there were a few parts where there would be no sound for an action being depicted. There was a moment where no water splash played and was followed by a character complaining about getting wet.
You could figure out what way going on from context clues but it’s those little details that made this less immersive for me.

There were a few other scenes where I felt like the sound in the background didn’t match the environment like when the protagonists were talking in a middle school lunch room. Instead, it sounded like a daycare because the laughs and murmurs were coming from people with less developed voices.

Nit picking aside, if you like audio dramas, you’ll likely enjoy this too!

Love the story!!

I won’t add spoilers, I’ll just say that Cole gives an excellent performance as Sam. The story has very interesting turns and twists. I didn’t see the ending coming. I’m glad there is a season 2.

Truly Creepy!

Enjoyed the actor performances, but must warn that it went from "creepy pasta" scary to a very gritty, adult, action-thriller. Would recommend - with trigger warnings.

damned good

this is definitely something different and the acting was awesome.
Cole Sprouse really shows a different side of himself being capable of performing as an actor and producer
