Popular Reviews of The Left Right Game

Started off really strong and intriguing, but halfway through, around the forest parts, became just too muddled and confusing, especially since it was hard to decipher what was happening by the sound effects. I mean, squelch squelch car crash meat sound! What was that?! Your guess is as good as mine. Honestly I liked Tom's parts the best.

----- UPDATED REVIEW BELOW ----- All of QCode's shows are expertly produced and wildly immersive and Left Right Game is no exception. Solid writing, a compelling story, great acting. I agree with other reviews, sometimes you have no idea what is happening in the story because you're given mysterious sound design and no expository dialogue to help fill in the blanks. Like their other show Borrasca, there's a framing device that's a super bummer to sit thru before you get back to Alice's story. And, like most other QCode shows, you can't question the premise too much or the logic of the story starts to fray. Just sit back and enjoy the story, it's a wonderful, wild ride. ----- UPDATE -----I originally gave this 4 stars. Would have been an easy 5-stars if care had been taken in adapting the original story from the nosleep subreddit. Much of this story is lost in translation because the producer's relied heavily on sound design over expository dialogue to help clarify visuals and explain key components of the mystery. I understand why people dislike "exposition" but goddam, it's a NPR-style podcast with a narrator, you couldn't justify explaining central plot points? If you search Left Right Game on youtube, you'll find a 6 hour reading of the original story. That's right. To get the most out of this audio drama, all you have to do is find an equally-long, second audio drama and listen to it too!It boggles the mind.

Cool concept, great soundscrape, but key parts were poorly executed. The creators apparently hope you can accurately understand things just based off sound, but there were entire sequences and occurrences that were missed because of this. For example, one characters gets a limb amputated, but you aren't really aware till characters discuss phantom limb episodes later.

Compelling, mysterious, and a little horrific. The audio production and acting is top notch, completely immersing, and the story is no different. I could see where at times it relies on sounds a little too much and it is confusing as to what is happening, but it usually clears it up if you keep listening. You can also always reference the r/nosleep post, which is where this podcast originated. So great.

Awesome audio drama! Kept me interested the entire time, great effects, great acting. Some really intense scenes that I wish I could've pictured better, could've used a little more help there. Great production and story!

Ah, I'm so conflicted about this podcast. On the one hand, the sound design and the acting is of incredibly high quality and, paired with the story and how much I enjoyed learning about the characters, that would easily earn a five-star-rating from me. That being said, I found it frustrating that, especially during the last couple of episodes, we are left to try to guess what is happening because we are only given audio clues. Personally, I also thought that the ending could have used a bit more polishing. But even so, I'd gladly recommend The Left Right Game to anyone interested; it is an engaging and short podcast that I flew through.

Awesome story and talented actors. One of my favorite podcasts.

Not complete yet, but I am on board for the journey. QCODE is putting out some solid audiodrama. The story is a good mystery to date. The audio quality is top notch and the casting solid as can be. In a world where the TV options are too many to even count, it's nice to hear something like this get the podcast treatment. I'm down for whatever they offer up in the future.

One of the better ones from Qcode.

I stumbled upon this podcast in a list of fictional podcasts and decided to give it a listen. I've spent the last two days power listening to the whole thing. Its a great listening experience, especially with headphones which I recommend. The story is interesting and intriguing. It all wraps up much better than I was expecting. Highly recommend it!

Exciting, bizarre, and at times horrifying podcast. Truly imaginative. I hope it returns for another season and doesn't leave us hanging.

With exception to the slow start one of my favorites! Already listen to twice! Some parts is more for you to use your imagination which I enjoyed!

The concept is good but the execution is horrible. Half the time you are trying to guess what in the world is happening with footsteps, squelching, groaning sounds and no clue as to what is happening. Other podcasts have done it much better. Also the preface track of the friend trying to piece it together is irritating AF and the character is extremely whiny and uninteresting.

One of my favorites, most intriguing story.

Another Qcode hit! The full sounds cape puts you right in there with the cast. The voice acting is Fantastic! This one started me on my love for all Qcode audio experiences!

Enjoyed it very much. Starts slow then is very engaging and at the end it flops a little but as a whole loved it. Sound production is fantastic and so is the acting. Some action parts are incomprehensible though, which is a shame. But cool original story, scary and chilling in parts, and entertaining overall.

I really loved the plot and the voice actors were awesome. The sound experience was great, as promised. However, near the end it was more and more complicated to understand what was going on, without description. The ending flew over my head and I had to check the internet to get it.

Intriguing, excellent production and acting.

Every once in a while this show thinks it is a little smarter than it really is, but overall it is SO damn good, so I forgive those rare moments unequivocally. Incredible audio quality and production standards, fun story, can't wait for the tv adaptation.

The story was not super creepy, which I loved. It was well-written and well-acted. As the story unfolded, I got more and more invested and binged straight through.
