Not to be cynical, but I'm watching the first few minutes and it seems like any other "I got a job in this sleepy location and it has WEIRD RULES??" setup.

Rules stories are, as a rule, almost always terrible

I'm on part 3 or 4 and it's fine so far but I'm not really hooked. Probably going to be a relatively forgettable episode. The setting is cozy at least, I like their comparison to a lighthouse

Kinda feels like it's trying to be a 'Tales from the Gas Station but with rules' but it's not nearly as amusing. Which I guess Tales from the Gas Station is almost a 'rules' setting where the gimmick is that the protagonist doesn't know the rules so there's nonstop problems, but at least that one had extremely entertaining writing up until the dark god was introduced

It's so fucking forced. It's like a scripted event in a video game. Wendi is such a bad actor that you never buy the setup was accidental. And when you realize they have total control over the editing, the fact Hunter can sing for like three uninterrupted minutes is just so blatant.

The only good rule story is Kishibe Rohan Millionaire Village:

Everything else has magical journos to outline the rules. People sticking with minimum wage jobs that are obviously not worth the paycheck. And by the end change into a completely different genre.

Hunter came off as a massive prick in this one. He forgets Isaiah is flying in and leaves him out to dry at the airport, which is a pretty big thing to forget, especially for someone he considers a friend. Once they finally get to the story, he stops it every 5 seconds to shit on the most mundane things in it, while his peon chuckles on cue in the background to validate his failed attempts at critical humor.
 
Mid story. Does not feel like anything higher than a 5/10, if that. At first the whole thing felt like a half-cooked attempt to copy whatever what popular on nosleep at the time—mundane vignette-style work horror in an otherwise supernatural setting, random unexplained rules, story set deep in the woods—that did get somewhat better once it moved beyond the vignettes and there came an actual mystery, and then the big reveal recontextualizing the whole narrative into something beyond whatever dumb shit the protagonists were doing to pass the time.

Fucking hated Evelyn's snarky narration. Tales from the Gas Station also had something like this, but that was clearly an attempt at comedy, it was consistent, and you pretty much accepted it after long enough. Here sounds like kind of an asshole. I'd take Daniel's goofy ass telling the story over her any day.

Also related drama.

TL:DW Gay drama. Something about a creepypasta convention that seemingly went nowhere, misusing kickstarter funds for personal stuff, and of course pedophilia. Some people involved repeatedly talked about killing the guy. Also found this webpage ((Arr) talking about it.
