It sounds like they wanted to do a creepypasta "They probably died!" sort of ending. But then chickened out with the possibility that they hooked up in case that's too dark? Weird lol

Seriously, it would have been far better if they just said that they went to Geneva and then the producer cuts in and says this recording was found in her apartment and they've had no contact since.

The beginning of the black tapes was incredible. It kept getting worse and the ending is just dumb. I read some stuff about it a while ago, but apparently one of the show runners just got tired of it and wanted to work on a new podcast.

I think the insistence on it not being fiction but instead a real podcast that they were putting out about real events fucked with it a bit. You can't ever have any real stakes because they wouldn't publish a recording where the main character gets murdered.

I listened to this one because I read that The Magnus Archive was somewhat inspired by it, but holy shit, this was garbage after the greatness that was TMA.
