Perfectly okay story, not super memorable. Nice Charley moments, especially her being pissed that Doctor is going to nobly offer himself up as a sacrifice out of guilt, which would leave her in 1)outer space 2)in the future 3)with people she's just met. The Doctor's mistake with lighting up the artificial suns ends up not being a mistake in the end, which felt like cop out, plotwise. And the Cimmerians were pretty chill about it anyways; the Doctor is like 'I'm ready for punishment :(' and they are 'oh, no, it's okay man, we all make mistakes :)'. Overall, the beginning of the story was great and scary (big fan of the Cimmerian's little whisper-y voices), but it got boring the longer it went on. ROSM was nice! The others were meh.

I really love this one, admittedly it’s been a while since I listen to that one, but I remember it quite well. I adore the atmosphere presented here, and I am surprised how graphic it became (just the Parts with their Eyes does give me a bit of an unease, when I first listen to it).
I think this Story gets a bit weaker around the end, perhaps the first two are just SO good, compared to those, the other two feel a little less, I suppose? Yet another one that uses the Audio Medium so well, some may say it even embrace it. The Performances are all well done, and I like how claustrophobic it all felt. India was probably the standout here. Overall excellent.

The only way to listen to this is during a black out otherwise the effect isn’t as strong I fear

I just loved this audio.  Easily my favourite Nicolas Briggs script I've encountered so far.  I love the sense of atmosphere and dread Embrace the Darkness carefully builds up over the course of the story.  I also really like how it turns out nobody is really all that villainous in the story - the dark beings and sun aliens all are just trying to exist and it is really touching when the two beings are reunited at the end of the story.

Eh, it's fine. You won't be bored, you won't be amazed either. This is a perfectly fine 2.5/5 story. The concept of a blind race is interesting on paper, but they don't do much with it besides the occasional minor gimmick. A story based solely on building the communication with someone who has no concept of eyesight would be more interesting but we have what we have.
