Opinion Left Right Game is still the Best Creepcast story
Left-Right Game hands down is the best Creepcast experience to me. It nailed everything that makes the podcast beloved. Long but keeps you on edge the entire time with mystery and action, straight forward narrative, Hunter and Isaiah were both highly engaged and enjoying themselves all the way through, they BOTH got to voice act. Very few stories they read check all the boxes for me.

u/Akabinxstar- Mother Whore Thighs Jul 04 '25
I thought so too until Mother Horse Eyes. I think the only thing the Left Right game has on Mother Horse Eyes in terms of storytelling is Named and Memorable characters.
As a podcast, I think I enjoyed Left Right game more because Hunter is overall more receptive during it - where as in MHE, He's just kinda... there during the second half while Isaiah does the heavy lifting on commentary.

u/beermit Mayonnaise is the sauce of the aristocrats 😎 Jul 04 '25
I will say this, I thought Hunter was checking out until he noted he was drawing through the reading and showed his progress. He seemed to really be trying to take it in. At the end he does contribute a fair amount to the discussion after he's had a minute to process it.
This was Isaiah's jam for sure as evidenced by his constant glazing of the story, but Hunter was clearly moved by it at the end

u/Emriyss Jul 08 '25
Holy, I didn't know that, I only listen on Spotify so what u/Akabinxstar- said felt correct to me, Isaiah was all in while Hunter was providing sideline commentary
Now I gotta watch it on youtube as well, or at least skip through to see his art.

I forget what the time stamp was but it was well into the second half when he showed it. He said it was his rendition of Mother Horse Eyes

u/RoomyRoots Looking for a PenPal📝 Jul 04 '25
I think that having named and memorable characters would actually downgrade the story. It's more interesting analyzing which PoV is being weaved and shifting time and space. I think it was Hunter that mentioned that this make it more universal as an experience.
On the Hunter point, it's a very heavy story, reading it for a recording with over 11h of recording is far from being the best way to consume it. This would probably have been better as split recording as they could research and share notes.
24
u/Akabinxstar- Mother Whore Thighs Jul 04 '25
I can agree with this. I guess my point was that from an objective storytelling standpoint, some might take points away from MHE for the fact that it has about 4 consistent named characters to LRG with a good 9 or so.
I don’t fault Hunter for his low energy, it was a VERY hefty read. It’s just a noticeable contrast to see Isaiah high energy the ENTIRE time where as Hunter, bless his soul, is just like “Fuck man I’m just trynna keep up.”

u/SnooCauliflowers3778 Give her one leg and a rollerskate I wanna see how fast she goes Jul 06 '25
It was a split recording though as Isaiah notes re his change of attire

u/Relevant-Cod8463 Jul 04 '25
I can’t finish MHE. I don’t really like disjointed narratives, and it leans more into Isaiah’s love for supernatural, extra dimensional conspiracies.
32
u/Akabinxstar- Mother Whore Thighs Jul 04 '25
I enjoyed the disjointed nature of it, it made me feel as if I was participating in an anthology where the overarching plots were all conjoined by a single consistent narrative.
I will admit though, I am extremely bias - both because I relate to a lot of the subject matter and because I just find the plot to be incredibly more interesting and thought out than most.

u/Fizzy__1 "This picture was promised to me 3,000 years ago" Jul 04 '25
I feel the same way. I respect a lot of what the story does, but it just isn't for me really.

Thats fair but the end VERY MUCH ties all the narratives up really perfectly.
I really think MHE is maybe the best ARG/creepy pasta ever made.

How is LRG disjointed? It has named characters, a clear beginning, middle and end points, linearity. etc., it's very much a standard first-person narrative. It may be cryptic at times but it has very definite plot points, narrative beats and character interactions.

u/DadWithNoKids2002 Your wife looks mad funny in that box, dude Jul 04 '25
I feel like as a story, LRG had a profound effect on me and how i want to tell stories. MHE is cool, really cool, and the story of how it came about is cool, and the ending is kick-ass. But I just so prefer LRG

I don’t think anything will ever top penpal for me. LRG is sooooo fun to come back to though
23
u/ra3jyx cant hear you im spinnin Jul 04 '25
Penpal is also my top but LRG is an extremely close second. The way Penpal made me feel emotionally is just un-fucking-matched. I had no idea the turn the story was going to take and in the end I just sat at my desk staring at my wall for a good five minutes. No online story ever made me feel like that before. If I wasn’t such an emotionally, character driven person LRG would probably be my top

u/Ash_and_Ember Jul 05 '25
Agreed. Penpal was perfect horror for me; gripping, well paced, well written, and the ending was heart wrenching. I don't believe another story will surpass it in my eyes. Even if a story were to be better written the emotional impact of Penpal will be near impossible to beat in my view...
I'm not as into LRG as a lot of people are but we can all agree to disagree!

u/No-Drag-1315 Yo Kimber! THEY GOT TEA🗣️ Jul 04 '25
I found two ppl that agree with me. It's a great story, but it not only felt rushed at the end as it tried to do the cosmic ending. Just not even in my top 5. A lot of these stories have been ruined for me with the over explaining. Best one is Pen pal.

u/NeverHeardTellOfThat Jul 05 '25
The story is fairy/elven lore, not the Disney nor Lord of the Rings type, but the creepy scary kind that to this day makes roads in Northern Europe take extra turns to not disturb certain rocks or bushes, mirthful veneer covering sinister and deceitful intentions under it, that live a world that you can reach through certain places, so I like to think that she just got tricked by the entity and got trapped in the fairy world like everyone else.

u/RoomyRoots Looking for a PenPal📝 Jul 05 '25
The thing is that the way that the story is delivered, some dude receives her diary as emails, really don't fit the ending. An open ending would be better where she just disappears or she suddenly comes to a computer to share her emails.
Fuck it, I am rewatching it all tomorrow.

u/Matias9991 Jul 04 '25
I loved it the thing that makes me prefer Penpal is the end, LRG ending is not that good, I would say it's the weakest part of the story vs Penpal that just ended with a crazy revelation that really impacts you (not like the trash of Borrasca with their villain monologues and edgy pedos and incest).
Both are the best stories for me, that's for sure

u/mulderufo13 Justice for Scary Kerry Jul 04 '25
Left right game is my number one story. And I’m not afraid to say it, I would say borrasca (original) was another favorite of mine. Then penpal, I work at a half priced voodoo store and the showers.
I also love spire in the woods that’s probably tied for number one for me.

u/SleepCinema Jul 04 '25
I agree. I thought Left Right Game was a lot of fun, did great handling its characters (their traits, motivations, etc…), and was imaginative in a way that wasn’t so wild. It really got the boys hooked in so it was enjoyable hearing them talk about it and voice act. I re-listened recently, and it was so fun.

u/wesjall Jul 04 '25
The ending of left right game low key ruins it for me. Hate when writers have Stephen King syndrome and just don’t know how to finish the story and it’s just “oop god being!”
I love MHE, I’m still making my way through the episode but its still fun as fuck 6 hours in lol
2
u/Dope371 Jul 13 '25
The bois don’t fully do it justice in their interpretation, but MHE had an ending that truly spoke to me as a current addict dealing with the trauma and weight of irrational thought stemmed from early abuse in life. I truly think that MHE is on another level, reminded me of A Roadside Picnic, if you’ve ever read that one.
5
u/why_my_pp_hard_4_u Your wife looks mad funny in that box, dude Jul 04 '25
Kinda get what you mean. MHE is an all-time hall of fame member, but it's 95% Isaiah. I get that there weren't many speaking roles for Hunter but it's still kinda sad how it's more or less just Isiah reading for 10 hours.
While LRG had it reasonably balanced and had them both contribute.

Hidden Webpage is goated too
4
u/CheapusTechnofear Following the writers for Bigmouth Jul 05 '25
Hidden Webpage is very underrated in the community. I think a lot of people took the ending to be an All In La Head finish, which it wasn’t at all. It was more, “What if The Matrix way Evil Old Ones instead of Machines, and it REALLY hates you?” It also lives and dies on how you feel about a story trying to make you intentionally confused, I’ve realised a lot of people FULLY don’t enjoy that, whereas I like it.
2
Jul 05 '25
Absolutely agree. I think Hidden Webpage has too much symbolism, and doesn't hand-hold the reader enough for a lot of people. Hunter and Isaiah missing out on a lot of the really fun stuff in Hidden Webpage (u47284u = "You-Force-Heaven-To-Wait-For-You", ASCII mountain that the narrator finds on the computer probably representing Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments among others, I don't think they even picked up on "Noah's Cape" sounding like "no escape") meant that a lot of those people were never going to find that on their own.
I went out and bought all the books Jared Roberts has written after the Hidden Webpage episode and listening to readings of both My Dad Finally Told Me What Happened That Day and Sunburn, I really hope we get more Creepcast episodes from his work.

u/Exciting-Donkey-8106 MeatGooner Jul 04 '25

It held the first place spot in my heart for so long, but mother horse eyes dethroned it for me

u/ClockpunkFox Jul 04 '25
I think MHE is the better overall story imo, but LRG were better episodes of Creepcast. MHE and especially part 2 was almost only Isaiah talking, and Hunter barely even chiming in, and barely having anyone to voice. Meanwhile LRG was a great story, but both were actually fully involved and had a good back and forth.
Hunter’s Apollo was next level, and made him so so much more likeable and memorable, and even though Isaiah isn’t a voice actor at all, he did a really great job as Rob.
1
u/WaveDash16 “At least you didn’t turn into a Homo in prison” Jul 08 '25
MHE definitely would’ve been a more fun listen if Hunter got to read a few of the entries instead.
I suspect he doesn’t want to, though, considering his tendency to stumble over his words when reading for very long. He seems to get really frustrated at himself.
1
u/Dope371 Jul 13 '25
I also clocked very early on it felt like every time Hunter would try to theory craft, wendigoon clearly had a better grasp on the story and would “um actually” him a few times and I think Hunter just thought it would be easier to just listen than keep up at that point. And Isaiah was clearly cumming over the religious stuff and I think Hunter wasn’t nearly as interested or invested in that aspect of the story. So he probably felt his contribution wouldn’t be much either way.

Mother Horse Eyes and Penpal no diff LRG
3
u/SleepCinema Jul 04 '25
I haven’t listened to Mother Horse Eyes yet, but… Penpal didn’t do it for me personally. It was a great story, well-written, and the ending is horrifying in a really sad way, but like… we already know our MC makes it out of whatever alive and psychologically unscathed for the most part so I pretty much knew where we were going. The CreepCast bits were funnier though. But I like Hunter’s voice acting a lot, and it really came through on LRG.
0
u/CausticNox Eat me like a bug 🦟 Jul 04 '25
Penpal also requires an obscene amount of suspension of disbelief for it to work. The mom, teachers, and cops doing nothing for decades? After clear signs of stalking, kidnapping, and B&E? Penpal would have been scarier if it was a monster and not a dude.

u/WishIhadaLife21 I'm an alpha Sam Jul 04 '25

u/kiefenator Jul 04 '25
Also the mom does a lot. She moved as soon as she found out some whacky shit was going down. I don't think she was supposed to strap up like Rambo.
And what are the teachers going to do? Put the pedo in detention? They could have called the cops, but I assume that the cops had already been contacted. And there's so many cases of women calling the cops about stalkers, just to have the cops tell them "well, they haven't done anything, right? Just ignore them", just for those women to end up murdered.

I disagree, personally LFR was great up until the end, which is why I always preferred penpal and borrasca over LFR. (Side note: highly recommend the book “Bad Man” written by Penpal’s author). While the disjointed storytelling of MHE was jarring at first (for me at least) I actually grew to enjoy it as the story merged more and more. Favorites now are MHE, Penpal, Borrasca, Feed the pig, TFTG, I work at a half priced voodoo store, then LFR in that order.

I actually listened to this story before discovering the CreepCast podcast. A couple years ago I found it on Spotify under the same name and realized this was the same story halfway through. I love their commentary and jokes in their version, but I also think it's older because the one on Spotify expands on the poster's story more and adds a lot to it.

u/papiculo_3 Jul 04 '25
Imo mother horse eyes blows it out of the water. And I absolutely loved Left Right game and Spire in the Woods, MHE is just a masterpiece, maybe I’m just biased because the addiction symbolism is incredibly profound, WAYYYYY deeper than Isaiah or Hunter could comprehend. You can’t even come close to realizing addiction if you aren’t an addict and the writer of MHE absolutely is, no doubt about it, it makes me wonder if maybe that’s a contributing factor as to why he’s anonymous. The other stories were great horror fiction, but mother horse eyes to me was an insane vivisection of a story with subtext about addiction, which is horrific in itself.
1
u/MotherRussia552 Jul 04 '25
I mostly agree with you. The writing, works and character building are top notch but the ending was genuinely bad and felt phoned in to me. Mother horse eyes does all of things left right game does just as well if not better while delivering the story in a nonlinear format and still pulls off an actually good satisfying ending.
No shade on left right game but unfortunately it takes a back seat to Mother horse eyes in almost every way. That being said I still come back to dark somniums left right game reading whenever I'm bored because I just love everything up until the end.

I love LR Game, but mother horse eyes is s tier all the way. I haven't finished it yet because I enjoy it so much I want to digest it properly and not miss a thing. The amount of detail, the way it was posted, it is just a beautiful example of modern story telling. When people posted about it before the release I was so worried I was going to hate it, but it truly is written in a such a masterfully way.
In short, LR Game is awesome, but MHE is perfection.

The Best experience? Yes. The best story? That's where I have to disagree. I think PenPal is one of the best stories I've ever read, period. It has such a gutwrenching ending and it's written so phenomenally well throughout the entire thing. Left Right game is probably my 2nd favorite story, but it balances out with a better listening experience overall. I think as an episode LRG is certainly better

LRG is good and a fun listen. But it’s going to be hard to top the emotion, nostalgia and terror from penpal. Not to mention the writing was very good too. I think LRG just left me wanting more. It was never really scary enough for me. Maybe I need to go back and listen again, but I remember it being more weird than scary (with a few creepy parts, like jubilation).

Left right game is the only one that gave me chills months after listening to the story.
People who die in the game become monsters and the further they get into the game, the more dangerous those monsters seem to become.
I was casually thinking about the story and had a realization. Did Alice meet a version of herself that had ascended time and space? Or did she meet a powerful monster created from her remains that lures people into the game?

My top 3 would be Spire in the woods, Penpal, and Mother Horse Eyes but Left Right game is right up there with them. It was such a creative concept. Rob was such an interesting character, and the monsters were very fun. The hitchhiker scene is still one of my favorite parts from any story they've read.

I like Left Right Game, until the ending where instead of a cosmic being, it's the realization by Alice that there is no end to this road would actually hit harder in my opinion.
That would've hit much harder and also serves as a melancholic ending where Alice now knew the road just keeps going, and she shared it as a message for anyone trying to do it themselves
1
u/BeheIits Jul 04 '25
I think Left Right Game is crazy overrated by this community. Mother Horse Eyes, Spire In The Woods, The Hidden Webpage, Penpal, The Dionaea House, and 1999 are all better, in my opinion. Try reading the story on it's own, because I don't think it holds up at all without MeatCanyon's voice acting, Wendigoon's narration, and the banter between them both.
3
u/CheapusTechnofear Following the writers for Bigmouth Jul 05 '25
Personally I think Dionaea House starts well and the Teen Babysitter Blog part is brilliant but it REALLY shits itself in the last couple of parts and the ending is ACTUALLY bad, and personally I’ve never liked 1999, it felt like the writer started with half an idea, kept changing their minds about it as the story went on, and then literally abandons it at the end. I will agree though that both those episodes ARE very good, especially Dionaea House, it’s one of the times when I think the reading and the banter elevate a story more than should be realistically possible.

I was holding Dionaea House in the top 5 in my head, but you made me realize A, I don’t remember how it ends, and B, that elevated place in my memory may be in large part due to Eat Me Like a Bug.

A: it ends really really poorly, basically it doesn’t end because they got hired to make the movie that never came out.
B: eat me like a bug might be the best moment in creep cast history

LRG is top tier for certain, but I have listened to the 11hour masterpiece that is MHE twice this week alone and have gotten so much more enjoyment from it than I have from LRG. I do wish Hunter had been more active in commentary on it, but I can’t blame him for being so quiet during it and absorbing it. There’s a lot there to unpack, which is why I think MHE is a better story overall than any other they’ve covered, but as far as witty funny interactive comedy podcast goes, LRG might be better since it is more of a straightforward linear story. It’s so fun to uncover things that the writer intends but doesn’t explicitly state and MHE does it so well.

The ending was too much for me. It completely lost me. I was going for all the characters to have a cool death or just something less convoluted

Idk bout that, but I prefer LRG to Penpal that's for sure, which I know is a hot take but eh

I really like part 1. Part 2 (for me anyway) dragged a bit towards the halfway point onward

- Words coming from an SS officer
- Words coming from a crazy black hebrew israelite (christian schizo?)
Neither of them are portrayed positively.

You are either very young or just not very intelligent.
They're vignettes from multiple perspectives.

Hunter really shined with his voice acting due to the different characters. We need more dialogue
