A relationship drama, which takes place in a small apartment between two characters. Sounds straight forward, but it was a sound design and voice acting challenge! You'll want headphones for this, to not miss the nuance of spacial panning. This is a very grounded story, which brings you the dynamic of two characters in a very relatable situation.
