I...was disappointed that it ended abruptly. I thought the writing was pretty good, and the characters seemed distinct and fleshed out - perhaps a little artificially for a couple of them, but giving it the benefit of the doubt as it's so short.
The mystery was okay, but got solved too quickly and was very straightforward. I'll add a spoiler bit here when I figure out how haha.The mystery ended really early for me. I felt like once Tuck got bit, it was pretty obvious they were connected to the Incidents. The rest of it was interesting but there was no "mystery" as such after that. Also, The Last of Us ruined other mushroom-based stories for me haha.
Honestly I wanted more, despite me sounding like I didn't like it haha. I did! I just feel like we got the first 15 minutes of an apocalyptic thriller. Not bad at all, but not a whole meal, and not a horror either - to me at least.
