It’s Christmas Eve, and Lara anxiously anticipates the arrival of her sister, Cleo, so she can reveal a shocking family secret that has been haunting Lara since their mother’s death. By confronting revelations about their grandfather’s shameful past, Lara is hopeful that she and Cleo can make reparations and exorcise this ghost from their lives. The ghost, however, won’t be appeased so easily....

Alexandra Wood’s new play - twisty, suspenseful, and written exclusively for audio - will convince you that you really can’t escape your past.

Different to what I usually listen to but I liked the relationship between the sisters and the binaural effect is cool.

Intriguing family drama with a twist

Excellent. creepy, enticing, impossible and yet, somehow, all too real.

I inhaled Descent, it hasn't yet left me & I suspect it'll be with me for a long while.

Excellent.

Haunting!

This has the bones to develop into something more. Instead it ends in mid-flight, suspended in a fog of suspense and dread. Is there a sequel? This ending is just too in the air, without adequate depth to the nightmare.

Weird and unfinished

Wasn't sure what to expect from the description but as it wasn't too long I'd thought I'd give it a go! Very interesting and very much open to interpretation about what happens to the sisters!

Something different!
