One of the main draws of this mod is the voice acting, naturally, and it's pretty solid (the Storyteller's inflection can be a bit odd at times - but I kind of like the weirdness of it). Mark Meer does a nice job as the stern military commander Roger Maxson, who finds himself doing questionable things for the good of the many, and must grapple with the leadership position he finds himself in. If you want to hear the voices more clearly, I would recommend going into the game settings to turn down the music, as the background ambience can get a little loud at times.
While the mod is a pretty smooth experience once installed, you may need to exercise some patience: it can be a little slow to recognise when you're ready to move on, and on one occasion I did fall off a pathway and was plonked back down in a strange spot, meaning I had to go back to a previous save. At the start you're also given a warning to avoid walking in front of the NPCs (which can confuse them a bit), but thankfully the mod saves your progress pretty frequently in case something goes wrong.
"The main challenges were mostly making the player's traversal through Maxson's memories bug free - which paid off as I've received only a handful of bug reports regarding that sequence of the mod," main programmer Richard "Unoctium" told me. ShoddyCast member Josh, who oversaw the project, said coordinating the teams had also been a challenge - along with trying to produce something of substance without a studio-size budget.
