Imagine being such a terrible father that you force your only daughter to go outside with you in search of your certainly dead wife *when the world is literally falling apart and there's a bunch of God forsaken eldritch entities of pure nightmare that will probably do all kinds of horrible life-ending shit with you wandering around* instead of leaving her to stay somewhere safe. Unbelievable.

A potential explanation I came up with in a reply to another comment; I think the whole town must periodically fall partially 'out' of reality. The parents know what's going on, so it's happened before. They still have a connection to the outside world so they haven't fallen completely out of the universe, but it's enough for the rest of the world to have 'forgotten' them, hence why they vanished from the internet. The entities are Lovecraftian in nature, able to enter the city because it's Fallen Out, and those are the kinds of creatures that get more powerful the more you Know about them. Cognitohazards, which explains why the parents can't explain what's going on. It could be anything- just them directly getting stronger from people knowing about them, or knowledge of them could be like a beacon. If it's the latter, having the ignorant around might obscure that effect. Or knowledge might even corrupt those too young or weak of willed, hence why the kids are kept in the dark. The only explanation I can think of for keeping the kids in the dark, other than just "Lol story trope", is that the creatures are a cognitohazards.

Interesting theory, only thing i don't understand is: if it happened before why would they stay there? Other than that, the creature explanation actually makes sense. I sincerely love when there's purposely little information on the creatures as it makes them more horrifying in my opinion
@OWnIshiiTrolling

The parents not explaining anything seems to just be a convenient way to avoid having to flesh out the story in this case. They could have offered a lot more information to their kids without explaining anything about the creatures. It really looks like the characters were made braindead for plot convenience.

@Owen Ishii I don’t think that’s the case with this one, as frustrating as it was. They made too big of deal about it in the story, with a couple different characters remarking on how weird it was. I think the author would’ve tried to gloss over it if it was intended to be just a plot device. Of course, whatever the author intended, it ended up acting only as a plot device because he gave literally zero clues as to what else it could be, so the whole point is moot lol

@@michaelh9649 Pointing out flaws like that in the script itself is sometimes used in an attempt to fix the flaw. It doesn't work, though, since the characters pointing out how dumb it is doesn't make it any less dumb. It really looks like a "Hey, even the characters acknowledge that it's stupid, so you can't fault me for it, because I figured it out myself!" We are basically asked to ignore the flaw, because the story acknowledges the flaw, which is kind of silly. But as you say, in the end it's unexplained dumb behavior either way. I just think it's a matter of not investing enough time into the story to make the characters plausible (which is totally fine in a zero-budget online story, and completely understandable), and not for some hidden in-universe reason.

The only downside to finding your channel is the fact that I now VERY rarely can find the same satisfaction in other narrators’s videos. The way you use your voice, the music and the sound effects is so good that it separates your channel from everyone else that I have come upon. Your ability to make me emotional, scared or disturbed is what truly makes me appreciate you and your work. I was wondering if anyone in these comments could recommend a channel, which they believe would give me the satisfaction that I’m seeking. Preferably a channel that uploads their contents to Spotify in the form of a podcast. I have watched / listened to all videos on this channel, and am therefore in desperate need of narrations to get me through my hours at work. Yes, I listen to creepypastas while working, lol.

@Giantwaspface it's clearly an homage. The protagonist even references Stephen king at 17:57
"This will be the last update" he says, claiming to have packed the laptop before continuing to explain what is happening.
The second I heard that his school isn't on the web, and "there's something outside", makes me think that the whole town has phased/disconnected from their main reality. They aren't showing up, because until they reconnect to a world with other people, they technically don't exist. The parents have gone through this before, as they know the rules that you follow to ensure you don't get captured /killed (don't open the door if it's knocked on, keep all doors and window s closed to ensure "they" can't get in, ect. Dad's use of weapons means that the Things are somewhat vulnerable to them, but the fact they aren't heavily use its more of a deterrent then a Finisher.

@@twilightparanormalresearch186 this is the explanation that would make the most sense. I don't know if the story backs it up, though. If they all got injured on that first night, Jeanie _did_ seem to turn much faster than the narrator's parents, which could be because her husband and daughter _both_ knew about her injury (2 other people having knowledge, as opposed to just 1), or it could've been because she had a much worse injury than they got (not stated, but that's the impression I got). What _I_ want to know is how come the parents always seem to know exactly what's going on in these stories? In _The Third Parent_ the author actually bothered to explain that the parents had gone through it themselves as children, but in a story like this it's like.... what, did they also experience their entire hometown disappearing and everyone turning into monsters when they were kids? How did _they_ survive, if that's the case?
My only problem with creepy pastas is they always make me want to know more about the creatures especially ones that sound as cool as this but we never get that satisfaction and it makes me angry

I like how the story built up the threat level, culminating in a Lovecraftian monster at the end. I don't know what links the disappearance of any online footprint the town has with it's physical disappearance. I've listened to it a couple of times and I'm none the wiser on that front. At the end of the story it alludes to there being a sequel and it would be a great idea for the author to write one in the style of the protagonist but a few years older when they try to find their home town and maybe have more clues as to the background of the entity and what, if anything, their government knows about what's going on.

Protagonist noticed a scratch/wound that they were hiding. Probably it is some kind of virus that affects the brain or something and forces victims to walk right to the monster eventually. The woman from a friend's family also was scratched, and at night she was gone via the window. Same fate. What I really don't understand is the last seconds of the ending. Protagonist talks about returning to the town in the future and that they "know they can find the entrance". Just like the monsters did, knocking and prodding every nook and cranny? And at the last sentence, he signs up as Mark? I thought Mark was his brother? Is he hallucinating? Is he having an imaginary friend? Is it some part of "I'm already a monster and killed my brother"? This I really don't understand and would love for somebody to explain to me.

Just finished reading the Left/Right game, absolutely love the story! Has anybody heard of the Left/Right Game?
The voice acting and sounds and music makes it so easy to imagine. I also love that even through all the sounds, i can still hear the narration (which is very hard to find)
Crazy how I can live out the whole story in my head while listening to this with my eyes closed
"My hometown went missing once too. Suddenly I realized I took the wrong turn." - Some dude out there
I love how you use the music, voices and timing to make the perfect effects, I was blown away with the mother’s voice as I was not expecting an actual person to say it! Amazing work dark
Its been 2 years and this is by far, the best on this channel.
Why is this guy so good at telling a story
My one and only favorite narrator. I miss hearing you tell stories. Been gone for a while and truly miss hearing the fresh sound of your voice for it is indeed therapeutic for some.
Thank you for uploading! I was looking for something to help keep me awake until my husband gets home. I really enjoy listening, my husband introduced me to you as well!! Lol

The audio and reading here is absolutely amazing. It was like imagining a movie or a series, but it's a super descriptive Auditory story.
Great story, I'm glad it had a somewhat happy ending. I just wish Alice could have escaped with them. What was her father thinking?! I get that he wanted to try to save his wife, but what on earth would possess him to take his daughter out there with him?
I just found your channel and wow! The narration is amazing and omg the sound effects! The knocking sounds were such a good touch, especially how they continued to get more and more urgent throughout the video. Really had me on edge. I am so glad I found this channel!
Dude no wonder the audio on this one was hard. The work around 24:00 is insane!
You'll never usually find me sitting through the entirety of a KZread video as long as this one, but your narration and emotion put into the production made me do so. Well done and keep up the good work.

Me too, my ADHD can rarely let me watch a 1 hour TV-show, but here I can Listen for 2 hours!
I just wanted to say I listened to the entire Left Right Game video and I must say, I love your voice. It's like velvet in my ears. Your tone, the way you adjust it based on what is happening in the story, just perfect. So glad I found your channel.
Literally just told a coworker I hoped a new story got uploaded. My hope has been answered
I just love these longer, "cinematic" type stories
The writing on this one left something to be desired but the narration, as always, was peak
You are the best horror narrator on KZread hands down. You put so much emotion and effort in your videos and it really shows
When I was young, my parents could be quite scary also. :-\ I loved this story it hit me in my inner child and that’s a special kind of fear.. lordy this was scary
I loved this one. You are so different from the norm of most of the creepy pasta story tellers. I like that you pick stories like this to read and that you always read them so well and add all the little background noises. It adds so much.
You are absolutely a master of your craft sir! Your technical ability to set a tone is impeccable and your truly brought this story to vivid, horrifying life!!! Wow...
i find it strange how i find stories like these more interesting then scary, the narration really gives me the type of vibe i’m looking for
Not usually a fan of voice actors in these, but Romnex killed it. Well done.
Good job as always. Glad to have found your channel to have in the background while I'm doing deliveries.
11:56 The cut in the music followed by that subtle sting was beautifully done.
The first video of yours that ive watched as it came out, spent day and night looking for it again, and here i am now.

Ain’t no way, that fast of a response?!
Just starting the vid, sounds pretty good already. Missed watching and listening to Dark's vids, been busy with school. It seems like his stuff became even better!
Now that my time is limited due to classes I have started to appreciate these stories a lot more.
Only your channel can cause genuine and anxiety enducing fear. The environment woven by your stories is perfect enough for me to slip deep into focus, and let reality fade and give way to the world in-between the words. This was the first creepypasta I listened to before slipping down a rabbit hole and a journey of gaming and listening followed. I came back to listen again and this made me sweat just as hard as it did the first night I heard it. Truly the best creepypasta channel I've found yet.
This was the first story that got me interested in this channel and I love coming back to it!
omg is the roar at 30:40 a pitched wail from the tripods from War of The Worlds? you clever man, you. this is exactly what puts you a step above the rest!
You’re narration is the best I’ve found on KZread it’s so calm and flows around the story so well I’ll be honest this is the first video I’ve seen from you and my god I can say this… it’ll definitely not be the last🤣
one of my favourite stories growing up on the internet was The Disappearance of Ashley, Kansas. This makes me feel very nostalgic for that story
I nearly fell asleep, his voices are comforting. I used to be scared of these, now I find them interesting as hell!
Oh he lives in Jersey that explains everything
Gotta say, that's a sick sound visualizer thingy you got. Putting dropshadows and stuff with the coloring makes it look like pulsating concrete or something
One of the first TDS I watched, absolutely fell in love with the narration, the sfx the music. Thank you, Dark Somnium. This channel has gotten me through some dark times in my life.

This really made me panic as I was on a trip in my car and we passed through New Jersey as we were told the exact name and location-
This is a really good story. I loved the music picking up before the gunshots, sent a chill down my back. I have tried other narrative creepy story channels but I think I've found the best one.
This plus the background music reminded me of playing Darkwood Well done man, this gave me the real spooky vibes I been craving
I love narrations like this. Always makes me feel like I'm in it.
I'm getting great Silent Hill vibes... great story bro

Damn, I really like how you read stories. The music and sound effects are on point and the voices, oh my god you implement the voices really fucking good. That's one of my biggest gripes with channels having other people voice characters, they're always so bad it takes me out of the story, but the way you do it is truly cinematic. Ay you got yourself another subscriber homie. Keep up the good work
I have chills all over! Dark Sonium you are SO good at telling scary stories!
Dark !! YOU nailed it once again. You are truly so good to us. The Atmosphere in this story is soooo good; in the beginning, when the brothers see something in the woods and hear a scream, I love those moments, they feel cosy. Safe inside, while the horrors are outside. truly a glorious story that put me in a real movie like state in my head ^^ Thank you so much Dark Somnium. after all these years, your voice sounds like a good friend to me, helping me fall asleep ^^ ! Love you man !

Loved this story, I hope there is at some point a continuation, of it, as it sounds like there could be more story for it.
I just started listening to you and now I’m addicted! Your voice is so good for these.
The sound during the supermarket scene is the best I've ever heard. Good job.
