I don’t think any of us know what was going on behind the scenes, but I personally want to chalk this up as another casualty of 2020's staff shortages. The worst offender came during the second last chapter, where the audience hears him do a second take, repeating the same sentence. Benjamin Richard 'Yahtzee' Croshaw is an English comedic writer, video game journalist and author of adventure games created using Adventure Game Studio software. Lack of pauses between dramatic moment or new chapters, too much pausing between characters talking, having Croshaw taking a deep breath in my ears or hearing his lips smacking in his one long take, all of it is just unprofessional. The concept for the novel can be seen in his weekly Zero Punctuation review of the survival horror game Dead Island where he says that people would not be able to cope if civilization ends. It is his second published novel after Mogworld in 2010. I’m unsure if Croshaw edited this himself or if someone from Audible was responsible for it, but whoever it was, they dropped the ball. Jam is a science-fiction post-apocalyptic novel by British video-game critic Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw. Cutting straight to the point, the big thing that took me away from enjoying this experience was the audio editing (or lack of). Unfortunately, this is a big deterrent from them. Look, it goes without saying that the work Yatzee produces are all bangers, and his previous narrations were perfect for the characters being portrayed.
