Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.67/day in the week to Aug 4 → 1.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

This is a really cool game. The pacing is great, and the story is pretty cool, if a bit of a trope. No one said tropes have to be bad, though, and this is really fun. Definitely recommend.
I didn’t expect a game about running a radio station to be this stressful the atmosphere is on point the characters feel real and every choice had me second guessing myself I like how it builds tension without relying on cheap jump scares

The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 30: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Quick Description: -Killer Frequency is a comedy horror murder mystery game. You are a radio DJ that stumbles backwards into saving that town from a deranged, whistling serial killer. The visual style and voice acting are hands down, the star of the show. Unfortunately, this is where the positives end for me. The horror elements are non-existent and the puzzles sprinkled into the game are just as thin. The core gameplay is far too slow, tedious, and repetitive to keep my attention. This is why it has taken me 4 months to play about 5 hrs of this game. Consensus: -Bottom Shelf Game (Tier 5 and makes up 10% of my reviews). I really wanted to like this game, but it's just not for me. It's a shame, b/c a lot of love has been poured into the voice acting, the comedy, and the overall atmosphere. But I grew very tired of walking back and forth across the radio station, just to find another item that has a nugget of information that you need to solve a radio call puzzle. This is just not a game that I can recommend.

Это очень классный детектив на пару вечеров. Я в восторге. Жаль, что она не особо популярна.
Sentimientos encontrados con el juego. La historia que plantea es de lo más interesante y los momentos en los que hay que tomar elecciones están bien hechos, pero ya. Me ha faltado poder interactuar más con objetos, sobretodo en las partes en las que solo se habla pero no hay nada más que hacer.
Leaving this review after my first playthrough, already planning on going back as I didn't save everyone but this game is so unique and fun I literally had the most fun listening to the callers sad stories or reports, and using the soundboard effects to make them unserious, leading to multiple moments where I had to pause the game bc I was laughing so hard I was crying. Had it on my wishlist for a few years now, always thought it looked cool but didnt wanna risk the full $24.99 asking price, so I got this last weekend on sale for $4.99. Even at full price this game is worth every penny though. Like I regret waiting so long lmfao. Really my only criticisms are we cant sprint(would really loved that during the basement missions), the story starts off a lil cringy but it does get way better, and the length. First playthrough only took 5 hours but due to the pacing of the story, and where the story had reached in that 5 hours. I couldn't think of a better ending point, but still wish it was a bit longer. Also considering I wanna go back and replay it to try and save the ones I didn't the first time, means its very replayable. The soundtrack, the records you play and can find, is amazing as well but I love synthwave music and retro styled songs, so Im biased lmao. Overall 9.5/10 game in my opinion.
tiene demasiados problemas con el audio y tirones constantes, algo muy molesto para un juego que recae en la inmersión. tengo especificaciones sobradas y ni así se puede. no encontré ninguna solución al problema. El juego esta lleno de referencias a películas clásicas de terror legendarias como scream, halloween o incluso juegos como silent hill. sin embargo estos errores me sacaron de quicio, especialmente porque el juego depende altamente de el audio La historia hasta donde llegue es buena, creo yo nada del otro mundo pero te entretiene lo suficiente para jugarlo una noche tranquila. Por el estado del juego, no lo recomendaría, tampoco he visto que tenga mucho interés en arreglarlo entonces no creo continuarlo pronto.
this was such a surprise!! it was so fun and unexpectedly chilling. I found myself creeped out more times than once which I really didn't expect. the art style is amazing, the colors are wonderful and the soundtrack is top tier! also, you really have to use logic and the clues you find in order to save people, the right answers are not just handed to you which made it all the more fun and engaging. I hope there will be a part 2! big recommend!!!
Loved it, the puzzles are fun and not too difficult, the voice acting is good and he dialogues are funny. I had an amazing time and was left wanting more.
