Killer Frequency

I do have to spoil one thing for animal lovers before I get into this because to get the Killer Frequently achievement, that storyline includes a dog death. You get a sense that it's coming and you can run to the corner of the office where the door is (it was the quietest for me but you have time to run around and figure out where it's quietest for you) so you can't hear it much and it softens the blow if you're sensitive to stuff like that. Anyway, I didn't like that you could only have one save file and that you had to play the thing AGAIN for either everyone survives or no one survives. The no one survives felt like it insulted your intelligence because nothing was overly hard to figure out so you just fail on propose. If they were trying to lean into washed up bigshot radio host who just doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥, I would have believed it if the lines were tilted more in that direction but I think the "correct" playthrough was supposed to be you win some, you lose some based on stuff in the storytelling and dialogue. But I'm gonna be frank with you, I'm NOT doing a 3rd playthrough to find out. I got the gist thank you. :P That all being said... This game was pretty ok! I enjoyed the double narrative of a radio host playing 911 for the night while a serial killer seeks vengeance over old wounds. The voice actor for Forrest Nash nailed that radio host persona so well, I had to look up to see if he had a career in it and wouldn't you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ know he DOESN'T? Super shocked honestly! Also, it was clear they did a little research into the era because the slang that was present seemed pretty period accurate (this story takes place in 1987). It wasn't overly campy but it wasn't overly serious either. Nothing felt like they were cheesing the 80's for nostalgia or to really buff in that aesthetic. Feels like the type of thing a streamer might play on Halloween when they want a chill time with chat. I can easily see them getting feedback on choices to make stuff. So yeah, I'll rec it. :)

Крайне увлекательный игровой опыт, где игроку предстоит взять на себя роль ведущего на радио, на долю которого выпадает самая тяжелая ночь в его жизни. Маленький городок по обыкновению жанра сотрясается от убийств Свистуна, серийного убийцы, который давным-давно считается погибшим. Беря на себя функции диспетчера 911, Форест между проигрыванием пластинок успевает помогать жителям, попавшим в беду, давая им ценные советы по спасению от ножа убийцы. Или не успевает, но тут уже все зависит от игрока. При этом разнообразия ради игрока не заставят безвылазно торчать у радиопульта. Несколько раз придется выйти из уютной каморки и пошариться по в общем-то немаленькой радиостанции, чтобы найти необходимые подсказки для решения насущных задач, чтобы спасти очередную жертву Свистуна. То в базе данных потребуется найти сотрудника с медицинским опытом, то разыскать автожурнал с инструкцией, как завести машину без ключа, в общем, очень удобно, что радиостанция полнится ответами на любой вопрос. Сама история при этом тоже очень хороша. С концовки лично у меня начались жесткие флэшбеки по "Крику", вайбы популярного слэшера прям так и прут. Забавно, что ночной эфир Фореста так и называется - "Крик". И хотя на вопрос, кто убийца, тебя наталкивают задолго до концовки, все-таки истинная личность маньяка, как и мотивы, раскрываются лишь в самом-самом конце. Вариативность присутствует, как я уже упомянул, не все жители могут быть спасены, если ты где-то облажаешься, да и для самого Фореста ночь может закончиться плачевно, если смотреть по ачивкам. Так что как минимум один раз перепройти игру точно можно, учитывая, что она достаточно короткая. В целом Убийственная Частота это отличный триллер, который увлекает даже несмотря на то, что все происходящие события мы в лучшем случае слышим благодаря звонкам жертв, при этом никого и ничего не видим, кроме собственно здания радиостанции. И это я считаю настоящий знак качества. Берите все, игра однозначно стоит ознакомления.

Fun game. Great vibes, and there's a palpable tension while helping these people over the radio and not knowing if they'll survive. If you're put off by horror games typically I wouldn't worry as it's a game where the tension of a horror is there but you're never put into the situations of a more typical horror like Silent Hill for example.

Well-designed puzzles, an entrancing story, exceptional sound design, and hypnotizing voice acting from the entire cast. The retrowave aesthetic was the cherry on top of this game.

Vi no TikTok sobre esse jogo e decidi dar uma chance. Ele não promete muita coisa, mas entrega além de muito! Quando percebi, tava preso toda hora entrando no jogo e querendo continuar a história. Pela promoção atual, o jogo vale super a pena. Pelo preço cheio, talvez nem tanto. É um jogo baseado em escolhas e consequências - mas sem toda aquela enrolação que normalmente tem nesse tipo de jogabilidade. É direto ao ponto e demanda, em alguns momentos, você pensar rapidamente pra tomar uma decisão. Além das músicas clássicas que você pode tocar durante a noite, há os anúncios e, a todo momento, você fica tenso - o assassino pode entrar na minha sala? O plot twist é surpreendente no final - e você fica chocado com tanta informação. Acho que só poderia dar a opção de voltar em determinado momento (depois que você termina o jogo, claro) pra você fazer outras escolhas e ver um outro resultado.

loved the color scheme of the game. the VAs exceeded my expectations at bringing the story to life since it is based on imagination. however, the story is less than okay (very predictable and gets boring at times). the dialogue was fun albeit wouldnt recommend replaying it after the first run. its a one time thing if you like slasher movies honestly.
