Killer Frequency

It's a fun slasher/horror storytelling game with a great 80s ambiance. You play radio-host, you solve puzzles and throw balls of paper in a hoop. I highly recommend, I enjoyed it a lot.

Killer Frequency is a short and sweet puzzle-thriller game where you play as the host of an 80s radio station and are tasked with answering emergency calls from the townsfolk about a serial killer on the loose. Unfortunately, you're the only one available to take calls and must try to keep everyone alive while you get to the bottom of who the killer is. Main gameplay loop here is picking dialogue options to progress the story, exploring the station, playing tunes, and solving the short puzzles that come alongside most calls in order to help the person on the other end of the line. You ARE able to get the entire cast killed, so your actions matter quite a bit to the ending you get, which I really enjoyed. The puzzles were on the easier side imo, but I still had a great time. I was honestly really invested in the world of this game too, especially considering you only explore the radio station and the rest of the worldbuilding comes in entirely from call dialogue and assorted objects you can inspect while wandering the station. The overall story and writing is quite good for what it wants to be, and I really enjoyed going thru trying to get all the achievements as well. I absolutely enjoyed the 80s slasher horror theme, even though I didn't find it all that scary and mostly enjoyed the slightly campy ambiance it gave. Since most of the story is happening over the phone, you never *see* anything happen, only hear it - sometimes this can be rough to listen to (especially during bad endings), but generally speaking I'd say it makes this game pretty light on the horror aspect. I think $25 is a pretty fair price for this one, it's well-made and was really entertaining to stream to friends. Definitely worth at least a few playthroughs to see the best and worst endings!! Easy recommend from me if you like the idea and are looking for an afternoon of puzzles and a short thriller story =))
