"Radio Station" is a 40-minute long narrative first-person game with a slightly confusing story that takes place entirely without your input, it is told via radiocommunication messages that are all voiced in Russian. English subtitles are provided as well, and while the translation is a bit clumsy, they are clear enough to tell the story. This story takes place in a country torn apart by war. It is winter, and food is scarce. The protagonist needs medicine for his family, and an acquaintance promises to provide it if he fetches a box with food from a nearby barn. While trying to do that, the protagonist ends up in an underground chamber with a radio unit. There is almost no gameplay. At first you walk a few minutes along a linear path until you find the barn. A bit later you need to remove two barricades to get access to the radio unit. And then you listen to radio messages in Russian for 30 minutes, with long pauses between each message, while you don't have anything to do at all. Most of the messages aren't even related to the plot, they are just exposition to flesh out the setting, and they often introduce new characters that then don't appear again at all. After this, exactly one more action becomes available, and then the game ends. The game does not have any puzzles, just 4 instances where you need to do very obvious interactions to open doors or break a barricade. There is no room to explore, as the entire game takes place on two extremely small maps with linear paths only. There's little reason to talk about the graphics, as the screenshots already show most of what the game has to offer. Five of the six screenshots on the store page show the snowy scenery that you'll encounter during your 2-minute walk to the barn, and the sixth shows the room that you spend 30 minutes in while listening to the radio. The sound effects are fitting, and the voice acting seems decent, though that's hard to tell as I can't understand their language. The game has no usability functions whatsoever. There is no way to rebind keys, no FOV slider, no y-axis inversion, and no way to save the game. Granted, for a 40-minute game with almost no interaction, most players can probably live without them. I can't recommend the game, as there is barely any content and almost nothing to do. This is more a proof of concept, or perhaps a short audio drama, rather than a game. That said, what's there is at least somewhat competently done, and it seems that the author would be able to produce something worth buying if he put more effort into it - a _lot_ more.

Ну, нет, ребята. Такой инди нам не нужен. Это даже не игра, а интро. Вы просто идете, светите фонариком и слушаете радио. Минут 30. По фактам: - нет геймплея: идти и светит фонариком - это не геимплей - нет дизайна: в игре не на что смотреть, пару десятков низкополигональных моделей и такого же качества текстур на всю игру - нет сюжета: несколько записанных диалогом по рации - это не сюжет
a very thorough story...with great visuals.
Небольшая инди игрушка с жизненной историей посреди войны. Короткий рассказ о выживании, человечности и жесткости. В основе игры — это диалоги на радиостанции в подземном бункере, да и во время немногочисленных переходов происходят оживленные беседы по рации. Кроме текстовой составляющей, придется немного побродить по небольшой локации и найти пару предметов. Игра очень атмосферная, несмотря на минимум активности, быстро погружаешься в сюжет и начинаешь сопереживать персонажу. Всё благодаря хорошо проработанным диалогам и мастерской работе актеров озвучки. Недостаток игры в ее непродолжительной и неторопливости, упор на сюжет, но хотелось бы помасштабнее событий. В целом отличная история, хорошее исполнение, было интересно и увлекательно.
I liked the story...but wow is it short! Its more of an interactive novel than it is an adventure game so be aware of what you're actually buying.
Коротенькая атмосферная история, так сказать от людей для людей. Советую, не пожалеете.
Всем здрасте. ============== Хорошая игра, с хорошей озвучкой. Благодаря которой, погружаешься в игру и сопереживаешь персонажам. Минусов игру несколько. Совсем мало игровых моментов. И короткая история, интересно больше узнать о данной вселенной, о событиях ( кто с вес, из-за чего. и т.п.) Недосказанность. Игра ТОП, не насытился. (( ========================= Кому интересно https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOndWpr2PGM
Очень атмосферная история, рекомендую к прохождению усидчивым любителям атмосферы в играх
И так по порядку, игра цепляет хорошей атмосферой и проработкой звука. Приятная картинка и оформление, заявка на хорошо проведенный вечер, но к сожалению не больше. От автора хотелось бы более развернутого сюжета или некоторых загадок что бы разнообразить геймплей а так пока 6/10
SPOILERS !!!!!!!!!!!!! As much as i want i cant give a positive review because there is nothing in this game for that. First, no options whatsoever, just resolution and language. Game is too short 35 min of nothing really. I do know and i do like walking simulators, and this game is not even that. In this game you broke the first rule you came for silence and quiet, the first thing guy said is be quiet and walk slowly no flashlight and ofc i started with a flashlight just walking around making noise, that is the first 5 min of the game. The REST of the game is in one room for 30 min listening to a radio now knowing are you stuck, do you need anything to find or is it scripted. And yes it is scripted, you need to listen to ALL radio news and ppl talk to progress. But i give them a little positive there is some story a sad one, very shortly, you are a guy looking for medicine and food for you sick child, you found the items but it did not go all to plans. But still, i cant give positive for just standing simulator game for 30 min listening to a radio. i just cant. You should have added reading notes, papers, interact with more items add more places, just anything more to be like 1h. Game. The game did run well, had constant 60 fps, most indie devs have no idea how to optimize the game, here it was good. But the rest is just not worth it. not even for $0.45 on sale
