Killer Frequency isn’t producing the identical buzz that, say, Starfield is. Nevertheless it’s my favourite new sport. For apparent causes.
I’ve to shout out Fred Jacobs from Jacobs Media Methods for placing this on my radar. Earlier this 12 months, he devoted one among his day by day weblog posts to The “R-Phrase” (Radio, after all). In speaking about how “Radio” (the time period, versus the precise medium) nonetheless has juice in 2023, he introduced up the instance of Killer Frequency. I hadn’t heard of the sport but. Now, it’s all I need to play.
Killer Frequency is the Finest New Sport You Haven’t Found But
As described on the sport’s web site: Killer Frequency is a first-person horror journey that places you within the sneakers of a late-night radio host. Resolve puzzles, save lives and run the switchboards, all whereas listening to a jukebox of retro ‘80s tunes! As you’ll be able to in all probability think about, as quickly as I learn this description, I used to be scrambling to see how and the place I might play this sport.
After I say watching the trailer gave me a jolt of nostalgia, I’m not simply the Whistling Man. The studio areas created within the sport are eerily much like lots of the radio stations I’ve labored at over time. Ditto for the gear. I began my radio journey at WRBB in 1996 and my skilled profession at WFNX in 1997. I skilled on boards like these. I performed precise data on document gamers. I’m outdated.
The gameplay is what you’d anticipate from a sport of this ilk. First-person, puzzle-solving, some cool scares and a few good, corny, era-appropriate comedy. And talking of acceptable, it’s nice for teenagers, too (rated 12). The web site has all the information on what platforms you’ll be able to play it on. For those who’re a fan of 80’s nostalgia or horror or a radio nerd like me, it’s a must-play.
