Our take on Killer Frequency
Instead of putting the player in the path of a slasher as a pursued victim, the game places them behind a radio phone line. Its horror-puzzle structure revolves around interpreting callers’ situations and choosing how to respond, with the radio station serving as the exploration space.
What is Killer Frequency?
Set in 1987, this horror-comedy puzzle game casts the player as Forrest Nash, a former big-city radio DJ working a late-night shift in Gallows Creek.
With the police chief dead, townspeople call the station for help as a killer stalks them. Players use branching dialogue to speak with potential victims and suspects, explore the radio station, gather clues, and solve puzzles while making real-time decisions about callers’ situations. The game features a fully voiced cast, an original soundtrack inspired by 1980s music, and interactive objects such as a cassette and record player. Its first-person story centers on handling calls from the radio booth rather than pursuing the killer directly.
