Killer Frequency

Killer Frequency is an adventure game with a horror comedy tone. It was developed by Team17, known worldwide for the Worms series, and inspired by popular slasher movies.

Plot

Killer Frequency takes place in the 1980s United States, specifically - inside a KFAM radio station in the town of Gallows Creek. The main protagonist is a radio DJ, who receives a strange phone call right after starting his shift. What he learns during the call completely changes the course of what was supposed to be a quiet night...

Mechanics

The gameplay in Killer Frequency is shown from the first-person perspective (FPP). During the game the player explores a large radio station, covering the area of one square kilometer. Aside from that, we can talk to the eccentric townspeople, collect clues and solve puzzles using items from days past, such as a tape recorder or a gramophone. In addition we can make decisions which affect both us and the other residents of Gallows Creek; their (and our) fates are in our hands, and it is up to us whether they'll survive the night.

Technical aspects

The graphics of Killer Frequency have been made with use of cel-shading. The soundtrack was inspired by 1980s music, consisting of rock and electronic (including synthwave) tracks.
