    This is 189.16, The Scream, I am Forrest Nash, and I sincerely recommend you pick up this title! Simple puzzles and hilarious dialogue mean just about anyone should tune in to Killer Frequency.

    Killer Frequency is a compelling choice-driven, non-action-oriented survival horror game that demands you keep your wits about you. If you really want to become the hero, you’ll enjoy every tense minute of it. Fail or consciously turn to the dark side, however, and you’re awarded with funny deaths and dark humor. Either way, it’s well worth giving it a spin.

    Killer Frequency is a good narrative experience with some decent gameplay ideas. The story of the Whistling Man and his killing spree seems very familiar at first but benefits from nice twists and turns that actually pack emotional power. There’s not much depth to any of the mechanics but they add a lot of interactivity and give players opportunities to learn more about the universe of Gallows Creek. The voice actors deserve a lot of praise, especially for making their narratives interesting enough that I often forgot to constantly try to make crumpled paper free throws from my DJ station. The title does not outstay its welcome, at around 4 hours for a first run, and there’s replayability if players really want to keep everyone alive. Killer Frequency doesn’t reinvent its genre but it is engaging and simply fun.

    I was immediately captivated by the well-written dialogues between the characters in the game. They allow you to empathize with the heroes, understand their motives and experiences. This creates a sense of closeness and involvement in what is happening. In addition, the game has excellent emotional voice acting in English.

    Would I recommend Killer Frequency? Yep… even if you aren’t really a horror fan (like me)… this isn’t really the adrenaline pumping stuff… it’s far more the “horror comedy” style and those semi cartoon style visuals do help take some of the edge off the tension. It’s not a bad price but replay value isn’t super high (unless you want to mess with the callers and find out what their fate is like if you choose different options). A fun game with an interesting style, grab it if you like your puzzle solving with some retro radio vibes.

    Killer Frequency is a delightfully gimmicky game with an outrageous horror-comedy premise.

    If you're into adventure and puzzle games, Killer Frequency is a nice and slightly different take on a game in that genre. But it's not a game for everyone.

    Honestly I can't find a fault in the game beyond that the puzzles seem to be static, but ultimately I understand that would require a lot ofHonestly I can't find a fault in the game beyond that the puzzles seem to be static, but ultimately I understand that would require a lot of planning and voice acting for every possible little branch. It's presented very well, the characters are well voiced and written, and even if I found myself ahead of a few twists I wasn't ready for how it ended. I feel like there is also some replay value to be had, especially depending on the choices you make. Highly recommend, would spend another 5 hours sinking paper balls into the trash can.… Expand
