    This game is an angel that has fallen from heaven. The plot twists are insane, the concept is executed phenomenally. The game has multiple thrilling endings, and it's fun to play.

The game has multiple thrilling endings, and it's fun to play. I recommend beating it in one sitting, so you don't forget important information throughout the storyline of the game. The best part of the game was the perspective. Playing as a radio host who can only help the characters in the game by speaking to them over the phone is one of the greatest experiences of my life. The side activities are also fun. You can play music and ads. There are also achievements you can gain from playing with the controls. I would love for this game to have a sequel or DLC. The experience is just too fun, and it makes you want to play more. Overall, this game is amazing. I'm glad that I bought this on release. And you should play this game if you're looking for a unique horror game.… Expand

    Killer Frequency oozes style from the very beginning. The art & sound design and writing carry the game when the puzzles become too obtuse or bloated for their own good. The controls flip between smooth and clunky depending on where you are in the building and what you're doing. Most of the game is spent inside the radio host's booth, which is where the game shines.

The controls flip between smooth and clunky depending on where you are in the building and what you're doing. Most of the game is spent inside the radio host's booth, which is where the game shines. Making split-second decisions and directing the townsfolk of Gallows Creek make this game truly special, particularly given it's time-tested premise about a potentially supernatural killer set loose upon the town, which invokes classic slasher films well. There are several plot twists, and while most of them I saw coming, you see them coming in a way that makes you feel like the protagonist, actually solving these mysteries as they appear--but there are a few surprise reveals that came out of nowhere. My biggest issue is the end of the game--it feels so sudden and abrupt that you almost wonder if they had to cut things for budget reasons. It leaves the payer feeling uninvolved. The performances are all quite good and the characters feel believable and have actual chemistry with each other. If you liked games like Firewatch, Gone Home, or similar puzzle-centric walking sims, you'll enjoy Killer Frequency-especially with the style and soundtrack it delivers.… Expand

    There's no doubt that Killer Frequency may come with a bit too much dialogue for some, and occasionally some bits do drag, but ultimately there is a great story found within; one that explores the twilight zone of late-night radio.

    Rounding things off, Killer Frequency is a good use of your gaming time. It is well-written, nicely voice-acted, fairly short, and can be seriously creepy at times. Fans of slasher films will have a blast playing this. While I think it would probably be best experienced in VR, it is worth experiencing on a console.

    With a truly unique concept that’s different from any other horror game out there, Killer Frequency mixes just the right amount of campy thrills to keep its serial killer narrative moving along swiftly. As you’re saving civilians using clues around the radio station while cracking jokes and enjoying some retro-inspired tracks, it’s hard not to get invested in the story and setting, especially as it features such strong performances from its wacky cast. The pace can be slow at times, but the twists and turns kept me eager to speak with every new caller. You can trust me as a seasoned producer and presenter: this is one radio program worth tuning in for.
