6/10 The first time I've reviewed a game and genuinely had to deeply consider whether to recommend it or not. I mean, as a puzzle game, it's pretty fun. Even so, it kind of struggles as a story game, as the somewhat patronizing dialogue punishes you for attempting to work the plot out on your own by having the two protagonists explain it all in painstakingly long detail after every call, and there is no option to skip the long, repetitive dialogue on replays, which makes achievement hunting genuinely painful. Moreso, the dialogue is kinda meh? Like, it has some really good moments, but sometimes it feels so flat. It's hard to explain without spoilers, but the protagonists have very little stake in the story, and it sometimes feels like they barely even care about the killer they're trying to stop - especially on any run other than the pacifist run, as the dialogue barely changes regardless of how many people die. Like, most dialogue in an all-dead run boils down to "oh no kevin and his seven orphan hamsters just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ exploded on call with us and it was kind of our fault... Anyway, here's some banging tunes. Who's craving some cheetos right now". The protagonists come off as so apathetic that it kinda rubs off on you, and by the end you just don't really care who lives or dies. I would appreciate it if Forrest could just show a tiny bit of mental deterioration after witnessing like 10 murders in a row and being partly responsible for all of them. With all that said, the villain is really well written, and the characters (if a little two dimensional) have a lot of personality. The plot also comes together pretty nicely by the end. The dialogue is decent enough for a single playthrough, even if, on a replay, it makes a four hour game feel like a twelve hour soap opera. None of the puzzles are particularly hard, but the atmosphere makes it a stressful enough experience that every successful solve feels very cathartic. I enjoyed exploring around the house too. I would recommend this to fans of mystery series and puzzle games, but would warn any completionists that this game will get frustrating quickly. To be honest, I've probably been a little too harsh on this game since the achievement hunting left such a bad taste in my mouth, but in my opinion if achievement hunting can ruin a game, it's probably not a perfect game anyways. It's interesting enough to be worth a play, but its definitely a flawed experience.

I just completed the game. Its such a wonderful experience. It is a very unique type of horror and thriller game I have ever played. I played this game only at midnight for the immersion and the rain here made it even better. I think midnight is the best time to play this game. The game has some of the best voice acting I have ever experienced. This game gives you a type of experience that you crave from a AAA game. I am glad I got this game. A MUST PLAY TITLE!

The premise is awesome. I immediately knew that. But I didn't expect the game, actually, to be as good as it is. It doesn't always work. When a game unapologetically spends most of its time in long conversations, putting a controller in the player's hand is kinda cheeky. I ran around the radio station a lot. I threw more than 500 crumpled balls of paper into the hoop. Just sit back and relax, you say, but then there are quick-time responses that you'll miss out on if you aren't always ready. This game basically invented its own genre, so we can excuse it for giving up on gaming at times. But let's not pretend it doesn't get awkward. And it's a puzzle game, I guess, but the puzzles can be very contrived. The reason it works is that it's all dressed up in 80's schlock horror tropes. Do you really want a bad rental movie to make sense? And what about the acting, do you want it to be good? There's a lot of overacting here, but it's done with such aplomb that it leapfrogs goofiness, falls through the hoop, and lands right at that sweet spot between nostalgia and homage. I mean, if the villain doesn't give a 10-minute self-aggrandizing speech explaining their heinous plans to the last detail, then what are we even doing here. Right? Killer Frequency can be exasperating. It annoyed me in myriad ways. And it can feel thin, in that indie passion-project way, which inspires you with cool gameplay or story ideas but only delivers a pixelated wireframe. And yet this game nails the specificity of its influences like a callback on a joke. You're really there in that radio station. Everybody in this town is insane. It's 1987, it's late at night, and we're just going to do our best.

Very cool game! I'd describe it as a Cozy game with a slight spook factor. Pretty tame on the scary with no real big jump scares (I'd say there are 2-3 smaller scares but they aren't bad, and that's coming from someone who spooks very easy). I'm picky about which scary games I will play. You got some spooky music playing while you walk round the studio, a small handful of story driven spooks that are rather tame, and a room you find that proves to be no danger but just looks creepy. this game is very tame in regards to scare factor. It's also not as nerve wracking being in the studio and not facing the killer as someone being hunter, this game offers such a unique perspective to the "masked killer strikes small town one fateful night" story. The design of this game is so cool, the 80's radio studio is such a creative setting for a game. I do find it funny that in one call, you have someone calling you from different phones in a building as he navigates from room to room while other calls have victims on the line the whole time while in a corn maze or while running around outside in an attempt to escape a killer, it's 1987. But honestly It doesn't take away from the game, just something I noticed half way through the game that gave me a good chuckle. Also, loved the smaller details like being able to throw paper balls into a trashcan from your studio desk, was a fun side activity while on air, and there was a counter for them on the pause screen! The story was great as well, which of course you piece together throughout the night and it leads up to the climax of the game. Got slightly under 10 hours of game play and bought the game on winter sale, so absolutely worth it!
