Whilst we have seen the likes of 911 Operator utilise a unique call-taking format to save lives, Killer Frequency will have you saving people in an entirely different way – by catching a murderer!
Revive your DJ Career:
In Killer Frequency – releasing today on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC – you will follow the plight of washed-up radio DJ Forrest Nash, playing to his 1980s Midwestern audience. But when a mysterious serial killer begins targeting the denizens of this sleepy town, it’s an opportunity for Forrest to relaunch his career, and save lives at the same time.
By taking calls from incoming callers, you will guide them away from this unknown murderer – your actions will determine whether the killer catches up to their next victim, so make your decisions carefully with branching dialogue options. You’ll need to ensure people stay tuned in to this killer frequency, so make sure to deliver the right 80’s-inspired tunes, with the library including everything from synthwave chords to rocking guitar riffs!
Murderous Plate Spinning:
As is the case with fellow titles in the genre, such as Papers, Please and the aforementioned 911 Operator, spinning so many plates as this dutiful DJ is no easy task. It is imperative to keep a cool head, and to not let the stresses overcome you. Succeed in your task, and you’ll have a bank of clues and and evidence you require, to bring the murderer down.
