An FPP adventure game in the tone of a horror comedy. Killer Frequency takes place in the 1980s United States. The main protagonist is a radio station employee, burdened with determining the fates of the residents of Gallows Creek.
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.
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...
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.
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.

Game Ratings for Killer Frequency Video Game.
Checkpoint Gaming: 7.5 / 10 by Luke Mitchell
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.
Push Square: 6 / 10 by Stephen Tailby
Despite our complaints, though, Killer Frequency is lifted by its daft charm. It's an intriguing, unorthodox murder mystery that fans of narrative-driven games will certainly enjoy — it just needed a little bit more tuning.
Softpedia: 8.5 / 10 by Andrei Dumitrescu
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.
