Dead Frequency

Dead Frequency is a short, linear horror game about a technician sent alone to repair a radio tower in the remote countryside. What begins as a quick job becomes a dangerous ordeal: the previous technician is missing, and something in the darkness watches and stalks you as you work. A playthrough takes 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how thoroughly you explore.

The assignment

You must restore the facility and get the radio tower operational. You repair computer terminals, generators, ventilation systems and transformers, using specialised tools, engineering equipment, scanners and radios. Along the way, you investigate the Corporation's purpose for the facility, search for the previous technician and uncover their fate, and trace the anomalous activity to its source to learn what it is.

The threat

An adversary lurks in the darkness and may sabotage your mission or attack you. It changes its behaviour based on your actions, while randomised events make each playthrough unpredictable. The hand-crafted environment also contains secrets to find.
