Noise

Noise is a horror story set in the USSR in 1988, as the Soviet era nears its end. You play as a radio amateur who catches a strange, nonstop signal from a place that does not exist on maps. Infrequent human voices break through, but their words are impossible to make out. You investigate the signal and uncover the secrets behind it.

Use the radio

You have no weapon, and the protagonist does not know how to use one. Instead, you tune the radio to find signals, contact people or listen to Soviet radio broadcasts. Radio use is central to the game, and you can also use it to track the creature, which emits radio waves.

Uncover the story

The story unfolds through conversations, the protagonist’s thoughts and your exploration of locations. Careful investigation matters, as some details can go unnoticed if you do not study the surroundings. Its setting in the USSR gives the story its particular character.

Evade the creature

A creature roams the location and explores it as you do. It hunts you and reacts to your actions: turning on a light or using a flashlight can draw it to investigate. You cannot kill it, so you must hide. The creature cannot see in the dark, which means turning off the light and waiting can sometimes be enough. The creature is central to the story, as important as the protagonist.
