Radiotext

Radiotext is a narrative game set in a long-lost communication network built with 1990s software that lets people communicate over radio waves. After a stranger hands you a USB stick in an alley, you plug it in and enter the network as a newcomer. You talk with its users, piece together what happened and become part of its culture.

Explore the network

You establish links across forgotten channels and explore the wideband, meeting people whose lives have been left behind. Some are friendly, some are broken, and some are not alive. You encounter mysteries in your terminal, hear static whispers and decipher frequencies to uncover a deeper story.

Choices and characters

The people you meet ask you to choose sides. Your answers ripple across the network, where trust is fragile: some users lie, others reveal too much, and there may be a mole among them. The story has branching, interconnected paths; a choice in one conversation can affect another. Some choices are hidden, with words that are not shown as selectable options. More than 12 characters have stories to unravel.

Terminal and replaying

The interface combines an old-terminal aesthetic with a typing mechanic and sound effects. You can customize the terminal's colors and node placement. A playthrough takes 3–4 hours and reaches a complete ending, while the network remains open to other paths and ways of experiencing the story.
