How it feels

You feel like a time-looping radio detective, tweaking broadcasts to nudge stories forward without ever leaving the control room.

What players say

Players praise the radio-based time loop mechanic but note the game is short and ends abruptly. Many are upset the game was delisted from Steam. Some report bugs including a tutorial softlock.
