How it feels

You play as a late-night radio DJ fielding life-or-death calls from townsfolk while solving puzzles to keep them alive, blending tense horror with darkly funny dialogue.

What players say

Players praise the voice acting and 80s slasher atmosphere, but split on the gameplay: some find it a fun interactive movie, while others call it boring, slow, and overly reliant on listening to phone calls without much interaction.
