However, the game has one drawback that is worth mentioning. The complete lack of an interface sometimes leads to the player forgetting or not understanding what task is in front of him. To remember, you need to return to the remote control and press the appropriate button, then the partner producer will give a hint.
Killer Frequency is a compelling choice-driven, non-action-oriented survival horror game that demands you keep your wits about you. If you really want to become the hero, you’ll enjoy every tense minute of it. Fail or consciously turn to the dark side, however, and you’re awarded with funny deaths and dark humor. Either way, it’s well worth giving it a spin.

It’s safe to say that Killer Frequency has taken us by surprise. We don’t really know what we expected from it, but it gripped us from the outset and made us keen to keep playing. A multi-layered affair, it’s a lot of fun trying to find solutions to the harrowing situations that your callers have found themselves in, but there’s also pleasure in finding out more about its protagonist, Forrest, and the rest of the residents of Gallow’s Creek. Those fond of narrative adventures and engaging puzzles would be wise to give this a spin.
Though it may have some small issues Killer Frequency creates a unique blend of horror, puzzle, and adventure that will delight slasher fans with plenty of camp and solid storytelling.
Rounding things off, Killer Frequency is a good use of your gaming time. It is well-written, nicely voice-acted, fairly short, and can be seriously creepy at times. Fans of slasher films will have a blast playing this. While I think it would probably be best experienced in VR, it is worth experiencing on a console.
Killer Frequency is a fantastic horror/comedy that, with minimal changes, shines on the Steam Deck.
If you're into adventure and puzzle games where you want to use the little grays a bit, Killer Frequency is a nice and slightly different take on a game in that genre. But it's not a game for everyone.
Killer Frequency is a game with an interesting and unique concept and plenty of tension-filled, slightly comedic horror throughout. Anyone who’s a fan of radio-drama-type horror is in for a real treat with this title.
Killer Frequency casts the player as late night radio show host Forrest Nash, who is roped in to help with saving the inhabitants of a sleepy town from a masked serial killer on the loose. It's far from the only game with a slasher focus - and The Quarry even has some 1980s outfits for its characters - but where Killer Frequency differs is that the player has the restriction of remaining in the studio at all times. How much can they help at a distance, and can they solve the mystery of the killer's identity?
