Killer Frequency is an adventure game with a horror comedy tone. It was developed by Team17, known worldwide for the Worms series, and inspired by popular slasher movies.
Killer Frequency takes place in the 1980s United States, specifically - inside a KFAM radio station in the town of Gallows Creek. The main protagonist is a radio DJ, who receives a strange phone call right after starting his shift. What he learns during the call completely changes the course of what was supposed to be a quiet night...
The gameplay in Killer Frequency is shown from the first-person perspective (FPP). During the game the player explores a large radio station, covering the area of one square kilometer. Aside from that, we can talk to the eccentric townspeople, collect clues and solve puzzles using items from days past, such as a tape recorder or a gramophone. In addition we can make decisions which affect both us and the other residents of Gallows Creek; their (and our) fates are in our hands, and it is up to us whether they'll survive the night.
The graphics of Killer Frequency have been made with use of cel-shading. The soundtrack was inspired by 1980s music, consisting of rock and electronic (including synthwave) tracks.

Game Ratings for Killer Frequency Video Game.
VGChartz: 8 / 10 by Lee Mehr
Pairing 80s camp and sharp writing with meaningful subtext in its game design, Killer Frequency carves out a special place among modern horror titles.
Slant Magazine: 4 / 5 by Aaron Riccio
Most radio shows have a clear and compelling sense of identity—some sort of distinguishing characteristic that they commit to. That certainly applies to Killer Frequency itself, as it’s a stylishly campy ode to ’80s slashers that’s as unpredictable as it is breezily entertaining. Which isn’t to say that it’s a featherweight experience. The game, after all, touches on the almost sycophantic relationship between a killer who wouldn’t be as feared without news coverage and a show which would have far fewer listeners without relaying said coverage. In all, Killer Frequency is an accessible, relatable adventure that won’t leave you wanting to touch that dial.
GBAtemp: 7.8 / 10 by Ben Sellwood
This game is good, but you have to understand that it's not an action-packed title, it's more finite information gathering, a kind of call centre simulation, with quick time events that determine the fate of the helpless prey.
