This urban legend-esque plot is the story of Killer Frequency, a game from Team17 Digital. Set in 1987, you are Forrest Nash, a once high-flying DJ with millions of listeners.
But, thanks to “The Incident,” you have been relegated to the graveyard shift of Gallows Creek radio station, which is lucky if it gets 25 listeners. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
KILLER FREQUENCY LEANS HEAVILY INTO THE SLASHER/COMEDY GENRE
The films everyone touts as “so-bad-it’s-good” are emulated in Killer Frequency, with plenty of extra cheese thrown in for good measure.
The game actually began life as a part of a game jam and was initially made in just two weeks back in 2019. Since then, the game has had a visual overhaul and a concept tweak to make it what it is now.
If you aren’t arthritic and playing on the Switch, that is. I’ll get the gripes out of the way early on because this genuinely seems like a platform issue rather than an overall game issue.
I had not considered the controls when I grabbed it for the Switch, which I really have to remember to consider. Joy-Cons are not great for nuance, so I found it frustrating attempting to select an interactable object.
