Press release:
Thursday, 9 June 2022.
The Wakefield-based (the UK) indie games publisher and developer Team 17 today announced with great thrill and joy that their 1980s-themed VR horror-comedy game “Killer Frequency” (which is set in a 1980s mid-American town where a serial killer is on the loose looking to maximize their kill count), is coming to PC via Steam and Meta Quest 2 via flat-screen mode in 2022.

“Killer Frequency” marks Team17’s first development foray into VR, and sees players take the night shift at the local radio station and help listeners as they’re stalked by the mysterious masked killer.

As the gruesome night unfolds, interact with callers using a variety of conversation options while listening carefully for clues and information, solve puzzles around the studio that could help prevent each caller’s grisly demise, and keep the show going with tunes inspired by the decade. Players can also explore the studio building, and interact with authentic items from the era, including a working turntable and a cassette player.

Killer Frequency Key features:

Unique horror-themed radio DJ experience: Take control of the switchboard and explore an authentic 1980s radio studio as you guide the fates of your late-night listeners stalked by a mysterious killer
Real-time decision making and puzzle solving: Take calls from potential victims while gathering clues, making decisions, and solving satisfying puzzles that could help each caller survive the night
Fully voice-acted story & retro ‘80s-inspired soundtrack: Interact with a variety of larger-than-life personalities including callers, potential suspects, and a charismatic producer while jamming to a jukebox of 1980s-inspired tunes
Optimised for VR and flat screen: Built from the ground-up for the Meta Quest 2 at 72 frames-per-second for a latency-free experience, and available in flat screen mode on Steam
Branching dialogue options and multiple endings: Choose from a variety of conversation options to interact with callers – will you guide them to safety or broadcast their last moments live on air?

Killer Frequency is being developed internally by Team17. To keep up to date, wishlist the game on Steam now, like it on Facebook, and follow on Twitter.
