Press release:
Monday, 20 February 2023.
The Wakefield-based (the UK) indie games publisher and developer Team 17, are today very thrilled and happy to announce 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 PCVR via Steam and Meta Quest 2 this Summer (2023).

Furthermore, Team 17 has also just announced that they have released the very first gameplay trailer for “Killer Frequency”. So be sure to check that one out! (you can watch the said trailer further down the page!).

Set during the 1980s in a Midwestern US town where a serial killer is on the loose, Killer Frequency follows Forrest Nash, a washed-up DJ and presenter of the ‘The Scream’ late night show, as he tries to help listeners and callers stalked by a mysterious masked murderer.

As the gruesome night unfolds, interact with callers to the show using a variety of conversation options while listening carefully for clues and information, solve puzzles around the studio that could help prevent their grisly demise, and keep the show going with tunes inspired by the decade. In Killer Frequency, death can come easy but is never assured, so it’s up to you to help Forrest prevent the slaughter, discover the killer’s true identity, and keep the grooves going until dawn.

Killer Frequency Key Features

Stay on air: 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
Stop the slaughter: Take calls from potential victims while gathering clues, making decisions, and solving satisfying puzzles that could help each caller survive the night
Unmask the killer: 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
All can live or die: 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?
Play on flatscreen and in VR: Available on Steam in flatscreen and built from the ground-up for the Meta Quest 2 at 72 frames-per-second for a latency-free experience
