Killer Frequency: The Monster Live
The year is 1987, in the US city of Gallows Creek, a name that says it all. We play the disgraced presenter Forrest Nash, a radio host, who ended up working as a DJ for the local station and working on a little-heard nighttime show. From the assumptions we’d say it promises to be a flat and uninspiring experience, but We don’t know that we will soon be amazed…

No, Killer Frequency is different in that it chooses a different way of telling a story. And with gods Multiple Choice Dialogues and alternate endings, what can go wrong?

In general, Killer Frequency does a good job of setting the tone for all situations, masterfully alternating moments of fun and sarcasm with dark or spooky sequences.
Clearly one of the funniest and most creative parts of this experience enriched by the immersiveness of virtual realityarises from the series of involuntary mistakes that we might make during the Head of our radio show. In fact, a funny sound effect might accidentally play while our listeners are telling us they found a body. It will be even funnier if you draw our attention to this, filmed by our assistant To deceive Just finished. It’s little details like this that make a gaming experience as fun and enjoyable as possible!

Killer Frequency: The show must go on!
If something is wrong or expected during a live event, as the British say, the show must go on. “Killer Frequency” is undoubtedly a track that does an excellent job in terms of atmosphere. A game that also shines through the soundtrackthat is in no way inferior to the original masterpieces of the 80s. We must pay attention to two other elements: fluidity and optimization for the viewer.
Based on the latter, we can roughly say independent viewer OculusQuest 2 by Meta The title does an excellent job of reducing to zero frame drops and all other unwanted effects that could cause motion sickness: when developing a game for VR it is important to fight these phenomena because they cause physical discomfort in players being able to lead. However, if we think about Killer Frequency’s fluidity, we might notice some painful keys.
The title has two movement modes: the classicin which we can move only through a pointer, teleporting to the indicated position and there secondsuitable for those with more VR experience, with fluid movements and similar to that on the controller. Despite these precautions Game and movement mechanics only insufficiently exploit the potential of the Oculus controllerWe don’t allow ourselves the full use of our fingers, but limit ourselves to the organic interaction with the props and game elements on stage. the objects themselves Although they appear detailed, they are mostly staticand the few interactive objects react badly when used.
Killer Frequency is a great mix of puzzle mechanics and horror plot spiced with humor; The title passes the VR exam with flying colors and turns out to be a well-optimized work, suitable for both experts and novices in virtual reality. With an excellent design and an excellent soundtrack, it immerses you very well in the environment, provided that you can forgive some shortcomings. But don’t worry, this is a short-lived but promising game. We encourage you to try it!
