Hey all you airheads and most excellent dudes and dudettes out there, its time to confuse the kids with floppy disks, cassettes and talk radio, with Killer Frequency. A VR/non VR horror adventure puzzle game centered around a disk-jockey demoted from the big city to the backwoods of nowhere in 1987, and you are that disk jockey. So Mr.DJ come turn the music up, and unravel the dirty secrets that plague small-town America.
While the game can be played with or without VR, it is advisable to take a tab or two of acid and play on VR, to get the full experience. Really though,, it plays a bit better and is worth the price tag more when played on VR. The game only boasts a run time of roughly 5 hours, so you'll need to find a Phish album for the other 11 hours of your trip. There is a bit of replay value in that much like a Suicide Hotline Phone Operator, the people you're helping can die if you fuck-up. With that, I'll refrain from spoilers, but I can mention that while they can die, most of the puzzles involved aren't too complicated, so there is a solid chance that you'll make it through on you're first go of it, though, the hallucinations may make it a bit harder for you. That said, I actually quite liked most of the puzzles put forth, some were pretty creative. The narrative retains a horror movie vibe, and has a general creepiness to it, but it isn't all that scary.
The tunes aren't bad
We're gonna keep this review like the game, short and sweet. If you have you're going to be playing on a VR set-up its a solid 7.5/10 experience, if you're playing without one its more 6.5/10, mostly due to it's short length, and it suffers a little something playing on a conventional screen, comparatively. So, we'll split the difference and call it a 7, more worth it's price on VR.
