Alt-Frequencies is an innovative narrative audio game that puts storytelling at the center of its experience. Instead of traditional visuals or direct character control, the game is played entirely through radio broadcasts. You wake up trapped in a time loop, reliving the same day over and over, with only a radio at your disposal. By tuning into different stations, recording snippets of dialogue, and rebroadcasting them on other frequencies, you gradually influence events and uncover the truth behind the loop.
The game explores themes of media manipulation, truth, censorship, and power, all delivered through voice acting, sound design, and clever writing. Each radio host, caller, and guest brings a unique perspective, creating a rich audio landscape that feels alive and reactive. Progression comes from experimentation—figuring out which audio clips to replay and when—rather than puzzles in the traditional sense. With its accessible design, Alt-Frequencies can be played entirely with a mouse or keyboard and is also friendly to visually impaired players. Short, smart, and thought-provoking, it’s a standout experience for players who enjoy narrative experimentation and unconventional game design.
