Game Review: ‘Killer Frequency’

Two jobs that sound stressful and never should be combined a 911 operator and radio DJ. That’s what happens in Team 17’s first-person black comedy Killer Frequency! In Killer Frequency, players take on the role of Forest Nash, a late-night radio DJ who was given the task of also acting as a 911 operator after all the phones in the town that the station is in can’t make outside calls as the local serial killer long thought dead has returned, and Forest and his producer have to help callers from becoming the killer’s next victims. Now onto the game itself!

Since the game’s story is mainly told through sound,
