Alt-Frequencies is an audio mystery game that poses an intriguing question: what happens when everyone is stuck in the same time loop without knowing it? In this unique narrative game, you use the radio airwaves to open the world’s eyes to the truth. The entire story is brought to life by a diverse cast of over 20 voice performers, creating an immersive auditory experience.
Your primary tools are the ability to record, rewind time, and broadcast snippets of various radio shows. By carefully selecting and redistributing information, you change the events of the next three-minute time loop. Your choices directly impact the news cycles and the personal stories of the people behind the voices—including radio hosts, conspiracy theorists, politicians, underground activists, and even a dog. As you listen, their stories evolve based on your actions, even in a world that otherwise seems to stand still.
The game blurs the lines between the fantastical and the everyday, examining our relationship with mainstream media through the unique prism of competing radio stations. With built-in accessibility features, the experience is made available to a wide range of people, including blind players who can fully engage with the audio-centric gameplay.
Alt-Frequencies offers a distinct kind of interactive story where manipulating information and listening closely are the keys to unraveling a time-bending mystery and changing the fate of those trapped within it.
