The year is 1987, and as the clock strikes midnight in small-town Gallows Creek, USA. Big city radio DJ Forrest Nash is live on air in what will turn out to be the graveyard shift of a lifetime…

In this horror comedy, you must solve puzzles to save callers from being hunted down by a mysterious killer. Where every call is life and death, can you save the inhabitants of Gallows Creek?

FEATURES

Unique First Person Narrative: Step into the shoes of a late-night radio talk-show host - new in town and fallen from grace. The Police Chief is dead… so the townsfolk turn to you for help, as apparently you, Forest Nash are the only person in town who can run a phone line.

Real Time Decision Making & Puzzles: Use branching dialogues to interact with a variety of eccentric small-town personalities including potential victims and suspects. Explore your surroundings, gather clues, make decisions, solve satisfying riddles, and try to help each of your callers survive the night.

Retro Slasher Setting: Jump back in time to 1987 with this slasher inspired puzzler - explore an authentically detailed radio station and interact with dozens of physics-based objects straight from a bygone era, including a working cassette and record player. With a fully voiced cast and a killer original soundtrack of 80's inspired tunes from rock classics to synthwave!

Definitely a rental. But it's good!

I gave this game an 8. I was enterained from beginning to end. Sometimes I get curious about horror games, so I will rent one here & there. The game is mainly point & click, looking for clues & evidence to solve the situation at hand. I'd say it's definitely worth a 2nd playthrough to see if you can get different results or get all the trophies.

Fun little experience

This game is great if you're not into FPS, stress inducing time limits, or jump scares and are looking for a quick, mindless experience. A lot of similarities between this game and the podcasts Welcome to Night Vale and King Falls AM. Similar in style to route 96 or Lake. Unique, intriguing graphics and color schemes create a nice ambiance paired with the music selections. This is certainly more of an experiential, story driven game than anything else - more like an interactive story, think Crimson Spires. Enough details to spend a good amount of time exploring the curated radio station. Could easily be considered boring by more active, competitive players. Could play it through twice before needing a long break to revisit.

A fun and unique title

This game was a great change of pace. It plays in the neighborhood of a TellTale game, the whole choose your own adventure idea. You have to solve a series of puzzles in order to prevent a serial killer from slaying townsfolk around Gallows Creek. The game isn't long at all, meaning it's better rented than bought, but it's a lot of fun and worth the play!

one of the worst games ive ever played

I have rented dozens of games from GameFly and this is hands down the worst game I have ever rented. It is so boring. You spend most of your time standing in one spot as a radio dj engaged in a terrible story. It fails miserably at being funny or fun. I can tell it's an easy platinum trophy but it wasn't event worth it. I gave it a good solid 2 plus hrs which is was probably close to half way for an indie game like this and couldn't finish it. I can't believe other people on here actually liked it.

Genuinely Fantastic Horror-Puzzler!

Admittedly I hadn't heard about this game until I was browsing recent releases and it looked interesting enough so I decided to try it out as a little Halloween themed game. I can 100% recommend this game to anyone even slightly intrigued by it, the cast does an amazing job at portraying all the different characters extremely well which helps elevate the amazing story to the next level. While it is very light on the horror elements the atmosphere the game creates will certainly leave you feeling a bit anxious as you play through the game (in a good way!). If you're looking to try the game I'd recommend to go into it completely blind, just know that if you're into any kind of point and click adventure style games then this will absolutely do it for you, but even if that's not usually your jam I still feel like it's a solid recommend for the steller world building and story telling alone.
