The Radio Tower, a brief first-person horror adventure game, requires players to climb a large radio tower on the fringe of an evacuation zone to restore city connections. You'll want to finish this game's odd, unsettling plot set in a distant woodland.
You are John, a worker whose job it is to take care of the world's biggest buildings. This time, the call comes from Crimsonpine, a small city that is quarantined for unknown reasons. The transmission tower that it used has been taken down. It's up to you to fix it.
Putting it together sounds easy. It's not. Players ascend, making the woodland below feel more like a watcher. A fun feature of the game is that quarantine is never explained. The game trusts you to enjoy the surprise.
The Radio Tower is not long. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to play, based on how careful you are with each ladder step.
Things stay tight at The Radio Tower. There are five awards that make people want to play again, and a choice you make near the end of the run will link to two different endings. The loop is made up of heights, being alone, and a thing you don't want to get too close to.
Short horror games depend on mood, and this one lives up to its length. The low-poly graphics are good because they leave enough blanks for your brain to fill in the bad parts. You can pet the cat, too.
