Revealing Radiolight - Where Terror Lurks Beyond The Trails in This '80s Thriller Game
Announcing Radiolight: Solo Developer Krystof Knesl Unveils his Atmospheric '80s Supernatural Thriller
Haarlem, Netherlands, November 4th 2024 — Indie developer Krystof Knesl and publisher Iceberg Interactive invite players to hike in the stunning nature of Ashwood Creek National Park in Radiolight, a captivating and atmospheric thriller set in the isolated forests of 1980s America. Radiolight promises a petrifying journey of suspense, survival, and the supernatural.
In Radiolight, players assume the role of Ethan, a police officer in the town of Ashwood Creek, who is drawn into his own past after a local teenager goes missing under mysterious circumstances. Set in 1985, this narrative twists through foggy valleys and towering pines where secrets lie hidden beneath a seemingly tranquil surface.
Guided by the voice of his friend and police chief Robert, Ethan delves deeper and deeper. His investigation turns into a chilling mission to uncover the truth enthralled by eerie signals: haunting radio interferences that lure him further into the unknown.
About the game
At its heart, Radiolight is an atmospheric, story-rich thriller with an investigative radio mechanic. Tuning into supernatural frequencies becomes essential to the journey, revealing clues and leading players toward hidden truths… or deeper into peril. Players must interpret cryptic messages, supernatural signals, and ghostly echoes of the past, whilst relying on their survival instincts.
"Radiolight began as a vision back in 2018," says Krystof Knesl, a Czech developer whose journey started with a love for film and storytelling. "I grew up wanting to be a movie director, but I found my true passion in the immersive world of games. I started by publishing small projects on itch.io, but it quickly became clear I wanted to create something more ambitious.”
"Radiolight is my debut title, developed over four years," Krystof explains. "My goal is to craft an intense, memorable experience that combines my favourite storytelling elements into a mind-bending narrative with gameplay that resonates deeply with players."
