Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.67/day in the week to Aug 4 → 1.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Such a great game, amazing story with an unbelievable soundtrack 10/10 all day
Eu realmente gostei desse jogo, pra caramba, esse jogo basicamente pegou tudo de filmes slasher, assassino persegue um grupo de vítimas, o assassino não fala nada, e a estética anos 80, caramba me senti confortável, bem já verdade nas partes onde a gente buscar coisas pra tentar salvar alguém eles literalmente colocaram o monte de relógios, e isso me deixava nervoso mas não se preocupe eu acho que vc pode se concertar pra coleta bastante informações, mas tbm tem momentos de pausa pra vc respirar e tbm explorar e conseguir achar os discos de vinil Sobre os puzzles (acho que pra mim não é considerado puzzles) eu não achei difícil e fácil pra conseguir salvar as vítimas, na minha primeira jogaria eu apenas não conseguir salvar uma vítimas (okay, vou ser honesto, era pra ter morrido 4 pessoas, mas considerei que s poderia ter uma segunda chance 3 vezes) Enfim amei bastante as músicas e tbm as referências aos filmes slasher, tem o nome de uma rua com o sobrenome de um dos assasinos dos filmes slasher (se vc saber qual, me responde hehe) Enfim se vc gosta dos anos 80, filmes de terror slasher e uma boa trama e suas ações podem salvar ou fazer vítimas morrer então esse jogo e literalmente pra vc Oh é recomendo que vc use fones de ouvido pra melhorar sua experiência... 🔪😚🎵

Really good game
really good game will make u cry
[h1]Video Killed The Radio Star?[/h1] [i]Killer Frequency[/i], ambientato nella notte tra il 2 e il 3 settembre del 1987, ci fa vestire i panni di Forrest Nash, il nuovo conduttore radiofonico del talk show notturno "L'urlo", presso la stazione radio KFAM, nella cittadina rurale di Gallows Creek, Iowa. Durante la notte Forrest, insieme alla sua produttrice Peggy Weaver, si ritroverà ad aiutare gli abitanti della cittadina a sfuggire dalle grinfie di un misterioso serial killer noto come "Il Fischiatore", apparentemente tornato in vita trent'anni dopo la sua morte. In continuità con la nostalgia per gli anni '80 di quest'ultimi anni, [i]Killer Frequency[/i] pesca a piene mani dall'immaginario collettivo dell'epoca, rifacendosi in particolar modo a grandi classici del sottogenere horror 'slasher' quali [i]Halloween[/i], [i]Venerdì 13[/i] e altri horror come la saga di Scream (anche se iniziata negli anni '90) e, soprattutto, il meraviglioso [i]The Fog[/i] di John Carpenter, da cui il gioco trae spunto per il suo protagonista principale: la stazione radio. È infatti la radio l'unico modo che hanno Forrest e Peggy per cercare di salvare coloro che vengono braccati dal killer, personaggi che appaiono al protagonista come delle "semplici" voci al telefono, ma che sono comunque caratterizzati molto bene grazie ad una scrittura solida e a degli ottimi dialoghi, con alcuni momenti comici ben piazzati che diluiscono la tensione e strappano qualche risata di gusto. Per cercare di salvare le persone dal serial killer, si dovranno affrontare una serie di puzzle, quiz e rompicapo non molto difficili nel complesso, ma ben costruiti, e che possono essere ulteriormente complicati dall'atmosfera ansiogena che verrà pian piano a montare: [i]"Che il killer possa aggirarsi anche al di fuori della stazione radio? Potremmo essere una delle prossime vittime? Dovrei controllare porte e finestre?"[/i] Inoltre, man mano che si procede con la storia, si avrà accesso a svariate aree della stazione radio e si potrà anche condurre una vera e propria indagine sulla natura del killer e sulle sue eventuali motivazioni. Chiaramente, non aspettatevi sequenze action, si tratta di un'avventura quasi esclusivamente narrativa che punta molto sull'atmosfera e l'aspetto psicologico, con un buon ritmo ma che potrebbe annoiare chi non è avvezzo a questo genere di giochi. L'ambientazione, fatta di vinili, cassette, apparecchiature radio, machine da scrivere e luci al neon è meravigliosa, anche grazie alla grafica stile cel-shading che dà al tutto un aspetto "fumettoso", di gran lunga più gradevole in questo caso rispetto ad uno stile grafico realistico. Una menzione onorevole va fatta alla colonna sonora originale, composta da una serie di brani synth-pop, glam-rock, elettronici che fanno il verso alla musica di quegli anni. Nel complesso, [i]Killer Frequency[/i] è un ottimo rompicapo che flirta efficacemente con il thriller, l'horror/slasher e il giallo classico (del tipo 'whodunit?'), con una buona trama, ricca di colpi di scena (alcuni forse un po' telefonati...ehi, proprio come i B-movie anni '80!), ma che riesce ad immergere in quella "notte degli '80, con quest'ambientazione che sprizza anche un po' di Stephen King da tutti i pori.
great game!
Eu amei cada segundo do jogo!
Kurzweiliger Thriller im 80er Jahre Horrorfilmsetting STORY 9/10 Die Story beginnt recht unspektakulär, nimmt aber schnell Fahrt auf. Viel kann man dazu nicht schreiben, da ich keine möglichen Spoiler nennen will. Die Story glänzt durch die nahbaren Charaktere und das Ambiente, welche einen wirklich ins Spiel eintauchen lassen. Die Rätsel sind in Ordnung, manche sind schwerer, manche sind leichter. MISSIONSDESIGN -/- KI -/- GRAFIK 8/10 Die Grafik passt zum Setting, ist jetzt nichts außergewöhnliches. SOUND 10/10 Die Musik (Schallplatten) ist super, richtig stimmig. Der Soundtrack an sich ist auch sehr gut umgesetzt und erzeugt dauerhaft eine bedrohliche Atmosphäre. Gerade die Spiele, die auf weniger Schockmomente setzen, können mit einem guten Soundtrack viel rausholen, das ist dem Spiel meiner Meinung nach gelungen. Fazit: Ich fand das Spiel einfach super, es war mal etwas ganz anderes und man hat sich in einen der alten 80er Jahre Horrorfilme zurückversetzt gefühlt. Diesbezüglich gibt es im Spiel auch einige Anspielungen. Ich habe das Spiel im Sale für ca. 4 € gekauft, dafür bekommt man einen Abend lang (oder auf zwei Abende verteilt) eine spannende und unterhaltsame Story präsentiert. Gerne mehr von Spielen dieser Art. GESAMT 27/30
The start was kinda slow and draining, but the story became quite interesting a little further in. I would say it was a pretty solid game overall.
genial!!!
