A common misconception with video games is that everything has to be a certain way or look a certain way. Even with beloved and niche genres, there are “expectations” that are meant to be broken. That’s why the game Radiotext is so interesting, as it’s a cyberpunk-style RPG where your words are more important than any weapon you could possibly have. Don’t believe us? Then check out this synopsis and the trailer for the game:

“You’re given a USB stick by a stranger in a quiet alley, inside is a long-abandoned 90s communication network, and it’s up to you to piece together what’s really going on, choosing your words carefully as you talk your way through forgotten channels and uncover a cyber activist uprising fought entirely over these airwaves.”

Not what you were expecting, right? But that’s part of the joy of the title! These key features for the game help emphasize even more all that’s going on within it:

• Immersive Retro Interface: Old Terminal Aesthetic combined with a typing mechanic and authentic sound effects.
• Unforgettable Characters: More than 12 Characters with deeply woven stories to unravel.
• Branching and Interconnecting Narrative Paths: One’s blessing or curse might come back in another conversation. Choose your answers wisely.
• Customizable UI: Make the terminal your own with desired colors and node placement.
• Hidden Choices: Not every option you can pick is in plain sight. There are other hidden words to choose some paths.

• 3-4 Hour Gameplay: Designed to be completed in a short time, offering a complete experience without requiring a major time investment.

• Replayability: The story ends. But the network doesn’t. There are other paths to follow. Each approach results in a unique way to experience the story.
