Static Signal
The station is quiet. The signal is not.
Operate the station, receive increasingly strange transmissions, investigate disturbing events, and make decisions that affect the developing mystery.
Overview
Listen closely. Decide deliberately.
Static Signal is a single-player supernatural thriller set at Blackthorn Ridge Emergency Relay Station in October 1998. As the replacement night operator, you tune into anomalous transmissions, interpret what they mean, and decide what to archive, suppress, broadcast, answer, forward, ignore, or investigate.
Make the call
Your handling of each transmission changes what follows. Decisions persist across five shifts and lead toward three endings.
Stay at the console
The experience is built as a focused offline single-player game with no account requirement, advertising, or in-app purchases.
