Game description
Dead Air is an atmospheric isolationist horror game about mysterious radio transmissions. You play as a lone Soviet soldier manning a listening outpost somewhere in Siberia, 1976. Your mission is to decode and listen to incoming enemy radio transmissions.

Theme interpretation
In my game the player needs to "decode" incoming waveform radio transmissions by matching frequency and amplitude to an incoming signal. Radio waves in other words.

The retro ps1 graphics are really nostalgic and I was loving looking at every asset in detail, really cool.

I do think the creature could be a little more ambiguous in its presentation, but that's my only real nit-pick.. 

Loved the setting, the view from the window and the posters especially. Also good job for adding a get unstuck command, I thought I was.. Well.. Stuck.. And then that popped up.

We also used a sine wave as one of our minigames so it was interesting to compare the two, overall top quality submission.

woahhhh sick worldbuilding, very intense, I love the fact that being forced to go to sleep every time triggers new events to build the tension, very well done! The end gave me chills I must admit hahah

one tiny nitpick I have about all first person games is that you really need a mouse sensitivity slider at least, but no biggie :)

amazing graphics with an inmersive atmosphere. Kinda wished for more variety or something to happen, but with the narrative I can see why that isn't the case.

The graphics are just amazing and very inmersive. I would definitely play a larger version of this.
