10 itemsAbout the Game
In a quiet alley next to a busy street, you are handed a usb stick by a woman you don't know. If you want to see what's inside, plug it in.
Radiotext is a software built in the 90's, allowing people to communicate using radio-waves. In this the long lost network, you are a newcomer, a stranger. By talking with the users inside, piece what is going on in this old net and be part of the culture.
Establish links across forgotten channels. Meet with lives left behind. Some are friendly. Some are broken. Some aren't alive. Learn and adapt to your new environment.
Dive deep inside the long-lost communication network and explore the wideband. There are weird people to talk and various mysteries to be solved inside your terminal. Hear static whispers. Decipher frequencies. Piece together the deeper story inside the noise.
They will ask who you side with. The answers you give ripple across the net. Trust is fragile. Some of them lie, some tell too much. And there might be a mole inside.
