A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Synopsis:
-"I know every nook and cranny of this place."
-"All you have to do is listen to my voice and do exactly as I say."
-"As long as you trust me, you’ll find your way around."
Such are the words of the mysterious voice who talks to you through a radio. It wants to guide your path as you traverse a dilapidated hospital in the middle of the night. Your objective: to reach Room 521, and meet the patient awaiting for you there.
But this is not an ordinary hospital: it is a place forgotten by the world, where people come to die. And you're not the only living being lurking its halls. Will you reach Room 521 in one piece? Who is the mysterious voice guiding you through the radio? And can you really trust them?
Just remember: never turn the radio off.

I loved this so much
what happened to the dev ı am just curious is he fine ı just wanted to check twitter after finishşng this game but its banned
Amazing, games man! I hope to read more of your work in the future!
Just wanted to say i liked both of your games, a little sad that you haven't yet made more but looking forward to them if you ever do. Thanks for the short but lovely experience.
God this game had me tearing up towards the end but not because of the voice
(Manipulative asshole)pleading and trying to guilt trip us. It was more because I felt genuinely bad for our character, the woman in the hospital, and our first sin. All of those casualties and the MC's life turning bad could've been avoided if they had just never met the voice in the first place!I was almost moved to tears just seeing our character finally learn forgiveness and tune out their abuser's voice. It was extremely satisfying muting his voice during my last playthrough and not having to worry about hearing him again. You definitely need to make another game! 10/10!
This game was interesting. I loved the buildup and the manipulation at play. The game really made me feel for the main character.
放一个自己做的汉化在这,依然是机翻+人工校对修改。这是链接,如果失效了可以回复我一下。
之前看作者的游戏风格比较有意思就下载了,通了一部,这一部一直放这没玩。昨天闲着没事想起来了就翻出来玩,结果出乎意料的给我了一个惊喜。叙事、配音以及互动都不错,不过比较遗憾的是因为时间问题有很多内容没有添加进来。希望有生之年能有重制版。
Okay but let me talk about the voice.I used to hate the voice at first because he was an as*h*le. But once I heard him plead. I felt SO bad. It was really touching. Because all he wanted was just someone like him. A "monster". He doesnt see the good in himself and he doesnt want that his only friend (the only person who relates to him) does change and see the good in him. Overall I truly loved this game. Also the fact that bird will forgive you once you apologize. Love this game.
I finished all of the available endings and this is, genuinely, an amazing experience. Especially when one considers it was made in only 30 days. Wonderful work as always! I adore horror that leaves some important questions; the scariest things can often be found within your imagination.
loved it need more games like this nice horror chill
This game is incredible, love everything about it! The voice actor at the end made me choke up
Dude, this game is SO good.It reminds me of Markheim, by Robert Louis Stevenson. I just love the ending, and how you presented the story, the character and the hospital.
Also, great soundtrack! I really loved the piano music, and I really think it changes the game. The hospital could look like a scenery for a horror movie, but the soundtrack makes it look kinda beautiful.
Also nice graphics, and thanks for making a game like that free!
I really liked this!
This is so good. The voice actor for this is so good i almost cried listening to him plead. It made me kind of attached to him. It feels like he's so desperate to have someone to share his troubles with, someone alike him, that he goes against everything to keep you with him. He feels he can never be better, so you trying to change crushes him and he'll do anything to prevent it. I relate to that a lot. Not in a killing people kinda way, but you know. That's what i like about this game, you leave enough for interpretation that anyone can find something to relate to or just enjoy. Also i feel you would be so dang good at writing uhealthy romantic relationship visual novels and i wanna see that, but whatever you do make, i'm definitely sticking around to play it. Great job!!!
This Game Was Amazing ,You (in my Opinion) Make the best Visual Horror games. This and (Don't) Open Your eyes are My favoriteGames I've played yet
Also I love the Narrator
Thank you for sharing this game with us!
radio.Signal is an unparalleled experience with a nuanced narrative, evocative voice acting, and a unique premise - I still look back on it fondly, months after the initial playthrough.
For some reason the voice audio stopped. Even if I restart the game, or delete and redownload I can't hear the voice anymore. Is there a setting I accidently changed?
Probably too late but maybe you muted the radio?
best plot twist,i loved <3
i loved this game so much,it almost made me cry omg TwT
10/10 made me cry
so far sounds like Tartaglia is leading me through a hospital lol
Finally found the ost!!! It's Cobalt by Scott Buckley :D, not on Spotify tho.

Fascinating, I love the idea of the game and the way it was executed as well. I like the fact that the identity of the narrator is left out and will be looking for more games this developer!
Really like your unique horror titles. I would love to see you participate in my Game Jam. https://itch.io/jam/1-night-of-horror
Quite amazing. Feel a bit confuse
(and bored, sorry about that)at first, but shine perfectly at the end.Played through all the endings and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the game, got your message and it was really moving and motivating to keep working to improve myself and my gamedev skills! Thanks for making this
Wow, I wasn't so sure about this game at the start, but it really hit in the feels at the end. Damn fine job!
Absolutely loved the game, played this and (Don't) Open Your Eyes and I'm very excited to see what you do next! I also included you in an itch.io games video <3
The Greatest Horror Games' Developer returns! Really amazing game, buddy! Really enjoyed it! But I wasn't able to complete it in 1 episode so I made an entire series lol 😂. Anyways, here's the link! :https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP6iAdqvGsJ8U6TwEetyOkgjnD_ZPHD7H
BTW, Check the last episode for my feedback! Luv you guys' games and hope your next games comes out ASAP!
The radio.signal protagonist is like literally the most complex character in the history of visual novels, he's a terrible person but he knows it and feels bad about it which makes him not a terrible person by default even though he's done, and will continue to do, terrible stuff
this game is great! I was wondering - who did the music for the game? Soundtracks are my favorite and I loved the sadness in this music.
Wow. I loved this even more than (Don't) Open Your Eyes, which is saying something. I can't even begin to articulate my thoughts on it, much less in a way that wouldn't spoil the whole thing. I have just one thing to say:
You have no excuse for not playing this. Do it.
Really loved this and the small similarities to Don't open your eyes, like the whole "I know everything about this place", the self-loathing, the visuals... Though, this had a lot more *action*, especially when you (spoilers) had to follow the radio's instructions with the First Sin going after you! I also really liked you had more endings this time. All in all they had their similarities but they were both really great in their own different ways and I am looking forward to more games!
this was an amazing game .I loved all the different endings. On the 7th ending I felt like it was a time to listen to the author after we had our fun playing .We got a time to connect to the author and learn a bit about what went behind the game also credit to the voice actor like the emotion they put in it just made the whole game feel...real? I don't know how to put it but I loved the game and hope to see some more games in the future. PS. thank you for reading this long comment and thank you via for making awesome games have a nice day.
this was an absolutely beautiful game. not only was it good horror, but the layer of sadness underneath everything gave it such an emotional feel... i was near tears at the end. thank you for creating such a wonderful piece <3
I genuinely didn't know you were the Don't Open Your Eyes dev when I started. Love your stuff.
Very good, I liked the style of your writing.
A great game. The voice acting is really good. We got all 7 endings.
