Hi all,

Today on steam we have new completely accessible game called Alt frequencies.
I just launched the game for a sec and everything is working using Unity's plugin to read through screen readers. I'll just paste the game's description and link below:




What happens when everyone is stuck in the same time loop, without knowing?

Alt-Frequencies is an audio mystery game where you use the airwaves to open the world’s eyes to the truth. Record, rewind time and broadcast snippets of radio shows to expose radio hosts, conspiracy theorists, politicians, underground activists - and a dog.

By redistributing information, you change what happens in the next 3 minute time loop and impact both news cycles and the lives of the people behind them.

Listen as their personal stories evolve, in a world that seems to stand still.




■ A new kind of narrative game that blurs the lines between the fantastical and the everyday while examining our relationship with mainstream media through the prism of radio stations.
■ Built-in accessibility features that make the game available to a wide range of people - including blind and visually impaired players.
■ Brought to life by a diverse cast of 20+ amazing voice performers, including TV, podcasts and YouTube personalities such as Jasika Nicole (Fringe, Welcome to Night Vale & Mike Rugnetta (Reasonably Sound, CrashCourse).
■ By the studio behind the critically acclaimed A Normal Lost Phone and Another Lost Phone: Laura’s Story.

It's also available for iPhone and Android.
I've been looking forward to this one!

Love the game so far, still have yet to figure out everything but love it all the same. Lol.

I'm assuming this is accessible on IOS as well? I'll definitely buy it if so, this sounds interesting.

The glass is neither half empty nor half full. It's just holding half the amount it can potentially hold.

2019-05-17 01:18:37

Yep, it's accessible on IOS as well. Got it for both.

Wonder if this is the same games I bought some years ago where I had to turn my device all these different ways.

2019-05-17 02:12:56

Nop, it shares some aspects with it, but it's quite different actually.
From what I've seen so far, I can allready tell that the game itself is really really cool. I think there's a little bug with the pausing system, since my escape key doesn't bring me back to the game's menu. I had to force quit. I hope my save file wasn't corrupted in the process...

Best regard,
Simon

ah so it's not just me who's experiencing this bug with the escape key not working for opening and closing the pause menu. Works on the phone just fine.

I heard about this a little while ago. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks, @lirin for the heads up.

2019-05-17 06:45:11

is this just another freeq? remember that game where you listen in to the stories? is it a short game? just curious? do you have solve puzzles or just keep putting together stories?

2019-05-17 06:55:51

Hi all,
it seems that I can't change something in the game. If I play the tutorial it only works if the woman says I should press the menu button but if I should look for a new frequency, nothing happens, I can press every key but nothing happens.

Could someone help, please?

Greetings,
Janagirl!

@janagirl did you follow the prompt that showed up when you started a new game? By default the game uses on-screen buttons you need to click on, to fix it go to settings -> controls and change it to physical.

I think the pause button thing is a bug. I changed my menu key to s and it suddenly started working. The strange thing is that hitting escape also brings up the pause menu, even when escape isn't the open/close menu key. I guess the menu back is also mapped to pause for some reason.

Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

It's a good concept.
Now, I'm lock at the chapter 5. Someone know how many chapter there are?

2019-05-17 20:41:34

I bought it on iOS and it is accessible. The problem is I can't get past chapter 4 part 2. I must not be doing something right.

Power is not the responsibility of freedom, but it is actually the responsibility of being responsible, it's self, because someone who is irresponsible is enslaved by their own weaknesses.

2019-05-18 06:54:48

I'm playing slowly, so only on Chapter 2.
But I am loving it!
The voice acting is fantastic, the puzzles make you think, and I'm using the gestures on the phone so it's easier than looking for the on-screen buttons.
Such a cool concept for a game!

Hey guys. I was looking through twitter a bit ago. and I saw that a friend retweeted this about the game.

Hi,
Will be buying this on IOS soon, but Lirin, you may want to edit the first post or topic subject and mention that its available and accessible on other platforms such as IOS and possibly android too?
  Would help the game with more downloads and purchases.

i'm stuck in chapter 2.
Spoilers for anyone who's not that far.
You send the message about the person leading the group who activated the time loop to the student radeo and they go to investigate.
Music plays but before they can come back time rewinds.
the message is autosent again, what do i do now?
I've tried fast forwarding through the song but nope it still rewinds.

Hi.
Thanks to @Lirin for sharing this.
Wow, the game is amazing. I have played through it on IOS, and I can't recommend it enough.
There are 5 chapters, and the game is not easy to beat in my opinion. There are a lot of achievements to unlock as well.
THis game is extremely well made. Regarding audio languages, it is both in English, German and French. The voice acting is extremely well done. Just wow...

Best regards SLJ.

Most of the stations in this chapter are automated. Going by the hint, you have to send the automated student station messages somewhere.

But I'm not sure where that is...

2019-05-20 23:42:41

is their a play through of one of the chapters before I decide if I want to buy it?

I mean, I guess I could do a somewhat of a playthrough when I have some time this week, but I won't play through the whole thing and in my view, it's kind of short but what do I know. I kind of beat the damn thing in like an hour and a but that's with me not knowing a whole lot about it. Now I'm betting I can play through the whole thing in under 20 minutes. Lol.

@Orin:
I don't remember this for sure:
Spoiler
1. If this is the part where the girl at the students station tells what to do in three steps, you need to broadcast those three steps, and also some of the other things she is saying. I don't remember exactly what else to broadcast accept for the three steps.
2. If it's the part where some of the channels are completely silent and people are asked to submit their choice:
Hint: Pay attention to the songs.

Best regards SLJ.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if the ending where you have to submit your choice is the only ending or if there are multple endings?

Greetings and happy gaming, Julian

I'm not sure if there are multiple endings. But it seems like there are achievements for all the choices.
