Do you want to spend some time in the dark streets and woods of a Polish town in the early 2000s? I do, which is why I am listening to Krypta FM and sharing with you that it exists. On Krypta FM, you will go on an authentic cryptid investigation in Gozdary, Poland, where you will take pictures of things, post on forums, and listen to radio broadcasts in between walks around the town.
On the surface, it's a horror game, but it's more of an exploration set in a nostalgic environment and with fun content to read. Give it a try, take in the sights, enjoy the post-Soviet cars and buildings. “I came for the horror, but I stayed for the people.” read Player review.
The town is haunted by some unexplainable occurrences and people talk about it a lot. Your job is to work with other investigators and explore the surroundings (often at night) to find out if the supposed Beast of Gozdary is behind it all. I'm really excited about this environment, especially the rugged world design and taking pictures of strange things to share on the internet with an early plastic digital camera, like the weirdest kid in school in 2004.
I always like the weird little details in these kinds of indie games. Like, for example, the sheer variety of stuff on our protagonist’s corkboard. There’s a sci-fi poster, yes, and a newspaper article with a UFO on it. There’s also… a three-part diagram of a blender. But most of all, there’s the massive cabinet/shelves/cupboard/desk combination that takes up one whole end of the room and contains a PC station. They were everywhere, for a long time, and the only thing that killed them was that computer monitors are no longer gigantic things that weigh as much as a three-year-old.
It's a title that's been very popular with those who have taken the time to try it so far: 95% of reviews on Steam are positive at the time of its release. That's no guarantee of quality, but it's a sign that fans of the genre probably won't regret trying it. You can find Krypta FM on Steam and itching.io free.
