An otherwise well-produced game, with a great story, good voice acting , and great graphic/environmental design...is (IMHO) marred by: -Too-dark environments AT TIMES even for a night environment (the entire game takes place at night). So, despite having a low-light flashlight in the game, and a brightness-setting adjustment slider, even on the brightest setting it's sometimes too dark to see what's in front of you …

I played the demo a while back and knew I had to get the full version. And I'm glad I did, it's better than I expected. I love the Firewatch like art style and the atmosphere of the forest at night...there realy is something peaceful about the silence that comes with it. To be honest, I was expecting some obvious ending, but the game surprised me. Most of my theories midgame were wrong, it was really refreshing to …

Loved every single moment of this game. Like many others have said it's kind of like a horror version of Firewatch with a much darker atmosphere. Was extremely creepy at times and I really enjoyed slowly discovering the mystery on what was going on. It's a pretty short game but I think it works perfectly since it stops the game from ever feeling like it overstays its welcome. That said, I was left wanting more after …

A Story Told Through Static and Silence Radiolight is the kind of game that gets under your skin—not through jump scares (though it has a handful), but through quiet dread. You play as Ethan, a small-town policeman searching for a missing teenager in the fog-soaked woods of Ashwood Creek. Guided only by the trials, a map, and joined by the voice of your partner on your walkie, you’re drawn into something far …

This is my first ever demo for a game. I'd be thrilled if you played it and left a review! #indiegame #gamedev youtu.be/uYdDyG4an1c?...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finished the entire game and enjoyed every moment of it. Found little to no bugs to ruin the gameplay, and overall was dragged into the story quite well. Felt like I was left at a cliff hanger in the end of the game, and do wonder if there will be a follow up of this game to get a better understanding of what comes next! 10/10.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, spooky atmosphere, great at building suspense and tension. It really is Oxenfree (one of my favourite games) in a style akin to Firewatch, with a few new twists and ideas of its own. Some aspects reminded me a bit *too* much of Oxenfree in terms of story, but not to the point where it fully overshadowed this game's individuality. Definitely going to hop back in to discover more, since I feel like I didn't fully unravel the mystery on my first playthrough. Overall, it's a great game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Summary Very interesting game. The story got my attention. The adventure, though I got lost a few times, was enjoyable. The length isn't very long, depending on how you play. If thorough, it may take longer. If going for achieves, longer than thorough. :) I really enjoyed the journey. My Experience 3 Sep 2026 I really enjoyed this game. The journey was my favorite part. Getting the achieves took some times but I didn't mind. I did get lost a few times and with movement being rather slow,…

positive · AI labelView post →Solid 6/10 - Not a remarkable game, far too slow paced, some narrative nonsense tropes and the exploration aspects are tedious and far too linear. The game also refuses to stick to a single theme, and basically the story elements are all over the place. That said, I still enjoyed it, even if it was janky and weird. Worth getting on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Radiolight surprised me as it has that Firewatch feeling. Calm exploration mixed with mystery and a quietly eerie atmosphere. The story is well-told and kept me invested all the way through. If you enjoy story-driven games, it’s absolutely worth playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thank you devs, for Radiolight! I am one of many who loved the game Firewatch, and throughout my gameplay of this game on stream, I kept saying that this is like a darker, creepier version of that. Like siblings! I absolutley loved Radiolight and everything about it. So I really hope we will see more games like this from you guys! My playthrough of Radiolight: https://youtu.be/SJYMWQrbIqI?si=-1pzeIzeZJHQM9qw
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not what I was expecting. As a HUGE Firewatch fan, I went into Radiolight thinking it was cheap copycat, but when I got into the game, it actually took what Firewatch did and built upon that in many ways. I really enjoyed it, it lacked in some areas, while others were very good! As a speedrunner of Firewatch, I will most likely attempt a speedrun of Radiolight and see what can be accomplished and how I can break the game xD Gameplay- ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☑ Nothing special ☐ Okay ☐ Bad Graphics-…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2 hours of playing Radiolight, and I'm not even halfway through the game yet. So far, the music, atmosphere and environmental details have been outstanding. This game keeps the tension high throughout the whole forest. Can't say it's terrifying, more tense than scary. I wanted to play a game like Firewatch or Road 96, and here it is. Woods, great music, adventures, mystery. Perfect. Update: The end of the game... let's just say it was really unexpected. Overall, Radiolight is like a movie…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a good game until the final boss fight...this ending ruined this game and is not worth it! I deleted the game without finishing it. I've done this with maybe 3-4 games since I have been playing PC games and I am over 60 years old. No options for an extremely frustrating and very difficult final boss fight ....I gave up. See the discussion forum on this issue for more specifics!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too much occult nonsense and being chased by dark entities. They just cannot make a walking simulator without the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ action parts anymore. Regret buying this, but i'm too far in the game to ask for a refund. Thought it would be similar to Firewatch but it certainly was not. How disappointing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Radiolight review: With only a little interference to enjoyment, Radiolight‘s one-man production offers a supernatural 1980s mystery well worth exploring in a gorgeously detailed yet solidly creepy wo. [Radiolight on Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1342690/Radiolight/)
neutral · AI labelView post →Whilst I do recommend this game, particularly to those looking for a Firewatch/Twin Peaks/Alan Wake vibe, it is not without reservations. Radiolight starts out really strong, creating a sense of foreboding as you approach the park. You feel in the shoes of the investigator as you start looking around, hunting for clues, and going deeper into the forest. The eeriness and isolation is really striking, with the superb voice acting and well timed twig snaps being a large contributor to this. As…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Radiolight had a really intriguing premise, but the execution left a lot to be desired. One of the biggest issues is the lack of meaningful world-building. The game drops you into an environment that feels hollow, offering only the bare minimum of context. Instead of building a rich, immersive atmosphere, it relies heavily on long stretches of exploration with very little payoff. I spent a lot of time wandering through empty spaces, hoping to uncover new information, but it rarely led to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have such mixed feelings about this game but it ends on an extremely positive note. The narrative method of having the walkie talkie and speaking to your buddy the entire time definitely reminds me of Firewatch in the best ways. You get to speak to your buddy and inform him of all of the items that you come across as you're conducting your investigation. There are plenty of spooky moments that work well and the game doesn't really have any actual jumpscares other than maybe one at the lodge.…

neutral · AI labelView post →Nice little story. Not very effective, but not bad. Feels like a horror take on Firewatch - mostly walking around and talking to someone on the radio. The gameplay is dead simple without any real puzzles to solve (tuning into the right radio frequency isn't a puzzle), but it's still interesting to experience, mostly thanks to the voice acting (god I hope it isn't AI. I don't think it is). I like the vibe of walking in the forest at night while chatting to a friend, not knowing what's out there…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I get the strange feeling that while developing this game, someone asked themselves: “What if we combined Firewatch and Oxenfree”? The answer is Radiolight. It’s a game that took the best elements from both of those titles and added a storyline and atmosphere reminiscent of a supernatural thriller. Contrary to appearances, the most powerful and atmospheric aspect of this game is its soundscape. The developer has added a wealth of sounds and details to really convince us that, once we put on…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good, horror themed walking simulator in the style of Firewatch, but don't expect to relive that masterpiece.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3/5 - Average It's an okay walking simulator if you're in the mood for that type of game, but I would pass and look for something better. Sometimes it wasn't clear where to go or what to do, which was annoying, like when after a scripted event a nearby gate opens for no reason but you don't see it so you don't know. The walking and running speed are too slow, it should be double.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a great game! Finally something where you talk via a walker talkie to someone again. Nice voice acting and I loved the mystery. I found the storytelling for an indie game of that price exceptional and I did not expect it to be that good. It’s about 3 hours long and I played it on the Steam Deck where it maintains 60fps on medium settings most of the time. There are dips down to 30 cause lights and shadows hit hard on the gpu. Right at the beginning of the game so don’t be surprised. Guess…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Walking into this game, I honestly didn't know what to expect. But my god, it overdelivers in every category. The music, the scares, the atmosphere, the story, the characters, and so on. It is a fantastic short narrative experience that rivals Firewatch, the inspiration behind the madness. 10/10

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, so this was really something! I didn't expect much from the game, but the game pleasantly surprised me! As an explorer of every corner in all the games I go through and an achievement hunter, it took me a little over 14 hours to complete it. What is better than walking through a park at night and looking for a lost boy? The atmosphere is scary, the mind is working, various sounds, shadows, rustling all around.... what is the truth and what is already just imagination?
